The Spartans' relentless double wing offense led by running backs Todd Collier and Cory Donahue, ran over, around and through the Pioneer defense for over 350 yards and 20 first downs in a convincing 40-16 victory at Manning Field tonight.
I believe Collier wore number 28 and Donahue was number 23 but it was really hard to tell since they were mostly a blur all night. The Pioneer defense worked hard, but those backs didn't need much daylight and when they got it, they were gone.The Pioneers were able to put together a couple of nice scoring drives with Mike Karavetsos connecting on two more TD passes, a 30 yarder to tri-captain Mike Thomas and a nine yarder to Steven Yobaccio. Karavetsos also ran in a two point conversion and tossed a two pointer to Dan Ashwell.
In the end, St. Mary's proved to be too quick and athletic for the Pioneers. But being forced to try and stay with the Spartans can only help in the development of the young Lynnfield squad as they head further into the season.
