**LAWSON - 415** 

Congratulations to Albany Metro Mallers quarterback Scott Lawson.  He has broken the all-time minor league record for most touchdown passes in a career.  The record-breaking TD throw was an 80-yard connection between Lawson and WR Deon Champen at 11:58 of the third quarter against Troy on October 4, 2008.  Number 400 occured on July 18th, 2009 against Monroe County to WR Culture Branch. Keep a watch as this historic number continues to climb. 

Lt. Matt Posniewski was severely injured in August of 2007.  He is the brother of former Mallers player and head coach Luke Posniewski.

A letter from Joe Bevins 

I am doing fine let the guys know I wish I could be there playing ball with them now.  I am definitely playing next year, no questions asked, no if ands or buts about it. I am back in the gym & on a diet   I lost 20 lbs. now, I am 255 lbs, and i am going to get down to 235 lbs. within the next couple of months.  I benched 275lbs., for 2 REPS this week; I have been lifting 5 days a week. So let the guys know if I can do it in a Combat Zone after working a 12 hours shift , they better be too.  So let your starting TE know that he will be my back up next year and let Cam know he will not have to long snap anymore either.

I only need this stuff because we are on a very small base that has no store.
Here is the list, can you post it on the site under my address.

Mouthwash, Aqua Fresh extreme clean toothpaste, AXE body wash, Old Spice fresh deodorant, shaving gel with aloe in it, have sensitive skin u know, q-tips, baby wipes.   No chocolate, it will melt before I even get it.
