This is going to be a really tough game for LDNE, but I look for them to hold their own in this one.
Lyons-Decatur Northeast gave East Butler a tough game, and I look for that to be the case again Friday night.
Winning won’t be easy for LDNE, but I look for them to give it all they got and challenge Conestoga at the very least.
Sort of a different matchup and long road trip so we’ll see how Lyons-Decatur Northeast does and handles things.
I think LDNE will do well and hold their own, but we’ll see for sure come Friday night.
