Leroy will take on Luverne in each of the teams' third playoff contest at 7:00 PM on Friday. Each of these teams will be battling to keep their five-game winning streak alive.
Leroy weren't the first ones on the board last week, but they got there more often. They dodged a bullet, finishing off Daleville 27-26. Leroy found their leader in underclassman sophomore Kelston Fikes, who punched in 3 rushing TDs and caught 6 passes for 111 yards. Fikes has now scored at least one touchdown in the past four games.
Meanwhile, Luverne earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last Friday. They blew past Abbeville 41-20. Luverne were expected to win, but the margin was definitely larger than the state rankings had forecast.
Leroy didn't have too much trouble with Luverne when the two teams last met as they won 38-20. Leroy's victory shoved Luverne out of the playoffs, so expect the team to have a target on their back in this one.
