COMEDY NIGHT

We had a big crowd for our first ever comedy night. Quick

whitted comedian Mike Whitman opened the show, followed

by Tony V. The Lancer Football team’s feeding habits were

the subject of Tony’s opening

material. Noone was immune,

including the audience and the

photographer. Tony V. left us

with this gem – always

remember where you put your

pants.

COACH’S SPOTLIGHT

Coach Russ Greenwood is the Assistant

Coach for the Freshmen Lancers. He is the

youngest member of the Londonderry staff,

joining them in 2016. Russ played football

for the Lancers from 2010 to 2014.

We put Greenwood on the spotlight with

these questions:

1. The freshmen have had a very successful season so far. What is the key to your success?

“Success comes from all the players. They

have learned what us coaches have tried to

teach them and they have executed it during

the game.”

2. What is one word or phrase that you hope the players would use to describe you?

“One word I hope the kids would use to describe me would be passionate. I love coaching football and I love

Londonderry football. Mainly Because I played for Londonderry I want to see us succeed at every level.”

3. Who has the best nickname on the team?

“I have to say the best nickname is Coach Bombs (Coach Bombardier)” FYI Coach Bombs did not tell us to print that

PERFORMANCE TIP OF THE WEEK

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act,

but a habit." Aristotle

We talk a lot about creating a winning culture and what that takes. We’ve

given examples of the “little things” over the last several newsletters that

need to become habit. These habits create the future as they drive the

certain expectations and behaviors that create “culture”. What are some

other habits that create a winning culture?

Football Highlights

It is unsettling to know we didn't play our best game

Friday night. We will play Salem in consecutive

weeks. Both teams are familiar with each other as we

play each other every year.

We have to

improve on

some things

before we

enter the

playoffs in a

little over a

week

The JV Lancers got their 6th win

of the year in comeback fashion.

The Lancers scored 19 straight

points after being down 6 in the

second half. This brought the

final score to 33-20.

The team showed

great resilience and

never gave up.

The defense came up with

crucial turnovers and stops

when it matter and the

offense some produced

explosive plays.

The final JV game is Saturday @ Salem.

After another good week of

practice the Freshman Lancers

handled Nashua South in their last

home game of the season. Coming

in we knew what needed to be

done to win this game. The offense

wanted to go fast and wear them

down from the beginning. The

defense was flying around and

playing aggressive, causing two

turnovers and making a big fourth

down stand on the first drive of the

game.

These kids told the

coaches at the beginning

of the season that they

wanted to be a part of

something special this

year.

This Thursday we look to finish what we started

in Salem at 4pm.
