Mead Panthers Learn Through Tough Loss | Spokane News

Mead Panthers fell short in a gritty, high-stakes showdown against the Chiawana Riverhawks, losing 20-14 in a nonleague clash that tested both teams’ mettle. Despite a costly fourth-down gamble by Coach Kyle Snell and a late-game deficit, Mead rallied with a jaw-dropping 93-yard touchdown pass from Evan Drew to Lee Colomb, cutting the lead to just seven with under seven minutes left. Though Chiawana held on, the experience was invaluable—Snell intentionally scheduled this game to prep his squad for brutal league play ahead. He praised his team’s resilience and sees the loss as a crucial stepping stone toward long-term success, setting their sights on Central Valley next Friday.
