Three areas of the Lions team in particular stand out to Orab Head Coach Tyler Lloyd.
For Lloyd the keys to the game come together this way.
Head Coach Curtis Eben and his Lion squad are not taking the Sheldon offense lightly.
For the Lions a big key will be recognition on defense.
Eric Maassen joins LA for the broadcast this week on FM 100.7 and AM 1550.
The Nighthawks close the year at home against Sioux Center. BHRV is 3-1 in the district and 3-5 on the season. The Warriors are 3-1 in the district as well and 5-3 for the year following last Friday’s overtime loss in Sioux Center.
Nighthawk Head Coach Cory Brandt describes the Warriors this way.
A big key to a win will be how the Nighthawks can matchup early.
Sioux Center Head Coach Tim Van Regenmorter is impressed with the Nighthawks passing game.
With that thought in mind pass defense will be key.
