The Lisbon Lions and Lone Tree Lions have steamrolled through their opponents so far this season, but next week someone's roll will come to an end.
Third-ranked Lisbon and Lone Tree both won handily in Week 6 setting up an undefeated clash between Class A District 5 teams Friday at Lisbon.
Lisbon (6-0, 3-0) dropped English Valleys, 67-8, Friday night. Lone Tree (6-0, 3-0) handled ninth-ranked BGM, 32-6.
The two teams have been the class of the district, shutting opponents down while lighting up the scoreboard. Lisbon, a state quarterfinalist in 2010, has scored at least 47 points in four of its first six games, owning a 301-16 (allowing eight points in a win over 1A West Branch) advantage in points.
Lisbon's stingy defense has four shutouts this season. Lone Tree has been just as impressive outscoring its opponents 295-44. A key matchup will be the Lisbon defense against Lone Tree's district-leading rush attack, which has 2,078 yards this year.
Lisbon won last year's meeting, 28-22, in overtime.
