The Lowndes Signal
All three Lowndes County high school football fell on the road, Friday night, but the Central High Lions impressed their coach with their performance.
Central fell to Luverne 19-6, Lowndes Academy fell to Chambers 32-14 and Calhoun fell to Goshen 42-18.
The Central High Lions suffered their third regional loss in as many games, Friday night, falling 19-6 at Luverne, but the Lions impressed their coach James Bibb Jr. with their play.
Marcus Mitchell scored the Lions’ only points on a 53-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Alex Bryant.
“We played a great game, our defense stepped up,” Bibb said. “At the same time we had too many penalties on the offensive side of the ball and just shot ourselves in the foot.”
Bibb said he was glad for the way his kids came out and played and stepped up. He said, “We just have to keep punching and minimize our mistakes.”
The Lions will be home against Autaugaville this coming Friday.
