Lebanon served up the blueprint for how to respond to a loss.
The Yellowjackets (4-1) lost 48-28 to undefeated Glendale last week, but heavy rains and a drive to Springfield didn’t prevent Lebanon from beating Hillcrest 42-6 Friday night at Shumate Stadium. Lebanon’s response to its first loss sat well with coach Will Christian.
“Glendale was for sure the better team that night. It’s interesting how kids sometimes can respond. You can pout, feel sorry for yourself, point fingers, implode,” Christian said. “Us pulling together, and learning from it and making it a positive and not a negative — I thought our kids grasped ahold of that excellently.
