Traveling south to Reform on Friday night the Lions visited the Pickens County Tornadoes. Following the coin toss, Hutch Miles' opening kick was recovered by Damian Giles at the 48-yard line. The Lions defense stood strong on the opening possession with Cruz Kizzire sacking Jacobe Plott on first down for a 4-yard loss. Four plays later, facing fourth and 16 from the 36-yard line, William Latham's punt rolled dead at the 32-yard line.
Blaize Wakefield and his offensive front wasted little time in taking the ball to the end zone. A pass connection with Kane Rushing followed by a hand-off up the middle by Gavin Hubbert moved the ball across midfield to the 47-yard line.
