After falling behind big in the first half of Thursday night’s game, the Renton Indians football team rallied to make a game out of it, but fell short in the fourth quarter, losing 38-24 to Lakeside in a non-conference matchup at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Lakeside opened up with a 2-yard run and a 27-yard field goal in the first to take a 10-0 lead and then tacked on two touchdown passes to make it 24-0 at halftime.

But the Indians rallied back with Brian Phillips scoring on a 5-yard touchdown run.

Lakeside then picked up another touchdown on a 6-yard pass, but running back Ernie Davis answered with a 61-yard run of his own for touchdown to make it 31-14 headed to the final quarter.

In the fourth, Zach Hasson kicked a 37-yard field goal and Juwuan Phomprida-Ribinson caught a 28-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Elijah Clayton to make it a one-touchdown game.

But that would be as close as the Indians would get, as Lakeside answered with an 18-yard touchdown run of their own to win the game 38-24.

Renton (2-2) next take on Highline Thursday at Renton Memorial Stadium.
