Preview: LaSalle vs. Pine Crest
This week, LaSalle (0-4) faces off against Pine Crest (4-3) on Friday at 7:00 PM. If LaSalle wants to avoid dropping the game, it will first need to focus on holding onto the ball since the team had three turnovers last game.
LaSalle suffered a painful 41 - 19 defeat to North Broward Prep last week. The team got a solid performance out of sophomore Deondre Dozier (he earned two touchdowns and 135 yards rushing the ball); unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win.
Meanwhile, Pine Crest is still above.500 but has been slipping the past two games. Last week it came up short against King's Academy, falling 35 - 21. Senior Brett Elpert didn't go down without a fight, though. He put up some defensive resistance with 13 tackles.
The last time they met, Pine Crest was the clear winner with a 38 - 16 finish. LaSalle couldn't get the same offensive movement going as Pine Crest (415 yards compared to 197 yards), so it will surely be hoping to change that this time around. This defeat knocked LaSalle out of the playoffs, so expect it to come at Pine Crest with a vengeful fire.
