Lions Look For First Win
At Navasota Friday Night
The Livingston Lions travel to
Navasota Friday night to battle
with a team that at the present
time have the same seasons rec-
ord as the Lions. Both teams have
lost all five of the games they
have played.
The Lions’ record, however, is
not as one-sided as the Rattlers
from Navasota. Navasota has lost
40-0, 59-0, and 73-0 in their last
three ball games.
The Lions have been able to
score only 3 touchdowns this sea-
son, so the game should either be
a defensive game or one team
should win over the other by
about 3 touchdowns.
Let’s pick, the Lions to win, by
the score of 25-6.
