The Lindbergh Eagles football team picked up its first loss of the season on Friday, falling to Cascade Christian 35-21 at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Lindbergh scored first, when Anthony Walker ran it 58-yards to paydirt in the first quarter and helping the Eagles take a 7-0 lead into the second.

But Cascade turned it on in the second, scoring three times in a row on runs of 20, 48 and 3 yards to go up 21-7. Lindbergh responded before the half, however, with DeMarco Sauls running it in for a 6-yard touchdown of his own and making it 21-15 as the teams headed to the break.

In the third quarter, Cascade extended their lead on a 1-yard touchdown run and the teams entered the final frame with Cascade up 28-14.

A 41-yard touchdown run made it 35-14, but Lindbergh refused to roll over, scoring on a 21-yard pass play to make it 35-21, but time ran out for the Eagles.

With the loss, Lindbergh falls to 3-1 on the year and 1-0 in the Seamount. The Eagles take on the undefeated Kennedy Catholic lancers on Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.
