We’ve got to play through that, regardless of whatever it might be.”Before losing focus in the final stanza, Lincoln Prep put up a fight, trading blows with the Tigers for the first three quarters of the contest.Jonesboro-Hodge struck first, taking advantage of a blown coverage with Campbell hitting a wide-open Jamarlon Johnson to go on top 6-0 at the 8:57 mark of the first quarter.Lincoln Prep countered with a 50-yard scoring drive, with Levingston firing a screen pass that Aiden Ferguson hauled in and took 32 yards to paydirt to tie things up at 6-6 with 6:21 left on the opening-quarter clock.A little more than three minutes later, the Tigers punched back, scoring on a short touchdown run and adding a two-point conversion that pushed Jonesboro-Hodge’s lead to 14-6.But Lincoln Prep again quickly countered with Levingston hitting Josiah Spann on a 58-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 14-14 with 50 seconds left in the first quarter.The score remained knotted at 14-14 at halftime before the Panthers battled back with a slow and solid 50-yard drive culminating with Levingston’s 1-yard touchdown run that put Lincoln Prep on top 20-14.This time it was Jonesboro-Hodge’s turn to counter, with the Tigers mounting a 56-yard drive ending with a 4-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 20-20 with 4:36 left in the third quarter.Penalties became problematic for the Panthers at various points of the game, something Davison wants to see his team improve on.“We were just trying to keep (Jonesboro-Hodge) off of us,” Davison said. “I thought we were doing a pretty good job of it but it got away from us. We’ve got to practice a full week. We can’t let anything distract us. We’ve got to come out here and play a full game. We didn’t play a full game. We didn’t coach a full game. We’ve got to put together a full week and full game.”</div></body>
