The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. This Friday Mangham takes on Lake Arthur in the first playoff game of the year. Each team is hoping that this match will help them forget substantial defeats in their prior games.
Mangham wasn't able to get on the board against Varnado last game. The team fell 22 - 0.
Meanwhile, the MaxPreps state rankings speculated that Lake Arthur might be blown out last week, and the rankings were right on the money. It simply didn't have it last week, losing 55 - 7 to Notre Dame. Things were already looking bleak at the break as Lake Arthur was down 35 - 0.
After their losses, Lake Arthur dropped to 5-5 and Mangham dropped to 7-3. Neither Mangham nor Lake Arthur were very aggressive on the offensive side of the ball last game, so it might be up to the defense to decide this one.
