And for the fourth consecutive time, it was the Lima Senior players that were celebrating after defeating Celina 14-10 at Celina Stadium on Friday night.
MARIA STEIN - The Marion Local Flyers jumped on the Elida Bulldogs with both feet early in Friday's football lidlifter, and the visitors never got a chance to catch their breath the rest of the way.
