College Station dominates in 66-0 win over Lehman
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - The College Station football team bounced back after last week’s rivalry loss in a big way, 66-0 over Kyle Lehman for the Cougars’ homecoming game.
The focus of this game for College Station was Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. Defensive lineman Adam Bolline is battling metastatic melanoma in his neck. To help shine a light on this difficult disease, and to show solidarity with Adam and his family, members of the Cougar football team wore gold tape on their wrists. In a strong show of unity and support, players from the visiting Lehman Lobos also wore gold on their wrists.
