The B'Ham Brother Connection

Two pairs of brothers hooked up for touchdowns on the Oakland County prep gridiron Friday night and both came from the city of Birmingham.
In Birmingham Brother Rice's 42-24 defeat of Toledo St. Francis De Sales, senior field general Cheyne Lacanaria found his baby brother, Corey, the Warriors fast-emerging playmaking wide out, for seven receptions, 165 yards and a score.
In Birmingham Detroit Country Day's 35-21 downing of crosstown foe Birmingham Seaholm, DCD star junior signal caller Tyler Wiegers connected with his little bro, Tristan, for a second-half touchdown and a 28-7 lead.
Brother Rice and DCD are both favorites to make long runs this football season. Cheyne Lacanaria quarterbacked the Warriors to a Division 2 state championship last year. On Friday against Seaholm, he was a perfect 9-for-9 passing for 172 yards and two touchdowns.
Tyler Wiegers, who already has several D1 colleges flocking in his direction, was 12-20 for 195 yards through the air on Friday. He was one of only two sophomores on the Yellowjackets varsity team in 2011.
Both the Warriors and the 'Jackets hold 2-1 overall records.
