The Lamb County Leader-News Football Contest wrapped up its second week this past weekend, with 10 high school games and 10 collegiate football games.
There was an error on the games while being scored. Valley defeated Springlake-Earth, 46-13, according to MaxPreps.com, but when the contest results were originally graded and published in the Wednesday edition of the Leader-News, we had that Springlake-Earth defeated Valley, 69-0, according to Dave Campbell’s Football app.
