After some red-hot attacks on offense in their last four games, Kerman finally came back down to earth on Friday. They fell just short of the Kingsburg Vikings by a score of 10-7. Despite 126 more yards than the Vikings, the Lions couldn't convert that extra yardage to scores.
When it comes to explaining why Kerman lost, don't look at Jorge Antunez. Despite the final result, he rushed for 89 yards and one score on only six carries, and also picked up 60 receiving yards. The Lions also got help from Nate Myers, who showed off his sure hands for 100 receiving yards.
Don't try to pin the team's loss on the defense: they kept the trenches locked down and allowed a mere 2.8 yards per carry. The team can thank Seth Myers for the heroic effort on defense: he. Kerman didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 8.3.
