The Lyle/Pacelli football team fell to Houston 41-24 on the road Friday.

The Athletics (1-5 overall, 1-4 SEC) took on a new quarterback in Brady Stier, who ran for 172 yards and two scores, and they jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the first quarter.

“Brady did a good job for it being his first start, he used his fet and he made some things happen,” L/P head coach Mark Buntje said. “This is the best we’ve looked on offense all season.”

Garrett Jenkins had 60 yards of offense and a score for L/P.

“Garret played a great game and he always does a nice job on blocking, so it was nice to get him in the end zone,” Buntje said.

Houston (5-1 overall, 5-0 SEC) was paced by Tye Carrier, who had 152 yards on 10 carries and two scores, while catching four passes for 85 yards and one touchdown.
