The Lancers will host the Lions at 4:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Neshannock has 36 straight wins, New Brighton has nine straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.

The Lancers never let Riverside get on the board and left with a 16-0 victory on Friday.
