Lakeland (5-1, 4-1) at Grassfield (6-0, 5-0) – 7 p.m.

Last season – Grassfield 38, Lakeland 14

The Cavaliers returned from a brief break in routing opponents with a 53-3 triumph over visiting King’s Fork Friday and moved up a spot, to No. 2, in the Division 5 regional power ratings.

The Grizzlies, who along with Oscar Smith are the last unbeaten teams in Southeastern play, are No. 3 in the Div. 6 ratings. Grassfield won 35-21 at Western Branch on Friday.

The Grizzlies held foes to 13 points or less in their previous five wins. Grassfield’s racked up 11 interceptions this season.

When Grassfield has the ball it’ll be a contrast in styles. The Grizzlies rushed for 236 yards against Western Branch and 300 yards two weeks earlier in a win over Indian River. Meanwhile, Grassfield hasn’t topped 100 passing yards in a game this season.

Freshman junior varsity call-up Miles Goodman made a memorable debut as the third Cavalier quarterback this season. Goodman went 9-for-11 passing for 159 yards, two passing TDs and two rushing TDs in the 53-3 win.

Goodman’s introduction allowed Raekwon Johnson to return full-time, almost, to his running back spot where he rolled for 186 yards and two TDs against King’s Fork.

GB senior Adriell Mayes rushed for 223 yards and four touchdowns, plus returned a fumble for a 70-yard touchdown as a linebacker, in the Wildcat win.

Great Bridge has won four straight since starting the season 0-2.

Stevon Simms made it back-to-back games with a kickoff return for a touchdown, returning the opening kick 95 yards to put the Warriors ahead against Indian River.

Last season – Hickory 49, King’s Fork 12

Hickory’s trying to rebound from losing to the last two undefeated teams in the district back-to-back, 21-0 to Grassfield and 48-7 to Oscar Smith.

The Hawks moved the ball well against Oscar Smith, gaining 16 first downs. Three turnovers and having little way to stop Oscar Smith’s passing, as the Tigers threw for 287 yards and five touchdowns, added up to a blowout.

Hickory running back Terrance Gray rushed for 236 yards combined in the last two Hawk wins, versus Deep Creek and Western Branch.
