Game Preview by Troy Messenger (Wes Johnson)
Lyman Ward @ Pike Liberal Arts
The Patriots come into their season opener looking to improve upon their 28-21 victory over Crenshaw Christian in last week’s jambore. Head coach Steven Kilcrease is still uncertain on the amount of playing time quarterback Josh Starling will receive but has two very capable candidates to turn to in Nick McLaughlin and Taytom Barnes. The Patriots are 3-0 against the Rangers and have yet to surrender a point. Pike Liberal Arts has an inexperienced offensive line that needs to show improvement if the Patriots hope to make another run in AISA Class 3A.
KICKOFF TIME - 7:00 PM at PLAS
