LETTS, Iowa – Down 15 points going into the fourth quarter, Louisa-Muscatine’s football team mounted a furious comeback to defeat rival Columbus Community, 36-35, Friday night.

Madison Chandler scored a touchdown with 55 seconds left and Brode Hills scored the two-point conversion as the Falcons pulled out the victory.

“They believed and played hard,” L-M coach Guy Dierikx said of his team. “This was a great victory for us and our program. Ultimately, it will help establish our program. The guys did a good job. This was the first win ever for our senior class over Columbus.”

It snapped a 13 game losing streak in district play for L-M. The Falcons’ last district win was a 24-14 victory over Durant on Sept. 28, 2007.
