The only touchdown of the game was an impressive 73 yard run by Reece Rodgers in the 2nd quarter. The only other score was a Blaize Espinoza’s 27 yard field goal late in the game.
Next up for the Lions is their Homecoming Game Friday night, September 6, as the Snyder Tigers come to Gordon Wood Stadium for the home opener. Snyder lost to Littlefield in their first game of the season, 34-27.
