Monday Morning QB: Henson, 5 others enter GV HOF Jefferson coach honored by his alma mater FROM STAFF REPORTSStar Beacon Flaugher also did the job in his one attempt as a placekicker, drilling the extra point after Derrell McCaleb’s 16-yard touchdown run.
But perhaps the thing coach Van McWreath was most impressed was a touchdown-saving tackle Flaugher made on the kickoff to start the second half when Howland’s Danté Marsh broke free for what appeared to be a touchdown. Flaugher pushed Marsh out of bounds inside the Lakeside 10. Two plays later, the Dragons took possession when they recovered a fumble near their own goal line. “Adam played a great game,” McWreath praised. “Coming into the game, he didn’t know if he was a football player. He found out he was.” Not-so-special teams Howland definitely has a weapon in placekicker-punter Eric Albani, who is considered a Division I prospect. He drilled all four extra points he was called on to perform and his 37-yard field goal just before halftime was a key juncture of the game. Albani also did a decent job with four of his punts, averaging 36.8 yards per kick, with a long of 48. However, his average dropped to 29 yards a kick in the fourth quarter. It wasn’t completely Albani’s fault. He received a poor snap that hit the turf at Lakeside Stadium. He had a little trouble picking it up before finally getting off a low kick that hit one of his blockers in the back and resulted in a kick that went for minus-1 yard. There is other evidence to show Albani is a legitimate prospect with a cannon for a leg. Each of his kickoffs went into the Lakeside 5 and two went for touchbacks. Great halftime The Howland and Lakeside bands put on a halftime show that had to have appeal across generational lines. The Tigers’ band had to appeal to those of the baby-boomer set with a program entitled “The British Invasion.” Starting with the tune from the British Grenadiers, they quickly switched to “She Loves You” by the Beatles, then switched to “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and “Get Off My Cloud” by the Rolling Stones. They closed out their program with a feature piece involving their majorettes to the Beatles’ “Penny Lane,” which included a facsimile of a 1960s auto driven around the field and a telephone booth, along with brightly colored flowers and other hints of the era. The Lakeside band went with a more contemporary route. They started off with “How Far We’ve Come” by Matchbox Twenty, followed with “Girlfriend” by Avril Lavigne and closed with “Glamorous” by Fergie.
