Lincoln-Way East continues its perfect way
» Jim Baranski - New Lenox Community Reporter - 10.02.08
On September 26, Lincoln-Way East kept intact two perfect records. First, the Griffins remained unbeaten for the 2008 campaign with a 42-14 win over archrival Lincoln-Way Central. Also, East continues its total dominance over Central on the football field: the Griffins have never lost to the Knights on the varsity level.
The Griffins (5-0, 1-0) wasted no time getting on the boards as East scored in its first two possessions. Griffin quarterback Spencer Stanek fired touchdown passes of 30 and 33 yards to Eric Stawicki.
Still in the first quarter, the Griffins increased their lead. Jay Corbett blocked a punt and then recovered the pigskin in the end zone for another six-pointer. Thus, East enjoyed a 21-0 advantage in the Southwest Suburban Blue opener.
After a Central touchdown on a 20-yard run by Chase Davis, the Griffins retaliated with two more scores before the end of the first half. Stanek hit Kevin Starke for a nine-yard touchdown, and then Starke ran in from the 1 to increase East's halftime margin to 35-7.
