Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:40:13 GMT

Lakeville South found a way Friday night.Trailing for large chunks of the contest and easily downed in time of possession, the Cougars simply made all the big plays when they were required.Down 21-14 late, the Cougars marched down the field for a game-tying touchdown drive, capped by a 14-yard run from Bo Bokman. The drive featured a 16-yard completion on 4th and 12 from Gaven Dean to Bokman to keep the Cougars’ hopes alive.

Lakeville South cashed in with a 31-yard field goal off the foot of Jack Kimmel as the clock hit zero to win 24-21 and improve to 3-0 on the season.The Panthers dominated the line of scrimmage from the game’s outset, particularly offensively, as three hard runs often resulted in first downs. Still, that clear advantage w...
