| Running back Max Znika #20 did the "heavy lifting" for Lowell, carrying the football 32 times for 160 yards and two touchdowns in the Red Devils' 31-28 victory over the top-10 ranked Brickies, 11-03-06. (All photos by Mark Smith) | Even though the temperature was in the low 30s, senior lineman Mike Staniewicz #76 could be seen taking advantage of a break in the action to remove his headgear for a moment to help cool down from the heat of battle in the trenches with the Brickies, 11-03-06.

Hobart halfback Andrew Jackson #6 proved to be hard to hard to bring down, as he rushed 39 times for 208 yards against Lowell, including three second half touchdowns that gave the Brickies a 21-20 lead and brought them back to a 28-28 tie late in the game. (All photos by Mark Smith) |
But the Lowell defense was able to stop Jackson #6 from time to time, even if it took half the team to take him down. Here at least five Lowell defenders are in on the play, including Chris Jacobson #18, Luke Palmer #10, Geno Wentworth #50 and Mike Staniewicz #76. (All photos by Mark Smith) |

It was quite a night for junior defensive back TJ Lukasik #7, seen being interviewed by members of the media after the game.
