The United Lions fell to the Northern Cambria Colts 43-0 in week one of this 2019 season. With Northern Cambria’s #4 Owen Prasko leading the field with three out of seven touchdowns and 155 yards rushing.

After a successful 2018 season, United lost 17 players. Although the Lion’s roster is small, it does hold some experienced players, some of whom are adjusting to new positions.

United’s line was put to the test last night with only one returning senior with starting experience, Jakob Dixon. “We have to improve on some things upfront. We’ll get that. They brought more pressure than we could handle” said Head Coach Kevin Marabito. “We’re going to get better. Our kids are working hard and that’s all we can ask for.”

Sam Shutty’s Colts scored two touchdowns in three out of four quarters. Northern Cambria was on offence most of the evening. Pleased with the outcome of the game, Coach Shutty stated, “Our key players and guys we thought were going to make plays did, and that’s the guys we relied on. I thought our line did a great job and that’s the strength of our team.”

Marabito concluded with “You can’t worry about game one, you got a lot more to go.”

The United Lions play Blairsville next week at Thomas J. Madill Field.

The Northern Cambria Colts play Saltsburg next week at Trojan Stadium.
