Brandon Watson rushed for two touchdowns and had 100 yards for the day.

The Lions’ defense held the Eagles scoreless. There were three quarterback sacks, one by TJ Riley and two by Justin Kelly. Brandon Reece had a great day with five tackles, while Dennis Williamson and Rashad Yarborough each had four.

The season so far has been an easy one, however the Lions are about to have their biggest challenge this year. They will travel Saturday to Dover High School in Dover, Del. to play the Sussex County Punishers, who are also undefeated and have not been scored upon this year at all.

The Lions will also host the Punishers at home, Chaney Field on Sub-Station Road in Waldorf at 2 p.m. April 5. On the Minor League Football News Web site, the Lions ranked 19th out of the top 50 teams, while the Punishers are seventh. Both of these games are sure to be nail biters.

The Charles County Lions will be having a food drive during its next two home games. Bring canned goods to the Lion Pride stand at the game. These will be donated to the WM Lord Led Ministry which feeds up to 40 Charles County families each week.
