Howard Lions Ready for Football Playoffs Against Perry Hall Gators

The Howard Lions will take on the Perry Hall Gators Friday night, in a rematch from last year’s 4A north regional semifinals.

In last year’s playoffs, the Gators eliminated the Lions from the playoffs, beating them 28-15.

So far this season, the Lions are undefeated, with a 10-0 record. The Gators come into the playoffs at 7-3, according to the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association standings.

On top of the desire to make a comeback after last year’s loss, Lions defensive end Winston DeLattiboudere, a senior, told The Washington Post that he “might be bringing more pain” than usual since he had a few days off the field due to pneumonia.

The 4A north regional semifinal game will be at 7 p.m. at Howard High School, 8700 Old Annapolis Road, in Ellicott City. Admission is $6 for those 7 years old and up, according to Howard High School Athletics.
