Lions stop Wahawks, clinch playoff spot

Fri - 16 Oct Written by Mike Condon

They haven't always looked pretty and sometimes they've been their own worst enemy.

But the Linn-Mar Lions have been resilient through it all and now the Lions are just 48 minutes away from hosting a first-round playoff game.

Junior Neme Siaway scored a pair of touchdowns and the defense made some key stops as Linn-Mar defeated Waterloo West, 26-13, in a Class 4A District 5 showdown Friday night at Linn-Mar Stadium.

The win moved the Lions to 4-4 overall, 3-1 in district play, clinching a playoff berth for the second straight season. A victory Thursday night against Jefferson at Kingston Stadium would give the Lions a runner-up finish in the district and a home game the following Wednesday against the No. 3 team from a neighboring district.
