(excerpt from Howard Conference 2005-2006 Season Preview Press Release)

LRHS has admittedly overachieved since the team was formed four years ago and went 0-10.  Maintaining that effort will be tough as the Lightning graduated some key players from last year’s team that went 9-3-0, including MSHL all-stars Jay Chancellor and Eric Feigenheimer.  Last year, the Lightning won the A division and advanced to the quarterfinals of the state playoffs, eventually losing to Churchill.  Returning MSHL all-star goalie Zach Thompson should keep Long Reach in many games as the Lightning move up to the AA division.  The other good news is that Long Reach still has senior captain Brad Pryor whose 22 points in 11 games last season led all Lightning forwards.  In addition to Pryor and sophomore Jared Bosley (14 points in 12 games) Long Reach adds freshman Nat Rojas, an exciting and fast player.  Long Reach’s strengths have always been in its team play and its defense.  It should be interesting to see how Long Reach fares in the more difficult AA division.
