La Grange and Smithville have played one another in football almost every year for the past century. But rarely in this historic rivalry of Highway 71 neighbors have points been so hard to come by.

The win snapped a fourgame losing streak for the Tigers, while the Leps now face an uphill battle to get back in the playoff race. “This was all about perseverance,” said Smithville head coach Cyril Adkins. “These kids deserve to win, but I tell them all the time just because you think you deserve something, nobody’s just going to give it to you.” Neither defense was giving away much of anything Friday.
