After starting their season with two straight games on the road, Lyford is finally coming home.

Porter took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Lyford, who comes in off a win.

Lyford can attribute much of their success to Adrian Chavez, who rushed for 106 yards on only 15 carries, and also threw for 46 yards and a touchdown. With that strong performance, Chavez is now averaging an impressive 100.5 rushing yards per game. Backing up that air attack was Pedro Rosas, who rushed for 85 yards.
