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.
