Legends vs Red Devils Part 2

Saturday Night Lancaster and Clarence will be at Clarence HS to play at least 1 half of football.

Last Time Out

The Lancaster Legends and Clarence Red Devils will be back at it Saturday Night to finish what was started Friday Night. The game will start with the beginning of the 3rd Q, Clarence getting the ball. Lancaster is up by a score of 17-7, having scored first with their first possession. Clarence would score by running the ball down the field and getting into the endzone. Lancaster would get the ball back and on a short pass and long run to get down near the goal line before scoring 6 points. Near the end of the 1st half, the Red Devils would attempt a punt but the Legends blocked it, picked it up and ran it inside the 10 yard line. The Clarence defense would stop 3 plays by the Lancaster offense and force a Legends FG.

1992: A Similar Situation

In 1992, the Lancaster football squad would welcome Bishop Timon to Foyle-Kling Field. A storm would blow over Lancaster brining with it thunder and lighting. The game would be called and it would continue the next night. Water on the sidelines was ankle deep before the referees stopped play. When play was halted, the score was 0-0.

On Saturday night play would begin in the 2nd Quarter and Lancaster would use both the ground and passing game to move the ball. Bill Cwiklinski would cross the goal line 2 times and run for 100 yards along with 58 through the air. The home team would earn a shutout and get the victory on the "Night."

2019 Playoffs

Lancaster and Red Devils may only be 5 miles apart from each other but have only ever faced each other 1 time in the playoffs. In 2019 the Legends traveled to Main Street for a date in the 1st round.
