Lindale takes down Kaufman in home playoff game, 52-22

LINDALE – Lindale trailed early but then reeled off 49 consecutive points on the way to a 52-22 win over Kaufman in the bi-district round of the Class 4A Division I football playoffs Friday night at Eagle Stadium. “We established the line of scrimmage,” Lindale head football coach Chris Cochran said. “We’re used to playing these guys, and every time, it’s a physical game. Their O-line and D-line are physical. We knew we were going to have to run the football and stop the run, and we did that. The first series, defensively, we didn’t really well, but after that, we kind of settled in and did a really good job of winning the line of scrimmage and getting tackles for loss. “The special teams played a big role in it. Our kickoff team was awesome. We pinned them deep a good bit, and I think that played a big role in helping our defense.” Kaufman finished with 325 yards, but a big chunk of that came late in the game against the reserves.
