The Lisbon Lions varsity football team beat Wapello in Lisbon Friday, Sept. 23, 46-6.
The Lions had a modest lead of 14-0 at the half, before exploding for 25 points in the third quarter. Wapello scored their solitary goal in the same quarter.
Cohen Kamaus, at the quarterback position, had a hand in three touchdowns, with Baylor Speidel scoring two as well.
Ben Morningstar had seven tackles in the game.
“I thought we came out and played our best game by far,” said Lions head coach Phil Whitman.
“Our backs ran hard, and Cohen really threw some good balls to the receivers on offense.The line did a great job blocking, and making holes, and in pass protection.
“Defensively, we tackled so much better than we have all year. I really thought Ben Morningstar and Henry Neymeyer had great games from the linebacker position,” Whitman said.
The coach said the team’s defensive line “really set the tempo on our team this week”, singling out Indy Ferguson, Landon Stole, Jonah Reiling and Blake Harms for praise.
The Lions, now 2-3, will play their homecoming game Friday, Sept. 30, as they host the Pekin Panthers with a 7 p.m. start time.
