Angels Camp — The Linden Lions scored touchdowns on each of their first 4 possessions of the game and never looked back en route to a 40-6 victory on Friday vs. the Bret Harte Bullfrogs at Dorroh Field. In total, the Lions scored on 6 of their 7 possessions; the only time Linden was held scoreless was the final possession of the first half, when the Lions had the ball inside the Bret Harte 20-yard line as time expired.
The Lions, who improved to 4-2 overall and 2-0 in Mother Lode League play, held Bret Harte to a total of 16 total yards in the first half, while racking up 289 total yards of their own during the first half. The lone Bullfrog score came in the fourth quarter when quarterback Jeshua Wahlman found James Ortega for a 33-yard touchdown strike on the final play of the game. Declan Neeedham, Marcus Kelley and Matthew Valente had solid defensive performances, making several tackles for the Bullfrogs.
