RIVERDALE — Under head coach Dorwyn Lyles, the Drew Titans have made a name for themselves behind an explosive, exciting style of offensive play.
But in a 23-13 victory over Mount Zion on Friday night at Southern Crescent Stadium, it was Drew’s defense that got the job done. The Titans allowed just 35 yards of total offense in the first half, and intercepted Mount Zion quarterbacks three different times in the victory.
