Lions halt winless streak

COTTAGE GROVE – Cottage Grove High School was on dreadful streak, having lost 29 of its last 30 football games – including the last 17 in a row.

New Lions head coach Steve Turner sensed that his team was getting better, that a breakthrough might be on the horizon.  

That big breakthrough almost turned into heartbreak Friday night, then the Lions rallied late in the fourth quarter to emerge with a hard-fought 14-12 victory.
