Red Bank might have clinched the Region 3-3A title after last week’s win over Brainerd, but the Lions still have one regular-season goal to chase before heading into the playoffs.
Perfection.
The host Lions remained undefeated at home Friday night, amassing 464 yards of offense on their way to a dominating 42-7 nonregion win over Region 4-5A member Lenoir City. Senior Calvin Jackson had three touchdowns and 213 total yards from scrimmage.
“Our kids just love playing football,” Lions coach Chris Brown said. “Every Friday night everyone else gets to see what I see every day. Chasing the championship and being able to say ‘undefeated regular season,’ those things matter to us.”
Red Bank (8-0) was a well-oiled machine on offense – particularly through the air, where junior Madox Wilkey threw for four touchdowns on 22-of-28 passing for 322 yards. Jackson had 10 catches for 147 yards, while Lucas Brown caught seven passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns.
