LOCKNEY — The Lockney Longhorns had a very successful football season this fall, finishing 7-4 including a seven-game winning streak. The 5-2A-II coaches recognized Lockney’s season by placing five Longhorns on the first team for offense and four on the first team for defense.
Senior running back/linebacker Nathan Ceniceros led the way for the Longhorns by being selected to the first teams on both offense and defense. Junior tight end/defensive end Jonathan Cienfuegos was honored first team as defensive end and second team as receiver.
“I congratulate the Lockney players on a great football season. When you look at the whole body of work, they accomplished a lot. They gave us great effort every game,” said Lockney head coach Cory McCombs.
The Longhorns won seven games in both the 2021 and 2020 seasons, and they also qualified for the playoffs both seasons. Both years, Lockney had strong senior class leadership.
