2008 Freshman results

A huge THANK YOU from the SLHS Freshman Football Team goes out to BURT CARRASCO for his generosity Thursday night after the home game.  Mr. Carrasco a huge fan of the South Lyon football programs offered to feed the boys after the game, the boys headed out to the "RICKY MOBILE" as many of us refer to, to Mr. Carrasco's motor home for pizza and pop.  Mr. Carrasco a parent of a Varsity Gold Panther-Ricky Carrasco, often served up gourmet treats to the boys last year after practices, and wanted to extend his gratitude to the boys that moved up from the Panther program this year.  He and his children have made many friends over the last couple of years primarily through football.

We can not thank you enough Burt......

Week 3 brought us back to the jungle as the Freshman team caged in another victory devouring the Northville Mustangs 44-8.

The game started with hunger in the eyes of many of the players. Starting off the first  half  Brian Birckelbaw scored 3 TD's, Justin Tolinski took in 2 - 2 point conversions, Trevor Hilden scored a TD and kicked in 3 PAT's, Mike Evans took in a TD rounding out the first half of the game with a score of 37-0. The second half brought us Joel Shekell's TD followed by Trevor Hilden's PAT.  Northville did get in a few points and threatened to score again but were stopped by the likes of our key defense, which included JJ Hillard, Jake Sexton, Justin Tolinski, Mark Patera, & Mark Kurzeja.  Additional defenders holding back Northville were Derek Sawle,  Tyler Sallan, Kyle Horner, Justin Allen and many of the other players.

Week 2 brought the freshman team into Milford Maverick's Territory as the SL Freshman team proved that the Lions roar is fierce. With a win of 21-0, the scoring started the evening with 4:39 left in the first quarter as Justin Tolinski pushed his way in for a touchdown, followed by another one 3 1/2 minutes later, both touchdowns were followed by successful PAT's by Trevor Hilden.  The Second quarter brought yet another TD in by Andrew Sarsfield with a successful PAT by again Trevor Hilden.  The Milford Mavericks were determined to score but to no avail.  Key tacklers, blocker and defenders were Andrew Sarsfield, Brian Birckelbaw, Justin Tolinski, Alan Hamilton, Ryan Betz, Trevor Hilden, Jacob Sexton and Tyler Sallan..  Successful carriers were of key plays thanks to Blake Lineberry, Jake Sexton and Ryan Nelson's pass interception in the Milford end-zone which brought the crowd to a roar.
