Due up first was a true challenge against Brownsville Veterans Memorial. The Chargers out of 32-6A were looking for their first win since December 20. The Lions however had a different plan in mind. The Lions and Chargers clashed in a close battle. Despite a tough offense by the Chargers, La Feria who was consistent with the scoring, combined with good defense, sealed the win 49-40.
Aiming to keep the winning ways going, the Lions then took on Harvest Christian Academy. Another close battle for the Lions, the Eagles gave the Lions a challenge. Once again, great defense came through, along with solid defense allowed the Lions to pick up the win 65-48.
