Reflecting on the Lions’ 34-28 victory at Glen Rose last week, Lions first-year head coach Jeryl Brixey said, “All in all, it was a hard-fought win. We made it a heck of a lot harder than it needed to be, but it’s a learning experience. Leading the La Vega offense are quarterback Kourtney Parr (38 of 68 for 529 yards, 6 TDs, 5 INTs; 80 rushing yards, TD) and receivers Jabarie Thornton (12-152, 2 TDs), Jemarcus Daniel (8-134, 2 TDs), and Qwae Willis (4-112, 2 TDs). Multiple running backs have seen action thus far including Jourden Walker (108 rushing yards), Elbert Jones (97 rushing yards, TD), and Ben Thompson (77 rushing yards, TD). Leading rushers thus far are Levi Pearson (164 rushing yards) and Trent Buffington (90 rushing yards, TD).
