A 21-point fourth quarter performance from the Austin High Maroons (2-1), coupled with seven total turnovers by Lehman (1-2), were the difference makers in the Lobos 38-14 loss on homecoming at Bob Shelton Stadium on Friday night.
“We made a lot of progress tonight, it was the most physical I’ve seen us play.” Lehman head coach Bruce Salmon said. “We’ve just got to string together four quarters. That’s the trick.”
The first two drives of the game were something to forget for the Lobos as Austin High took a 14-0 lead within a minute into the first quarter. Austin High quarterback Charles Wright connected with receiver Nick Anderson on a 21-yard touchdown pass on their six-play opening drive, and the Maroons followed it up with a 29-yard pick-six from defensive back Holdan O’Kelley only three plays later.
