Commerce answered with 2:19 to play in the third as Layden Bryson called his own number for a 24-yard rushing score to make the score 14-6, but the Lions answered on the first play of the fourth quarter to push the lead back out to 14 points.
A Tiger safety with 6:47 to go brought Commerce closer, but Luella iced the game with a 2-yard score with 2:12 to play.
