LIONS MAUL PANTHERS 41-12

The Lyons Township football team ran all over Proviso West Saturday in Hillside, literally.

Quarterback Ryan Mitchell (105 yards on 23 carries) along with running backs Deonte Brown (150 yards on 15 carries) and Nick Brown (91 yards on 19 carries) scored two touchdowns each for the Lions (2-4, 2-2) fueling their 41-12 trouncing of the host Panthers (2-4, 0-4).

The LT defense also turned in an inspired performance, holding the explosive Panthers to 12 total points and shutting them down completely in the second half. Proviso West tried to deploy a "high octane" passing attack utilizing respected receiver Kyle Prater but the Lions defensive backs would have no part... picking Panther quarterback Teddy Sloan off four times.

The Lions try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive this Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in the homecoming game vs. Leyden at Bennett Field.
