The Dublin Lions are looking for a district win Friday as they head to Eastland to take on the Mavericks at 7 p.m.
“Eastland is 0-8 but preseason was pretty brutal,” said Lions head Football Coach and Athletic Director Greg Hardcastle. “They’re a pretty young team as well. We’re looking forward to a great game.”
The Lions are seeking the W after a 77-7 away defeat against the Comanche Indians.
Dalan Rasberry score the sole late game TD and Rey Chacon complete the Point After Touchdown kick.
“I was really proud of the boys; they never stopped fighting,” Hardcastle said of the Lions, who also showed discipline with only three penalties across the game.
“Offensively, we coudn’t move the ball as well as we wanted,” he said.
Hardcastle praised the Comanche offensive line who “executed very well.”
The Dublin coach said the team will continue working on blocking and tackling as they get ready for Friday.
