    “We had ups, downs, overs and unders in this match,” said Coach Matt Anderson.  “Mid-field Captain Carson Farmer played the entire 80 minutes, putting us in position for the win.  Defensive Captain Devin Thomas came into the match with a lingering injury and pushed through, providing us with the support needed in this even contest. Our keeper, Captain Bryson Hamilton did a nice job keeping Garner of the board with nine saves.  The boys were resilient, giving it everything they had to finish with a win.”
    The next match for the Lions is a girls and boys varsity match on Thursday, April 19, against Iowa Falls-Alden.  The game will be played in Alden with kick off for the girls game at 5:30.
