LUBBOCK, Texas (BCH Sports) – The Albany Lions are still on track to defending their Class 2A Division II championship after beating Sunray, 34-14, on Thursday night. The Lions and Bobcats combined to score three touchdowns in the first quarter to get things off to a fast start. Adam Hill scored on Albany’s first possession. Sunray followed that with a 60 yard touchdown pass from Armando Lujan to Kagan Davis to take a 7-6 lead. Albany returned the ensuing kickoff to the 40-yard line and that set up a touchdown pass by Chip Chambers.

For lovers of barbecue, Irene's BBQ in Stamford, Texas, is a hidden treasure. The inviting scent of smoked meats permeates the cozy, domestic ambiance of the restaurant.
