HANAU, Germany — Anthony Le Vasseur took a screen pass from running back Steven Tracy 10 yards for a touchdown with 1:23 left in the game Saturday to set up Vilseck’s 7-6 victory over Hanau in a Division II-South high school football game.

The play turned a Hanau gamble into a heatbreaking defeat for the Panthers (1-3 overall; 1-2 in II-South). Facing fourth-and-one on its own 10 with under two minutes to play and leading 6-0, Hanau elected to go for the first down and run out the clock.

Vilseck stopped the play, however, and drove for the tying score. Tracy kicked the point-after for the victory.

Kevin Pollock (seven unassisted tackles and three assists) and Kevin Mennona (six solo tackles) led a Vilseck defense which held Hanau to 135 yards rushing and 108 passing.

Hanau’s score came on Chris Cramer’s 55-yard TD pass to Malcomb Lane in the third quarter.

Aaron Vernon and Tracy each intercepted a pass for Vilseck (3-1; 3-1).

Cramer made 11 solo tackles and blocked a pass as Hanau held Vilseck to 144 yards rushing and 43 passing.

Mike Garcia (seven tackles) and Robert Scott (eight tackles), each intercepted a Le Vasseur pass.

Patch 42. Aviano 0

STUTTGART, Germany — Coach Billy Henry’s foray into high-tech game preparation paid off handsomely as quarterback J.D. Lindsey was 4-for-4 for 118 yards and ran for two touchdowns as the Panthers (1-3; 1-2) won their first game of the season against winless Aviano (0-4; 0-3).
