The Lakewood Lancer offense finally had some pep in it's step after only scoring nineteen points in it's last two games, came away with a Moore League victory over Long Beach Jordan 47-12. Lakewood's quarterback Chris Bell had a good night throwing the football on the night, as he completed 14 of 20 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns to help sparks the Lancer's offense. Lakewood had a balance attack as they scored in the air, and on the ground against the Panthers.

Kendal Rodgers led the ground attack rushing for 84 yards on 14 carries and 2 touchdowns. The other backs who contribute to the scoring was Shane Sprewell who carried the ball 8 times for 79 yards and 1 touchdown, and Robert Bundette carried the ball 8 times for 51 yards and 1 touch down. The defense for the Long Beach Jordan did all it could to keep them in the game, but the Lancers just had too much fire power on the night.

Chris Bell two touch downs on the night came on a fourteen yard touch down pass to Daren Gardenhire and a eighty yard touch down pass to X'avier Shepard who was wide open to go along with the ground attack against the Panthers. The victory for Lakewood at least for the moment puts them in second place in the Moore League, and Long Beach Jordan now 1-3 have a slim chance of making the playoffs. The defense for Lakewood was huge for them as they force the Panthers to commit three turnovers.

Lakewood's Daren Gardenhire had two interceptions and Anthony Davis had one. The only bright side for the Panthers came from special teams as Josh Ross had back to back kick off returns in the fourth quarter, but the most spectacular was the one he return for 92 yards was their only two scores.. Lancers head coach Vince Lobendhn said," it was good for us to come out the gate to get things going on offense, as well as our special teams had a good night, and our defense was good  also.
