This Friday, November 22, the PCA Lions face off against the Parish Panthers in the second round of the playoffs. Excitement is building after both teams delivered dominant wins in the opening round. Prestonwood Christian Academy made a statement last week, defeating El Paso Cathedral 65-6. Meanwhile, Parish rolled past Houston St. Pius with a commanding 76-27 victory.

The stakes couldn’t be higher for this highly anticipated matchup. The last time the Lions faced the Panthers, fans witnessed one of the most thrilling games of the season. PCA secured a 52-49 win in a high-scoring thriller, with both teams exchanging blows throughout the game. Now, Parish will be looking for redemption, while the Lions aim to replicate their success and advance further in the playoffs.

PCA’s key to winning this week will be their ability to control the Parish passing attack which proved lethal last week as Sawyer Anderson threw for 517 yards and six touchdowns. On the other side, the Lions’ balanced attack will need to shine once again, led by quarterback Luke Glass, who passed for 302 yards and two touchdowns, and running back LJ Taylor, who rushed for an impressive 221 yards and three touchdowns.

With both teams firing on all cylinders, fans can expect another electrifying contest under the Friday night lights. Will the Lions roar to victory once again, or will the Panthers pounce to even the score?
