Meyers won the game 26-7, leaving the Knights reeling after they'd had three straight victories over Northwest, Bishop Haley, d Bishop Hoban. ' “I thought we played hard,” said Lehman coach Rich Gorgone. “Obviously, we missed a lot of tackles.” The Knights also lost lineman Gary Masters early in the first quarter to an injured shoulder. “He was one of our best play- ers,” said Gorgone. “That didn't help us any.” While Meyers had 300 yards rushing to Lehman's 145, Knights quarterback Pat McManus had several successful runs. But it wasn't enough. The Knights only completed four first downs, allow- ing Meyers to control the ball for most of the game. BREAKOUT - Lake Lehman junior Rob Spencer, 32, dashes through a hole in the Meyers line to run for a 57 yard touchdown Saturday with less than three minutes left to play.
