No Laughing Matter, Rhinos Score Forfeit Win Over Jesters

Rhinos jump to 1-5 on the Season


Ronkonoma, NY--Despite several years of successfully fielding teams throughout Long Island, across North America, and in an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean called Hawaii, the Jesters were unable to scrounge enough laxers to field a complete squad. Thus forfeiting the game and receiving another mark in the "L" column.

However, these Jesters are no Shakespearian Fools or just another bunch of Jango Edwards. After acquiring two of the top offensive players from the Rhinos and with virtually no bench, the Jesters made clowns of the Rhinos by chalking up a 24-22 win in scrimmage play.

The Jesters, led by the God-Father of Long Island Lacrosse, Tom Brazell, out-hustled and out-manned the Rhinos. At times making them look like they were the team that was short handed. Destroying the Rhinos on groundballs and in transition, the Jesters went up 4-0 in the first 3 minutes of play and never looked back. They never relinquished their lead the entire game. All of this without their tatooed leader Rich Nessum.
Jester goalie Dennis Rogers also came up big last night. Especially during a late game Rhino surge, stuffing point blank shots using his stick, feet and shoulders.

More good news ahead for the Rhinos. They don't have to play any good teams until the playoffs. That is if they can make it.
