Junior Lyndon Strickland had a breakout night on defense. He led the Cougars with 10 tackles including 1.5 tackles for loss. One of his stops was crucial keeping a Watauga ball carrier from getting out of bounds and stopping the clock as the Pioneers were trying to drive for a game winning score. Strickland batted down two Watauga pass attempts as well .
