Since my hubby (Eric Lanthorne, Class of '86) will be the honorary co-captain of Newport's team this Friday, I'm voting for Newport! Go Wildcats!! :thumb:

Thanks! He might be older, balding, and no longer a spring chicken (or "Rhino", as his nickname was), but I still think he's a stud. Thanks for the props! I'll make sure he sees them! Oh, and he still talks to Tony Merrill once or twice a month, and they are still pretty good friends.

I'm MRS. Eric Lanthorne, and you were partially correct, kydlineguy. We lived & worked in the Mason area for awhile, but we lived in Trenton OH when our 1st daughter was born. We are still living in Trenton OH and have 2 daughters, 6 and (almost) 3. We've been married for 11 1/2 years now. Eric is working as an injection molding line operator at a company fairly close to Trenton, and he's pretty happy here. He doesn't like to discuss his high school football days because he says "that's in the past". I've only recently seen newspaper clippings of the games he & his brother played for Newport High School, and I have to say I'm proud of him! His mom & sister still live in the Newport area, and our nephew (Ryan Taylor) played for Newport a few years ago.
