Why this one matters

This non‑league tilt pits two programs that split time in close contests last season — Lewis County edged Lincoln 34-28 in the teams’ most recent meeting on Oct. 5, 2024, in Shinnston. That game was a back‑and‑forth affair and sets the stage for another physical Friday night in central West Virginia.
