The last time Lakewood and Jordan met – it was a game that gave the winner the inside track to a top four finish in the Moore League and a guaranteed spot into the CIF-SS playoffs.
This season, Lakewood (4-3, 2-1) controls its own destiny to secure at least the Moore League No. 3 spot, while Jordan has dealt with some shuffling and is still looking for ways to get all their playmakers involved.
The Lancers are coming off a dominating 49-0 win over Cabrillo last week, but are looking to string together back-to-back wins since the first two weeks of the season.
Lakewood showed how balanced their attack can be with Kade Casillas orchestrating the offense around his playmakers and Josiah Apisala moving the ball on the ground.
Jordan (1-5, 0-2) got a glimpse of what John Lim is capable of in space after a long touchdown during the Panthers 51-6 loss to Millikan last week, but the team is still looking for some consistency.
