Legacy Loses to McKinney In Season Opener

The varsity football squad took to the field for the home opener of the season against McKinney. In the previous two years the Lions had won one game making them the underdog.The night had many highlights coming from both sides, including three touchdowns from wide receiver Marchie Murdock. He scored three touchdowns over the course of the night. One touchdown, Murdock jumped over a player and caught the ball in the back back left corner of the endzone for a touchdown.

“[Scoring] feels good,” Murdock said. “We have plenty more games to go and what matters is to get ready for district.”

Despite the receiving touchdowns from Murdock, and the running touchdowns from K.J. Amous the Broncos ended up being trumped by McKinney with a score of 55-46.

“We didn’t do as well as I thought,” Coach Chris Melson said. “I thought we’d beat McKinney, but I know this: our football team is very inexperienced, very young and it showed. But what also showed is their heart. At halftime I challenged these kids to come out and play like men, and they did.”

About the Contributors

Nick Gross, Sports Editor

Hi, my name is Nick Gross. I am the Sports Editor this year. I love sports. My favorite sport has got to be baseball. My favorite team of course is the Rangers. I work for them as a parking attendant. Other than that, I love country music and I always wear boots around. Newspaper is always fun, and I enjoy it everyday. All the staff writers are hilarious, and the editors are all nice. Just kidding. The only people I like in here are my sports writers. Seriously. Everyone else hates us. I also like the LBTV folks. They're pretty cool as well. I am also on the field during games being the cute face on camera— I'm the only one with a face good enough. Thanks for taking time reading this, and follow me on twitter @nickggross [email protected]

Caleb Jones, LBTV Staff

Hey guys. My name is Caleb Jones. I am in the LBTV staff this year. I do too many extracurricular activities and am always busy. I am the Senior Class President, captain of Bronco Brigade, member of Spanish Culture Club and do journalism on top of all of those. I am an Eagle Scout, lover of the Spanish language and techno guru. I love my job at Mansfield Paintball where I do media management. I want to go to a school in California, called Chapman University, to study film production, specifically post-production and editing. This is my first year that I’ve officially been the LBTV Director, but I pretty much was last year too because @ZachHutchison1 never did his job. * drops mic * [email protected]
