LANGLEY WINS !!!!!

After I mentioned earlier this week that it looked like Langley was heading in the right direction, they went out and proved it by beating Oliver 34-32. You can see by this Post-Gazette Article, that is was a pretty exciting game.

From local dispatches

As far as long losing streaks go, they don't end with much more drama than this.
The Langley football team snapped a 22-game losing streak with a 34-32 overtime City League victory against Peabody last night at Cupples Stadium.

Jesse Bell threw touchdown passes with no time left in regulation (21 yards to Stephon Faye) and on the first play of overtime (10 yards to Tyrone Smith) in addition to rushing for 118 yards on 12 carries and scoring the tying 2-point conversion at the end of regulation.
Bell's brother Joey had 114 yards on 29 carries for the Mustangs (1-2, 1-2), whose previous victory came Oct. 14, 2005, against Brashear.
"I want to keep this [new] streak going," Langley coach Ken Wright said. "Everyone remembers the bad one, but we want to start a good one so everyone can remember this streak instead."

Pierre Carr had four touchdowns for the Highlanders (0-2, 0-2).
