The Fredonia Yellowjackets and head coach Lucus Lanning fell in a stout defensive battle to Jayhawk-Linn, 14-6, last Friday.

Fredonia was coming off a 30-8 defeat to Humboldt, but the Yellowjackets’ defense continues to play well, holding the Cubs to a single touchdown in the first half in Week 4 and the Jayhawks scoreless in the second half last week.

Lanning says his team moved the ball well, but penalties and ball security stalled some drives as the Yellowjackets will look to clean up those areas while continuing to build on their strong defensive performances.

Lanning also says his offense is beginning to flow as his players continue to adapt to a new playbook and build better communication.

Fredonia will take on Prairie-View on the road this week, looking for its second win of the year while trying to put a stop to the Buffaloes’ two-game winning streak.
