Wednesday's Augusta Chronicle's front page of the sports section features what had to be an exciting performance by the 2018-19 Lions, which handed Fox Creek its first loss by outscoring the Predators 42-29 in the second half. Star senior Nate Dunlop, who scored 30 points in the win, credited his teammates, an impressive group of active guards, for turning up the defensive pressure in the game.
