The Lyons Township varsity football team could easily be sitting with a 4-1 record at this point of the season. Instead, it is at 1-4 after yet another close loss this time, falling to division rival York Community High School 21-20 Friday night at Bennett field.
The Lions never trailed until York scored on a 26 yard touchdown pass and then converted the always interesting extra point, taking a one point lead with 3 minutes 32 seconds left to play.
Just over two minutes earlier LT had taken a 20-14 lead on a 32-yard touchdown run by Ryan Mitchell (17 carries for 228 yards) but missed the extra point wide, thus opening the door for York.
The Dukes played catch up most the game coming back from LT leads of 7-0, 14-7 and finally 20-14.
The Lions then tried to play a little catch up themselves, driving to the York 35 before coughing the ball up and turning it over to York with 1:14 to go.
Next up for the Lions (1-4, 1-2) are the always scrappy Proviso West High School Panthers (2-3, 0-3) at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6 in Hillside.
