PRICEDALE – Senior running back Lakedric Lee provided a offensive show for North Pike’s homecoming night scoring five touchdowns to jolt the Jaguars over the Wesson Cobras 49-12 Friday night in football action.

” We moved the ball effectively on offense, but killed ourselves with seven fumbles (6 lost), penalties and dropped passes,” said Wesson coach Ronald Greer. “We have to be able to finish drives on scoring opportunities.

This game may be the worst attempt at playing defense that I have ever witnessed.” continued Greer, “Our guys must play with more toughness, aggression and burning desire to make tackles if we are going to improve on defense. We gave up to many big plays again. North Pike had four touchdown runs of 40-plus yards.

We will continue to work on the things that we hope will make us tougher and more aggressive,” stated Greer. “Without those things it is impossible to play the game of football with any measure of success. ”
