The Lincoln football Lions recently faced off against the Oak Grove Eagles in the Lion Den. Lions kicked off the game with a four way tie for 1st, the four way tie for 1st were held with Live Oak, Oak Grove, Piedmont Hills, and also Lincoln. The Lions took a loss to the Oak Grove Eagles in a tough, hard fought game on Friday, October 20th, 2017 with a score of 17-7.

With Lincoln and Oak Grove both tied for first, both teams came out to play their hearts out. The Lions fought as hard as they could, but there was a struggle on the offense and we couldn’t punch in the points to pull in a victory, especially with our running back #23 Gabe Florez injured with a sprained ankle.

Also, this year the Lions have struggled with their passing game. All season they’ve pulled together a total of only 212 passing yards.
