The Albany Lions stepped up to meet the challenge Friday, Sept. 8 in defeating the Seymour Panthers 41-14 at Robert Nail Memorial Stadium.
The Lions (3-0) visit the Hawley Bearcats at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15 in a highly anticipated matchup of reigning state champions at Forrest Field.
Against Seymour, Albany employed an overwhelming rushing attack and stifling defense to turn a close game into a comfortable victory. Seymour was down six midway through the third quarter, but the Lions scored on their next three possessions to pull away.
