Coach Rowe then unleashed the lethal combination of KeKe Johnson and Quinton Jackson to pile up over 500 yards of total offense on the way to a 63-20 victory over the Caney Creek Panthers.
Jackson had over 150 yards on the ground by halftime as the Lions headed to the locker room with 28-14 lead but had lost a little momentum after a Panther touchdown just before the half.
Caney Creek came out strong in the second half and at the 7:06 mark of the third quarter punched it in for the score a failed two point conversion attempt made the count 28-20.
The Livingston Lion defense clamped down not allowing a Panther score the rest of the way and the offense went on to score 35 unanswered points to seal the win.
The Lion defense was led by Wyatt,Galloway,Elster,Wright,McClain,Johnson,White,and Greg Johnson.
Coach Rowe commented after the game that he felt the young Lions had grown up Friday night and it's a good thing too because it takes grown men to compete in the tough 20-4A district.
The Lions will travel to Houston next Saturday night to battle Booker T. Washington in one last tune up before the district schedule begins.
