BOMBERS TAKE ON LA CRESCENT

The Cannon Falls Bombers will try to rebound from last Friday nights game.They have the La Crescent Lancers coming to town. The Lancers are 2-1 in the HVL. They have beaten Pine Island and Kenyon, and lost to Stewartville. They are lead by, sophomore quarterback Levi Massman who has thrown for 337 yards, running back Jake Paten and receiver Zake Melsotad. The Lancers are coming off a big win against Pine Island 38-10. The Lancers return 10 seniors to this years squad. Offensively the Lancers run the spread read, much like the Bombers. The Lancers, with a sophomore QB, look to run a little more, than pass. The Lancers are at the bottom of the HVL in offense and defense stats. The Bombers can not have any lingering affects of last weeks game. This is a game the Bombers should win, but they must play better football. They did have 186 yards on the ground last week, but most came after the game was decided. The Bomber defense can not give up the yards they did last week, almost 500 yards, and expect to win this Friday. So it comes down again to the run game, the Bombers have to have a good night on the ground. If they can have success running the ball, it will open up the passing game. The Bombers defense must also have a good game, stop the run - stop the run. I did think that the Bombers, did do a good job of getting pressure on the Kasson QB last week, that needs to continue friday night. They just gave up to many big plays, and the tackling must get better, rally to the ball. The Lancers are not as athletic as the Komets, this should be a good match up for the Bombers, if they can run the ball and stop the run.                                       Bombers 27  Lancers 17
