Nico Marchini did it all for Lakenheath in its season-opening 38-7 win over Wiesbaden at RAF Lakenheath.

The senior signal caller had a hand in the Lancers’ first four touchdowns – three through the air and one on the ground. Marchini found receiver Brian Miles for a 15-yard score and followed that up with a 33-yard score in the second frame.

Marchini then scampered for an 8-yard touchdown before the break.

He finished his scoring when he threw a second touchdown pass to Thompson for 41 yards. Marchini went 10-for-16 passing with 326 yards and three scores. He also added 94 yards on eight carries.

Miles ended with 154 yards on five catches, Thompson had three receptions for 75 yards and Jake Bane produced a 48-yard grab.

Lakenheath running back Lucius Bowman totaled 81 yards on 11 attempts as the Lancers (1-0) amassed 207 yards on the ground.

Quarterback Ben Cashen threw a 5-yard score to Brady Blake in the third quarter for the Warriors’ lone score. He and Christopher Edwards combined for 19 completions for Wiesbaden (0-1).

Lakenheath’s Chase Rake produced the last two scores of the game, one a fumble recovery in the end zone and then a 75-yard pick-six in the fourth quarter.

Defensively for the Lancers, defensive end Jaden DuBois had five tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Jake Bane and Zach Stutzman each added six tackles.

Lakenheath travels to Vilseck on Sept. 16, while Wiesbaden heads to Stuttgart.

Vilseck 19, Kaiserslautern 13: It took a while for both teams to get going as neither team scored in the first half, but eventually the Falcons ground down the Raiders to open the season with a win.

In fact, Kaiserslautern (0-1) took the lead early in the second half after successfully fielding an onside kick. The Raiders eventually punched the ball into the end zone behind quarterback Rueben Todman, who accounted for more than 200 yards of offense and two scores through the air and on the ground.

After that, Vilseck (1-0) responded through the run game. Senior captain Garrett Hyten had two touchdowns, Junior DeJesus had 177 yards rushing and 33 yards receiving with one score, and Gabrel Mallard contributed 118 yards rushing in the winning effort.

Holding onto the ball proved to be a problem for both squads as seven fumbles were forced.

On defense for the Falcons, Aron Atakuzi had three unassisted and four assisted tackles, Hyten swallowed up Raiders for six unassisted and four assisted tackles and a forced fumble, and DeJesus picked off a pass.

Up next, Vilseck hosts Lakenheath, while Kaiserslautern welcomes crosstown rival Ramstein to its home.
