Class 8A

No. 13 Lyons (8-2) at No. 4 Fremd (9-1)

When: 7:30 p.m. Friday

About the Lions: Lyons won a tight contest with conference rival York for the second straight week – winning the first-round game 24-21 on Ryland Avants’ 31-yard field goal as time expired. The Lions, in the second round for the fourth straight season, now seek their third quarterfinal appearance in four years. Junior EJ Kuhlman has been a workhorse back, averaging 32 carries and 168 yards per game over Lyons’ last four, all wins. The Lions figure to want to ride that ball-control attack to keep Fremd’s high-powered offense off the field. Jack Slightom threw for 166 yards and a TD to Tyler Stamm last week. Anthony Pearson had a key interception in that game.
