District 6 Game of the Week

Lakeland at Hillcrest, Friday, 7 p.m.

IDAHO FALLS – Defending state champion Hillcrest looks to take another step in its playoff run as No. 9 Lakeland visits for a quarterfinal matchup.

The top-seeded Knights (9-1) come off a 40-15 win over conference foe Shelley, while Lakeland went to overtime to down its own conference foe Lewiston, 28-27, in last week’s playoff opener.

Some key storylines:

-Lakeland (9-1) has the best scoring defense in 5A, surrendering just 11.80 points per game.

Hillcrest averages nearly 41 points, so it’s easy to see where the game will be won or lost.

Can Lakeland stop the high-scoring Knights at home?

-Lakeland’s offense has been successful through the air and on the ground.

Quarterback Peyton Hillman has passed for 1,898 yards
