2019 PLAYERs OF THE WEEK - GAME 10
Lycoming Vs Stevenson

THIS IS HOW GOOD WE PLAYED!

• First Downs: Lycoming 20 - Stevenson 20
• Total Yards: Lycoming 361 - Stevenson 343
• Time of Possession: Lycoming 32min - Stevenson 28min

Lycoming actually played a very good game. In the end, we could not get the ball into the end zone. Did you ever watch Duke Basketball where every shot seemed to rim out. That was us Saturday. But that has not dampened my spirits one dang bit on "Player of the Week!"  In fact it has caused me to pick two "Players of the Week!" Lycoming Football is so proud of these guys!


OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK -  SR WR DEZMEN JOHNSON
What a game Dezmen Johnson had! Six catches for 102 yards. One catch was for 54 yards. This against one of the best defenses in the MAC! In nine games played this year, Johnson had 35 catches for 436 yards, second for Warrior receivers. Dezmen scored three touchdowns this year. We have a wonderful group of wide receivers on this years team and Dezmen has been such a big contributor. Congratulations Dezmen Johnson for all you have done for your teammates.
