This past week, the Juggernauts suffered their first loss of the season after beginning the season a tremendous 4-0. The strong Lloyd team knocked off Gallatin County to push their winning streak to four on homecoming night before suffering their first loss of the season to an always strong Newport Central Catholic team.
The Lloyd team had an extremely strong showing against a large Gallatin County team, winning with a final score of 44-12. The Juggernauts were on a role offensively, giving the ball out to all its playmakers and pumping out big play after big play. Senior Hayden Molitor and Sophomore Lashunn Townsend each had long touchdowns in the first quarter, along with Sophomore running back Justin Durham pounding in one from close after another long run by Townsend. Junior wide receiver Charles Gaines had over 80 yards receiving, helping move the Juggernauts down the field through the air. History was also made this night in the kicking game when Senior kicker Sergio Gutierrez beat the field goal record by hammering in a staggering 49 yarder.
The next week verse Newcath did not quite go as planned for the Juggs. Despite great plays by some Lloyd playmakers, such as receivers Charles Gaines and Zack Riddle, mental mistakes killed Lloyd, with the game ending in a deceiving score of 28-0. The game was highly contested compared to past years and was a tough game for both teams.
Despite this loss the Juggs are still sitting at an outstanding 4-1 record. The team propelled by this loss and is eager to show what it can do in the remaining district matchups against Newport, Bishop Brossart, and Holy Cross, who they play this Friday for senior night. Come out and support Lloyd in this always entertaining game. GO JUGGS!!
