The Lions head up to Wenatchee this Friday to take on a Panther team that won their season opener against Eastmont.

The Lions hope to get back on track this week after losing to South Kitsap 35-14 in a game that was closer than the final score.

YAKIMA, Wash. — Recovering from a two-touchdown deficit to tie Kennewick at halftime, Davis’ often spectacular athleticism was finding a way to keep pace Friday night at Zaepfel Stadium.

But to have any chance in the second half against the physical Lions, who were commanding in the trenches, Davis needed to cut down or eliminate one specific misstep — turnover.

It was a hope that didn’t last long.

Kennewick erupted for 22 points in the first eight minutes of the third quarter — a sudden breakaway aided by consecutive short-field turnovers by the Pirates — and rolled to a 48-32 victory in CBBN Columbia play.
