St. Pius X - The Golden Lions defeated the Lithonia Bulldogs 49-14 Friday night in the last scheduled home game of the regular season.

Senior Archer Love intercepted a Jamon Coggins pass in the first quarter, which led to a Cayden DeBose 25 yard touchdown run. The next drive saw Edward Van Nort recover a Coggins fumble and the Golden Lions cashed that in for a Teddy Weick 1 yard touchdown run. The remainder of the first half was all Golden Lions, as Senior Colin Crosby scored on a 12 yard and 5 yard run to give Pius the 28-0 halftime lead.

The second half was also dominated by the Golden Lions. Carter Kandilakis scored on a 1 yard run, and then Dexter Mosley broke free for a 41 yard score. Lithonia finally found the endzone in the 4th quarter, scoring on a Albert Gooding 2 yard run and  Dean Davis 93 yard kickoff return. Aidan Brown finished the Pius scoring with a 1 yard touchdown run in the 4th quarter.

St. Pius X had 348 yards of total offense. 288 of those yards came on the ground, led by Aldan Brown's 66 yards. QB Colin Crosby was 5-6 in the air for 60 yards.
