On Friday, August 31st, the CKM Lions Varsity football team battled against the Foothill Mustangs. The Lions struggled throughout the game with turnovers and had difficulty stopping the Mustangs’ offense. In the end, the Lions fell with a final score of 74-0.
The Lions began with the ball, although their offensive possession lasted only a couple of minutes before they came upon fourth down and were forced to punt the ball away. The Mustangs’ offense worked like a machine as soon as they touched the ball, scoring only four minutes into the game. The Lions turnover troubles showed early when an interception was thrown thrown midway through the first quarter, turned into another Mustangs touchdown.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lions’ offense saw more problems. After another fourth down, the team decided to punt the ball away. It took only a few plays for the Mustangs to score following the punt by the Lions. More giveaways by the Lions offense resulted in more scores for the Mustangs despite our Lions’ best efforts.
The second half was more of the same. The Lions played hard, but the Mustangs played harder and CKM ended up falling 74-0. After this heartbreaking loss to the Foothill Mustangs, our Lions hope to improve upon this performance in their next matchup against Hiram Johnson at home on September 6th.
