Leavenworth ? The Lawrence High soccer team struck first Tuesday – against itself.

An own-goal put the Lions in an early hole, and they never recovered in a 3-1 loss to Leavenworth.

“We had our chances,” coach Bill Kelly said. “We just couldn’t do it.”

Wade Billings scored LHS’s lone goal on an assist from Andy Urban.

LHS (3-7-1) will play host to Olathe South on Thursday.
