LAUREL - Laurel-Concord-Coleridge dropped its fourth game in five starts this fall with a 55-34 loss to Plainview Friday.

In fact, Laurel-Concord-Coleridge out scored Plainview 34-21 in the second half.
After the Pirates sprinted to the first-half lead, the Bears got busy trying to get back in the game.
Caleb Erwin hauled in a 20-yard pass from Connor Korth to make it 34-6 in the third quarter then Korth ran it in from 17 yards out to make it 34-12.
Plainview answered with a couple of scoring runs, but LCC got right back to work and by the end of the third, Erwin and Korth hooked up again, this time from 40 yards out and the teams went to the final 12 minutes with the Pirates up, 48-18.
Korth took it in from the eight to open the fourth then ran in the twopoint try to make it 48-26.
Korth then tossed his third touchdown pass of the evening to Ryder Jelinek, who scored from the 18 and after an Eli Haisch conversion run, the Bears had crawled back to within 14, 48-34.
