The Lions were back in action tonight but fell to the Lebanon Yellow Jackets by a score of 6-3.
After giving up an early goal inside the first 5 minutes the boys made some adjustments and started to connect well.
Johnny Carriger would get us on level terms as he danced through a few yellow jacket defenders and found the target from about 19 yards out.
Nearly 10 minutes later Johnny would again work his way through the Yellowjacket penalty area to slide his second pass the keeper to bring us to a 2-1 score line. But the yellow jackets found their second just before the half to send us into the break knotted at 2 a piece.
Less than 8 minutes into the second half our Senior center back Ryan Mathis would take a hard knock that saw him leave the game. Filling that hole in the back line was no easy task as the yellow jackets began an onslaught of through balls and applying relentless pressure to our back line.
On a quick transition Johnny Carriger would send a cross into the box for a Matt Resch finish (that connection is feeling a little familiar after three games) to put us up 3-2. But the lead lasted only minutes after Lebanon pulled back 3-3.
The final 20 would see Lebanon tack on 3 more to finish the game out at 6-3.
The lions are back in action on Tuesday, when we travel to district opponent Fatima to take on the Comets. We’ll see you all there!
