GOODWELL, Okla. -   The Oklahoma Panhandle State University football team lowered the curtain on the 2019 season, suffering a heart-breaking, 27-21, setback at the hands of Lyon College before 1,763 at Anchor D Stadium. The Aggies closed the books on the campaign with an overall record of 3-7 and 3-5 in the Sooner Athletic Conference.
 
The Aggies had control of matters against the SAC's third place team early on in the bout. On its third possession of the game, needed just five plays to go the 72 yards for the score. Quarterback Tony Brown carried three times on the series, including a 46-yard scamper through the Scots' secondary for his ninth rushing TD of the year. Luis Rivas' extra point kick made it 7-0 with 5:12 remaining.
 
The Aggies held that advantage the duration of the first quarter and well into the second before Lyon was able to knot the contest at 7-7 with a score of its own with 4:40 left until halftime. But Panhandle was not through in the quarter.
 
After a punt by OPSU in its own half of the field, the Scots muffed the return attempts with Triston Inman recovering at the OPSU 38 to give Panhandle new life. On the very next play, Brown found Chris Daley on a 62-yard catch-and-run to put the Aggies up 14-7, as it stood until the intermission.
 
Opening the third stanza, Lyon would score 10 unanswered points on Randy Satterfield's second touchdown catch of the day, as well as a field goal with 5:03 remaining in the third.
 
But Panhandle answered on its ensuing drive.
 
Beginning at their own 30, the Aggies drove into Scots territory and, on a third-and-11, Brown zipped a 29-yard aerial toward Seth Barbarino. Barbarino went up between a pair of LC defenders and came down with the ball in the end zone, putting Panhandle up 21-17 after the point after touchdown kick by Rivas.
 
Lyon College would add another 10 points in the fourth quarter, while keeping the Aggies at bay in the final period.
 
Brown would finish the day with 159 rushing yards on 22 carries. Brown also completed 4-of-12 passes for 99 yards and two TDs.
 
On defense, Diamante Pounds led all Aggies with nine tackles, six solo. Teammate D'Quan Charles had eight tackles, as well.
