LAMPASAS – The Brownwood Lions opened the Lampasas portion of the Burnet 7-on-7 Division II state qualifier Saturday with a shutout victory, but as the weather conditions deteriorated so did the Lions’ hopes of advancing out of pool play.
After a 26-0 win over Lake Belton, the Lions dropped a 20-19 decision to Lampasas followed by a 27-6 defeat at the hands of District 5-4A Division I rival Midlothian Heritage. As Saturday’s schedule progressed, a steady rain gradually developed into a torrential downpour as Brownwood finished with a 1-2 record for the second consecutive weekend.
