Lancaster clinches the Mid-South Conference Championship with a 67-0 victory over St. Andrews Sewanee
Oct 17, 2008 - It was homecoming Friday night at LCA, and the Knights did what they have been doing all season
long. They started fast and did not let up. The Knights
kept the scoreboard operator busy last night by scoring
10 touchdowns. It did not take the Knights long to put the game away as the score was 47-0 at half time. St.
Andrews fought hard all night but were simply over matched against a bigger and more aggressive squad. All 27
players saw playing time Friday night for homecoming. Lancaster will end their regular season on Friday, Oct
24th vs Franklin Classical. The Knights are looking into the possibility of playing in a bowl game. More
information will be posted regarding the post season as it becomes available. The regular season finale is
a home game and will be played at Smyrna Middle school. Kickoff is set for 7:00 pm. |

Knights improve to 2-0 with fourth quarter surge
Aug 29, 2008 - Since the program's inception two years ago, Lancaster Christian has never come back in the fourth
quarter to win a ball game. That all changed Friday night against Faith Covenant Christian Academy. From the
first snap of the game it was easy to see that FCCA was more athletic at almost every position than LCA. However, LCA
proved to be the tougher team throughout the four quarters. Justin Gosnell opened the scoring for the Knights with a
30 yard field goal. Later in the first half LCA attempted another field goal that was blocked and returned for FCCA's
only touchdown. LCA held the Eagles on four downs in the fourth quarter and took possession around mid-field. The
Knights drove the ball down to the twenty-two yard line. On second and seven the Knights ran a half back pass to the
Eagles one yard line. The Knights pushed it into the end zone and missed the two point conversion. The final
score of the game was 9-8. |

Knights explode in second half to take down MJCA 48-19 in opener Aug 22, 2008 - LCA looked poised for a big first half as Junior Cody Gwynn intercepted Mount Juliet on their first play of the game. However, the Knights went three and out on their first drive. LCA held Mount Juliet in check on defense and then Stephen Dye rumbled 78 yards to open the scoring for the Knights. LCA opened up a 13-0 lead in the second quarter. That lead didn't last very long as the MJCA Saints came back to score making it 13-13 before LCA scored again before the half making it 19-13 at half time. In the second half LCA began to chew up big chunks of yardage on the ground. LCA scored four touchdowns in the second half to win 48-19. LCA had a school record 518 yards rushing in the game.
The Knights host Faith Covenant Christian Academy from Huntsville, Alabama on Friday, August 29th. This game is the
home opener for LCA and kickoff will be at 7:00 at Smyrna Middle School. |

Knights fall short in a tight game at Zion Christian Academy
Aug 15, 2008 - As with our other two scrimmages this year, (Nashville Christian and last Friday night vs Zion) we
couldn't seal the deal. We had the lead late in the game thanks to a nice drive which started at our own 35
yard line. With about a minute left in the game Stephen Dye scored on a 19 yard scamper that put us up 27-21.
We did not execute the PAT and we left Zion with a little too much time. They scored quickly on a deep
pass and made the point after to retake the lead 28-27. We saw a lot of positives tonight and I'm sure we'll
see even more once we look at the film. We had very few penalties tonight and only one turnover. Our #2
guys got some valuable playing time tonight during halftime. They scored twice and shut out Zion's second unit.
Again, my hat is off to Zion and their coaching staff. They do a great job executing their scheme and
they are well coached. We wish them the very best in their season. Please invite friends and family and come
out next Friday night at Mount Juliet Christian Academy @ 7:00 to support the Knights in our season opener. |

We are proud of our team's effort Friday night against Zion
Aug 8, 2008 - Our kids had a very good off season. They worked very hard in the weight room and in camp. We were
proud of their effort last Friday night against Zion. Unfortunately we made some pretty big mistakes in terms of
penalties and turnovers. Zion is a very good football team that is well coached. You cannot give any ground to
them relative to costly penalties and turnovers or you will lose. My hat is off to them and their coaches, they
are fine football team and program. We also saw some very positive things from our kids that bode well for the
upcoming season. A lot of players got into the game and that's always a plus. We will get back to work on Monday and
correct our mistakes. I think this team could be pretty good if we continue to work hard and stay healthy of course.
