Final

Congratulations to Braylin De Jager for being selected the Lincoln player of the game

In the 72nd Annual Battle for the Bluffs, the Lynx dominated 35-2 for a impressive victory

These two put on quite the performance in this one and the De Jager boys find each other for the score.

The De Jager boys find each other in this game pretty frequently, and here is the first of many from Hudsyn to Braylin

Van Flynn goes right through to line to find the opposing running back waiting with the ball. Flynn counts this as a TFL and backs up the opponent.

The video speaks for itself, Levi Nelson keeps moving with some assistance from his O-Line to find the Endzone

A nice little flick of the wrist for Hudsyn De Jager as he throws this one right past all of the defenders right in the breadbasket to Paben Craig.

Nick Duncan intercepts the TJ QB after AL had just turned the ball over themselves and even gets a few return yards to set them up nicely in enemy territory.

Final

Early in this one the Lynx drove down the field to try and get on the board first. This pass by Lee to Braylin De Jager was critical as this put the Lynx in the Redzone and game them a first down eventually leading to the games first touchdown

Denison trailed 20-13 in OT with a 4th down from the 15 and could get the ball to the end zone to keep this game going as the pass was batted down by Hudson Etherington to clinch this one for the Lynx

The Lynx were up 7-0, and looking to go up by 2 scores, and Briggs Smothers delivered a 23 yard field goal to do just that.

With only 2 seconds remaining in the game & down 3 Denison called a timeout to try and Ice Briggs Smothers, but Smothers nailed a 31 yard field goal to tie the game & send his team to overtime, where they would eventually win by the score of 20-13.

Hudsyn De Jager gets this one in and gives the Lynx the score they needed to secure the Victory in overtime!

Quarterback, Chris Lee takes this ball into the end zone for a hard fought QB keeper to give the Lynx the lead early in the game 6-0!

With a close game on the line, everything matters, and a botched snap was the perfect opportunity to shift gears when Adam Livingston took this ball away!
