Football-at Lawrence Free State (7 PM-LFS)

After last Friday’s spectacular finish versus Lawrence, West football takes on the undefeated Lawrence Free State Firebirds. These teams met twice last year, Free State winning the first battle 28-14, and SM West winning the second game, 48-21. Both of these teams played close games last Friday. SM West defeated Lawrence on a game winning touchdown pass from A.J. Verdini to Andre Maloney with under a minute remaining. The extra point put West in front, and they held on to win 14-13. Free State was up by 8 late in the 4th quarter on Olathe East, but gave up a running touchdown late. They made the two-point conversion stop to win the game however, 28-26. This should be a classic.
