Lawrence Lions football defense steadies for title run
Lawrence Highs defense narrowed its 1994 weaknesses by limiting opponents to 104.1 rushing yards and 9.6 points per game through 11 contests. Led by linebackers Kilpatrick Nelson Bremer and lineman Myers, the unit tightened after key injuries and has crafted a stingy, team-focused stop unit ahead of the 1995 Class 6A final against 11 0 Derby at Memorial Stadium.
