Even with the distractions of Homecoming, they were ready.
Even coming off one of the programs biggest regular-season wins in recent memory, they were ready.
Even playing a team searching for its first win, they were ready.
Careful not to overlook any opponent in 2018, the Lions were indeed ready last Friday and topped South Western 37-7.
Two short touchdown runs, a longer scoring scamper and two long touchdown passes led the offense, which was overpowering again.
Add in a 34-yard field goal from Elijah Workinger, while Red Lion's defense stifled the Mustangs nearly every turn, and you have a winning formula.
Up next is a date with Northeastern at the Bobcats stadium. Game time is 7 pm.
