As the first half of the season has come to a close, the La Feria Lions have had a roller coaster of a season so far. Sitting at 3-3 on the season, here’s a look at what has transpired so far.
After the week one 42-21 loss to Donna, the La Feria Lions Bounced back and returned to their winning ways. The Lions defeated PSJA Southwest 27-25 in a week two thriller that came down to the wire. Brownsville Pace was then up next for the Lions. What started off as a close game ended with the Lion offense and defense exploding in the second half.

Heading into District 16-4A DI play, the Lions opened up district with a home game against Alice. The offense and defense lit the charts up for the Coyotes, blanking the Lions 73-13 in La Feria’s second loss of the season. Looking to bounce back in week 6, La Feria traveled up the Coastal bend to take on the Tuloso-Midway Warriors.
