The Lamar County defense suffered a complete collapse with four minutes left in the game and surrendered the Region 4AA title to the Macon County Bulldogs Friday night at Trojan Field.
After Dawson Davis tied the game with a clutch FG late, LC dropped an easy interception and the Dogs never looked back, tacking on two more TDs.
LC finishes #2 in the region and will host a playoff game next Friday.
