LLANTEROS OFF TO SLOW START

AP-June 13, 2009
The much loved Llanteros played their first regular season game last night against Boca Srs at McAllister Fields. The team lost 5-3 against a better conditioned and better trained Boca team despite valiant efforts in the second half.
Team management, in a post-game interview, said "Even though we lost, the game it gave us an opportunity to see the things we need to work on and to bring the team together." Some fans have criticized the staff for failing to hold pre-season practices or conditioning sessions.
Late in the half it was apparent the lack of depth on the bench was affecting a very winded Llanteros team. Missing from the field were fan favorites Albert Brosig, Larry Reyes Jr, Efrain Wong, Adam Ramos and Noe Albiso.
The Llanteros Reserve squad suffered a similar result although they were poised for a rally when the game was called by the opposing team due to darkness.
The next Llanteros game will be played this coming Friday night. Excellent season ticket packages remain and players are always available for photos and autographs immediately after the games.
