Strong Start For Lalos

Dartmouth football Twitter

Former Dartmouth defensive end Niko Lalos had a big game for the XFL's Seattle Sea Dragons in last  night's nationally televised contest with six tackles (second on the team). He also chipped in on a sack and was credited with a team-high two tackles for loss as the Sea Dragons fell to the St. Louis Battlehawks, 20-18, on a field goal at the gun. The Sea Dragons are now 0-2, with both heartbreaking losses at the end.

Just came across this interview with incoming recruit Cameron Alston, a 6-foot-3, 195-pound defensive back from Conway, S.C.:

 

Alston is one of three Camerons coming this way in the fall. He's joined by fellow members of the Class of 2027 Cameron Davenport, a 6-5, 330 offensive lineman from Ben Davis HS/Indianapolis, and Cameron Lee, a 6-4, 195 outside linebacker from Bishop O'Connell HS/Arlington, Va.

EXTRA POINT
I had a childhood friend who was in Vermont for a speaking engagement stay with us for a couple of days several weeks back hoping to do some skiing. Unfortunately, what had been 18 or so inches of standing snow started to melt and then was largely washed away by drenching rain during his visit.

Given their New England roots, Mrs. BGA's side of the family loves skiing. That said, one week from today we should have a full house of visitors looking to hit the slopes. Mother Nature has cooperated so far with just under nine inches of new snow in the past day or so at here our Vermont hillside home and the forecast looks pretty good for adding a little more in the week to come. Fingers crossed or there are going to be a lot of board games coming off the shelf.
