#5 Ta (tay) McNeal will take over as QB. He’s a junior and has been playing a little bit of everywhere and has taken over for Ruiz a few times earlier in the season as well. In my unprofessional opinion he’s just as athletic as Ruiz. I’m not sure how good his arm is, but speed and elusiveness he’s not far behind if at all. I also can’t speak for how well he knows the offense or if he can make the right reads, but athleticism wise he’s got it. And Ruiz should be just fine for baseball season. I think collarbones are usually 2-3 months for a full recovery. He’s currently committed to Houston Baptist so I’m sure he’s excited and looking forward to getting back on the diamond.

46-14 final. Great game to Lumberton- y’all played great. Not to take anything away from you guys, but Livingston played atrociously. Absolutely pitiful and was the worst I’ve seen us play all year. The defense looked lost, I think with the exception of a 70 yard touchdown pass we had more penalty yards than yards of offense, and we had three kicks blocked and lost an onside kick with special teams. I love our kids and they’ve had a rough couple of weeks, but the coaches didn’t have them ready for the game at all. Hopefully we can bounce back next week; it looks like it was a wild week for district. Also word on the street is our QB (Damian Ruiz) broke his collarbone and will be out for the season. Good luck to the Raiders for the rest of the season, you guys looked great tonight.

Lions hold on! Absolutely great game to the Falcons. Definitely one to remember. Best of luck to y’all in the playoffs!

INTERCEPTION LIONS. RUN THE CLOCK OUT BOYS.

15 yard chop block backs them up. 55 seconds to go with three time outs.

1 minute and 39 yards to go for Huffman.

LIVINGSTON SCORES. Lions lead 21-20. 1:52 to go. Excuse my excitement, it’s just been 60 years since Livingston has won a district title. It’s been a long time in the making and just to be this close is exhilarating.

4th and 2 Huffman. Sticks coming out. MISSED BY INCHES.

Huffman converts a 4th and 5 to keep the clock burning and the ball out of Livingston’s hands. Lions need a stop soon to have a shot to win. 3:26 to go.

Touchdown Lions! We’ve got a one possession game down the stretch. Huffman 20 Lions 14.

Lions DLineman picks off a screen, ball on the 15!

Falcons have been squibbing each kickoff and the Lions almost brought one back, starting this possession at the Falcon’s 30. Hopefully we can get into the end zone this drive.

Falcons respond with the same run play that scored in the first down to the 1 yard line, score on next play. 2 point conversion no good. Looks like the offenses have awoken.

Lions score on a 30 yard strike on the first drive of the half, Extra point good to take a 7-6 lead.

It’s a punting party tonight. Seems like whoever has one more big play will win it. I haven’t seen Huffman play at all this year so I’m not sure what their offense usually looks like, but Livingston’s is looking slow and methodical. We have the speed and athletes so I’m not sure game plan we’re going for. But hey, we can all coach from the stands!
