LEBO — The score may not indicate it, but Southern Coffey County High’s quality of play improved significantly Friday evening.
But host Lebo hit on several big plays early to bring home a 56-24 win.
The loss drops the Titans to 0-2 on the season.
“We had a couple of mental lapses early, which led to some long touchdown passes for them, but other than that, we played pretty well,” SCC head coach Korey Lankton said. “We were able to move the ball on the ground. Credit goes to our offensive line.”
Lebo led 22-0 before the Titans dented the scoreboard in the second quarter. Chism Newkirk and Josiah Witteman connected on three touchdown passes, covering 10, 15 and 16 yards. Newkirk’s fourth touchdown of the day went seven yards to Tyler Houston.
The Titans closed the gap to 12, 36-24, before Lebo scored late in the third and twice in the fourth to seal the win.
Newkirk completed 8 of 18 passes for 78 yards. Walker Harred racked up 132 of SCC’s 228 rushing yards. Witteman had five receptions covering 55 yards.
Harred paced the defense with six tackles. Witteman had five stops and an interception.
Southern Coffey County hosts Marais des Cygnes Valley next Friday.
