An overtime thriller capped off just the third state championship season for Lighthouse Christian in 2019.

The Lions enacted their revenge in the 2019 title game against the Carey Panthers, thanks to the second-half heroics of senior quarterback Collin Holloway and a staunch defensive effort by the Lighthouse defense. Carey defeated Lighthouse Christian in the state championship the year prior.

Holloway finished the game throwing 280 yards, including a 69-yard strike to spark a 14-point comeback. And with their backs against their own end zone, the Lions defense forced a fumble on fourth-and-goal, securing a chance to win the game in overtime.

Sixth-year Head Coach Cory Holloway returns many of the key pieces from last year’s undefeated campaign, including his star quarterback. Senior receiver Clay Silva, Holloway’s favorite target in the passing game, returns for his final season, along with senior running back Chance Gaskill.
