The Lansdowne Vikings will square off against the Pikesville Panthers at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Last Thursday, Lansdowne came up short against Loch Raven and fell 22-12. The Vikings haven't had much luck with the Raiders recently, as the team has come up short the last four times they've met.

Don't try to pin the team's loss on the defense: they kept the trenches locked down and allowed a mere 3.2 yards per carry. The team can thank Commodore for the heroic effort on defense: he.
