Cavaliers ground out win
By Greg Billing Staff Writer
Lehman Catholic gained some confidence, and some valuable computer points, with its 14-7 win over Milton-Union on Friday, Aug. 29, at Milton. Last week the Cavaliers lost to Anna on a pair of fourth-quarter turnovers. This week, the Cavs held Milton to just nine plays in the fourth quarter and recovered a fumble to seal the win. Star of the game: Sophomore fullback Kaleb Goins piled up 143 yards on 21 carries and scored both of Lehman’s touchdowns on runs of one and four yards. Turning point: Milton still had time until Lehman ran off a 12-play, 69-yard drive midway through the fourth quarter. The drive started a 6:17 of the fourth and ended on downs at Milton’s 17-yard line with 1:02 remained. Max Cartwright had 45 of those yards. What this means: Lehman avoided repeating its 0-2 start, making things a bit easier on themselves. Milton, 1-1, needs to find more consistency on offense after punting nine times. Quote: “There are still some positives. … We don’t think at 1-1 we are looking at a 1-9 season. We’re still a good football. We just have some things we need to work on and hopefully we can be a better football team in Week 3,” said Milton coach Bret Pearce. On deck: Lehman is at Indian Lake next week, while Milton-Union travels to Waynsville.
