WC Fighting Lancers Play Hard and Finish Strong!

After a tough game against the OC Knights last Friday, the scoreboard failed to tell the whole story. The scoreboard merely read, "Home 18, Visitor 42." While victory for the WC Lancers would not be on the scoreboard Friday night, victory was clearly visible in the character, perseverance, determination, and strength of some of the toughest Lancer football players ever to play for the Fighting Lancers! With the help of the Lancer offensive line, Nick Virgen plowed through OC's defense to carry the football over the goal line for one of the Fighting Lancer's touchdowns. WC's defense wanted in on the action and would not be denied as Masis Torosyan rocked OC's offense with not one but two interceptions! The Fighting Lancers determination resulted in some tough injuries. Battered but never broken, the victory cries of "Play Hard!" and "Finish Strong!" echoed on the Lancer sideline, in the huddle, and on the field! Despite OC's strategy to doubleteam and blocks to the back, and in spite of the numbers and injuries, EVERY Fighting Lancer fought hard to the very end! A tough loss? Yes! An amazing victory of determination and perseverance? Absolutely Yes!
