Local teams struggle Friday night (slide show)

LAKEWOOD — Down 19-6 at halftime, it seemed the Lakewood football team was done against South Delta, but quarterback Austin Lane gave the Cougars a brief rally in the third quarter. Lane put together a drive that ended in a touchdown but a missed two-point conversion brought the score to 19-12. But Lakewood's defense couldn't stop South Delta from scoring and things became lopsided again for the Cougars when they, in turn, were unable to put up points. The game ended in a 41-26 loss for Lakewood. Lakewood's record is 0-2.
