Lions roll over Nevada, 47-10

The Clear Lake Lions scored on its first seven possessions and rolled to a 47-10 victory over Nevada in the first Class 3A District 3 contest of the season.  With the win the Lions, ranked No. 2 in 3A, are off to a 3-0 start.  The victory also tacked another win on the teams’ state leading win streak.  They have now won 35 straight regular season games; it was their 26th straight district win.
    A balanced attack netted 527 yards of offense for the Lions.

    Ozzie Adams led the charge with 9/11 passing for 179 yards and three touchdowns.  He also ran the ball nine times for 68 yards. 
    Michael Keeran was a key receiver, taking in two Adams passes for touchdowns.  He scored a third TD on a 64 yard run.  On the night, he collected 87 yards on four carries.
