After a week five loss, Red Bank’s football season was on life support, but the Lions reeled off their third straight win Friday night.
They topped Howard 21-14 to even their record and move headlong into a two-week battle for the District 6-AA championship.
First up, East Hamilton. Then Tyner.
It’s a much more confident Red Bank team that faces those next two games. Winning tough games like Friday’s game at Howard will help, according to Lions coach E.K. Slaughter.
“We didn’t have a real good mental game after that Cleveland loss,” he said. “We were 1-4 and not playing very well. But we’ve come together, fought hard, and now we have a chance to reach our goals.”
