Key Player Matchups

Campbell’s ability to extend plays and throw deep will test the Panthers’ defensive backs.
RB Jordan Reyes (Lyon) vs. Greenville Front Seven
If active, Reyes’ downhill running could help Lyon control tempo.
QB Tyler Smith (Greenville) vs. Lyon Pass Rush
Smith has been efficient but turnover-prone; Lyon must pressure him to force mistakes.
