The game ended by a score of 30-14 and Altoona improved to 2-0 on the year. The 7th grade team plays at home on Roosevelt field next Tuesday at 4 for their first home game of the season. Please come out support these young Mt Lions.
9/12: The Altoona Lady Lions faced off against the Park Forest Little Lions in State College last evening. Both teams donned with maroon and white and dubbed with similar mascot names, there was positively potential for puzzlement on the pitch. At one point it seemed that we were even seeing doppelgängers on the field. The first 27 minutes were pretty evenly matched as neither team was able to take the lead until one of our players absolutely crushed a 40 yarder past the Park Forest keeper at 27’12” giving the Altoona squad a 1-0 lead heading into halftime. As the sun was beginning to descend behind the surrounding trees, the Little Lions emerged from the shadows with a new plan of action. At the 40’ mark the Little Lions tied the game. The Lady Lions kept the pressure on, but Park Forest was able to separate themselves and take the lead at 47’. The game ended with the Park Forest Little Lions taking the victory and leaving the Altoona Lady Lions with a record of 1-1-1. The girls are headed to Bedford this afternoon looking to improve their record against the mismatching Lady Bisons who don blue and white. Good luck, Ladies!
