LT Takes the W !!!

21 Jan 2023 by Steve Casey

WOW! And with NO time left on the clock today, with LT in possession of the ball, and down 24 to 19 (after a Mateo Cuadra try — on the heels of a Zac Oberle try), against a very big and tough Allen team, your LT Cavs managed to keep the ball, not turn it over, not get any penalties, and continue driving forward from around 25 yards out, for another minute, until Sophomore Tomas Lopez (our Hooker 2) got the Try!!! Tied: 24-24. Now, Senior Mateo is also our kicker, and lined up for an off-center conversion, and… drum roll… GOT IT!!!!! LT Takes the W 26-24 with ZERO time on the clock. WHAT A WIN!!!! We’ll share the video link when we get it. And – something the parents in the stands did not realize – somehow the refs clock was not what our scoreboard clock was showing. So if you saw 3 or 4 of us down by the field freaking out when the scoreboard said “4:00 left” — there was ONE minute left. We were frantically shouting ONE MINUTE boys!!! PHEW!!!! Amazing effort by our mostly new team who has only had 3 real weeks to practice. Great job boys!! Great job Coaches!! THANK YOU PARENTS for all your volunteer help today!!
