Red Dragons down Howland Tigers 28-6

HOWLAND Niles football coach Jim Parry has carried a bad taste in his mouth dating back nearly 30 years to his senior season when the Red Dragons fell to Howland. He’s got a new taste following the Red Dragons’ 28-6 victory over the Tigers. “Howland is the biggest game on our schedule,” Parry said. “Given that we were both 1-6 coming in, that’s easy to say. Year in and year out, we want to win this game. I’ve got a bad taste for 29 years. We lost to Howland my senior year. This helps soften the blow.”
