COLONY — The Crest Lancers football team fought but ultimately came up short against Chase County on Thursday night, 70-54.
The Lancers went down big early, at one point by as much as a 22-6 deficit. But by halftime they were able to knot the score.
“Last year, in situations like that we would have packed it in,” said Crest head coach Nick McAnulty. “To see them fight like that is just awesome. Chase County is one of the best teams in Division I, a class bigger than us. So to see us step up and fight against one of those teams is just awesome. This is a playoff game in week two, so it was a great challenge for us.”
