North Fondy looking good

He wanted his players to believe it, but deep down North Fondy coach Nathan Lehman must have known it was just coachspeak.

Before the Orioles' game with Waterloo on Friday night, Lehman told his team that they were going to force a three-and-out and then return the punt for a touchdown.

They did just that.

John Cetnar returned a punt 45 yards for a touchdown to give North Fondy an early lead. It wouldn't hold, however, as the Orioles basically ran out of gas in a 46-26 loss.

It was a fairly impressive debut for a group of guys that haven't played much, if any, varsity football. I'm sure emotions will be high once again on Friday night when it plays host to Ozaukee at Humphrey Field.
