NORTH AUGUSTA – Two missed points after proved costly as the North Augusta Yellow Jackets lost to the Lexington Wildcats 20-19 Friday in front of the home crowd.
The Wildcats drew first blood with a field goal, but the Jackets stung back with a touchdown in the second quarter, taking the lead of 7-3 into halftime.
The Wildcats would go on to score two more touchdowns and a field goal before the Jackets raged back scoring two touchdowns, but the missed conversions made the difference in the final score.
