Despite loss to Huntsville, Lakers see good things from young players
Despite seeing his team come up on the short end of a 65-26 decision against Huntsville on Tuesday, Sept. 26, Lake City Middle School football Coach Brandon Duncan found some positives.
“This is going to sound bad, and’s going to sound a lot worse than it is because we lost 65-26, but we played well,” Duncan said. “We had a sixth-grade quarterback come in and throw three touchdown passes.
“I really saw some potential in him.”
The Lakers (1-6) have been ravaged by injuries all season.
Austin Vaden answered the when called upon.
He threw a touchdown pass to Easton Owens, and followed that up with a successful two-point conversion.
Vaden had a 60-yard scoring strike to Jayden Nolan.
He also had a 70-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Graham.
Owens also had a touchdown pass in the game.
The Lakers played their season finale Tuesday night against Jellico, but results were not available at press time.
