Preview: West Plains vs. Festus
If the MaxPreps state rankings hold true, the near future looks bright for West Plains. Festus will go up against West Plains in continuing playoff action. West Plains know how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past 11 matchups -- so hopefully Festus like a good challenge.
West Plains might be getting used to good results now that the squad has 11 wins in a row. Everything came up roses for them against Sikeston last week as the squad secured a 43-0 win. No one put up better numbers for West Plains than junior Brayden Lidgard, who brought his A game into the match. He rushed for 168 yards and 3 touchdowns on 27 carries. This marked the 11th matchup in which Lidgard has rushed for over 100 yards.
Meanwhile, Festus earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last Friday. They were able to grind out a solid victory over Farmington, winning 28-21. The success made it back-to-back wins for Festus.
Their wins bumped West Plains to 11-0 and Festus to 7-4. Festus's offensive line will need to gear up for a tough test against a West Plains defensive front that amassed four sacks against Sikeston, so we'll see if they are up to the task.
