Lenape Gets Fresh Start With Win Over Rancocas Valley

After ending last year's promising season with four straight losses, Lenape was looking for a fresh start in 2003. Senior running back Zeb Davis gave it to them by taking the opening kickoff 91 yards in for the score. Those six points would be more that enough as the Indians would hold on to defeat Rancocas Valley 12-0 in their season opener.

This defensive contest made it difficult for either team to get in the end zone. But the Indians managed to add some insurance in the second quarter with the only other score in the game when senior Tim Prizzi finished a drive with a five-yard run for a touchdown.

The win is the first for Lenape under new head coach Greg Harvey. Next Saturday the Indians travel to Pemberton, while the Red Raiders will visit another school with a new head coach in Reggie Lawrence at Pennsauken.
