great weather for the first game of the season and the Pig Skin Classic! Each

able to get their hands on the ball. In the first half, Mitchelle Canales,
Grant Meador, Ben Hansen, Ethan Pugh, Nathan Hull and Jack Lucchetti were able
to score a touch down. The second half was also very exciting! Connor Dunfee,
Nathan Garrison and Bradley Bode scored with Justin Hull and Jacob Uhlmann also

Week
1 107# Team Leonhard
Tri-City Chargers Leonhard – 0 vs. Tri-City Chargers Vruno – 20
On a hot,
hazy, humid summer day, the team came to the gridiron with four of its players –
Jacob Gabinski (#2), Luke Doncel (#20), Josh Leonhard (#25) and Jake Hlava (#33)
– sidelined with illness or injury. Despite the setback, the other 13 members
of the team – Kyle Lorenz (#7), Chris Impson (#12), Connor Bingham (#17), Joe
Meyers (#40), Luis Martinez (#46), Daniel Zielecki (#55), Nathan Ohse (#60),
Mitch Davey (#61), Andrew Holzapfel (#65), Matthew Weston (#79), Robert Kudlicki
(#82), Michael Hansen (#87), and Tyler Camp (#91) – gallantly took the field,
some filling in for their missing teammates in positions with which they had
little or no experience. Taking advantage of our team’s disadvantage, Team
Vruno scored a touchdown and extra point in the starting minutes of the game.
Vruno’s momentum continued through the first half with his team racking up
another two touchdowns and an additional extra point. In the second half,
although Team Vruno kept coming on full force, our team held them scoreless even
though both Quarterback Lorenz and Center Meyers had joined the list of injured
players. Although our guys weren’t victorious, the game gave them opportunities
to play numerous positions and advance their knowledge of the game. They, also,
played the game without giving up many penalty yards, something positive to
sustain through the remainder of the season. Special mention to Daniel Zielecki,
who did a commendable job in filling in as quarterback. Here’s looking to next
week – LET’S GO CHARGERS!!!
