Lions bring home ‘gold’ for Albany
By Donnie L. Lucas
The Albany community received an early Christmas present last week in the form of a state championship football title for Class 2A Div. 2, thanks to the Albany Lions.
While the honor was earned by the team and the coaching staff, it will be enjoyed by the entire community, joining two other such pinnacles of sports excellence – the 1960 and 1961 state titles.
The slogan for the team this season was “Be Remembered.”
The Albany community embraced the team and their quest to make it all the way to the big game and bring home the gold.
