Why this one matters
This matchup brings two familiar programs together in midseason. The last time these teams met, Sept. 27, 2024, Sexton came away with a 34-14 victory. Expect Sexton to try and replicate the balance that produced that outcome while Lakewood will look to correct the mistakes that turned the previous meeting into a one-sided affair.
