Meanwhile, New Deal fell victim to Lubbock Christian and their airtight defense last Friday. They took a blow against the Eagles, falling 43-0. Having soared to a lofty 41 points in the game before, the Lions' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.
Even if they lost, New Deal's defensive line still kept up the pressure with four sacks. Dalton Martin was especially locked on to Lubbock Christian's QB and sacked him twice. Martin is also crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least nine every time he's taken the field this season.

Here's a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Friday's game: Post has been on an offensive roll this season, having averaged 352.2 total yards per game. It's a different story for New Deal, though, as they've been averaging only 197.8 total yards. Will Post be able to march up the field at their leisure again, or will the Lions flip the script?
Everything came up roses for Post against New Deal when the teams last played back in October of 2024, as the squad secured a 61-20 victory. Do the Antelopes have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Lions turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
