WH won. Get ready for a tie-breaker!

Crazy game. Two punts by Kathleen in the fourth quarter that a Lakeland player let hit them and did not cover, the first of which set up the Kathleen go ahead TD.

 

The tie-breaker worries me a bit. Lakeland has been a very slow starter this season. With only one quarter, they better come out ready to go.

Me too. Playing behind will catch up to you sooner or later.
