Friday night (November 3) the Greenville Lions come to town for a 7:30 p.m. district game with playoff implications for both teams. It is also Senior Night at Gerald Prim Stadium.
The Lions are having one of their best seasons in years. They are 2-2 in district play and 5-3 overall this year. The Wildcats are 1-3 in district play and 3-5 for the season. To help solidify their playoff situation, the Lions need a victory Friday. To stay in contention for a playoff spot, the Wildcats need to not only win but they need to defeat Greenville by 8 points or more.
