Starting against one of two teams with more wins than losses against Ennis, the Battle of 287 was at Lumpkins Stadium. The area's pre-season No. 13 ranked Lions produced four methodical drives to control the game. QB Collin Drake was 15-of-21 for 202, found TE Clayton Jenkins (8-121) a lot and Dyllan Santos for 32 on third-and-20 to move the chains. Two first half marches ended on Davion Beasley (9-51) TD runs of 2 and 16 yards, and workhorse Jarius Jones (17 -101), scored from the four with 7:25 left for a 21-6lead. DE Jarveon Williams was a terror; 16 tackles, 6 for lost yardage (TFL) and two sacks. LB Payton Chapman and DB Stephan Townsend made 14 and 10 tackles.
