JV FOOTBALL

Louisville 35, Marlington 8

The Leopards removed all doubt when Duckworth threw his third touchdown of the game, this time to Andy Minster.  With 2:26 remaining in the third quarter, Louisville lead 28-0.

In the fourth quarter, Garrett Robbins took over at quarterback and produce similiar results finding Zach Sims for a touchdown with around five minutes to go in the game.

Louisville’s defense was solid shutting out the Dukes for all but 21 seconds of the contest.  The Leopards rolled to a 35-8 win improving to 2-2 on the season.

UP NEXT: The JV squad will next host the Minerva Lions on Saturday, September 24 at 10:00 AM.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL

Louisville 15, Marlington 14

Just nine days after the Louisville Leopards boys freshman football team beat Marlington 47-20 at Louisville Leopards stadium, they hung on to defeat the Dukes again this time by the slimmest of margins 15-14.

A Louisville error actually helped them win the game, as a bad snap on an extra point didn’t allow a kick attempt and the Leps ran it in for a two point conversion to take a 15-14 third quarter lead.  The defense took care of the rest as the freshman football team improved to 2-2 on the year.

UP NEXT: The freshman squad will host the Minerva Lions on Thursday, September 22 at 5:00 PM.
