Cincinnati Enquirer LaSalle Preview
Players to watch: Senior RB Zach Abbatiello; senior LB Joe Andrews; senior DE Kennen Gibbs; senior DB Pat Bachman; senior DB Cameron Cole.
Other key player: Junior QB Drew Kummer.
Outlook: Kummer completed 20 of 35 pass attempts in 2008 for 319 yards and two touchdowns, and Grippa said the quarterback will have to have a solid season for the Lancers to compete. Gone is former three-year starter Tim
Edmond, who rushed for 610 yards on 115 carries, so Abbatiello will have to be the force on the ground after carrying 28 times for 167 yards last year. La Salle averaged just 196 yards per game in 2008 while allowing 287. Nonetheless, Grippa expects to be in every game. “We have a solid football team that will be competitive in every game,” Grippa said. “We need to stay healthy.”
GO ELKS!
