2-1A Regional Meade versus LaCrosse 11-7-14

For the sixth year in a row, the Meade Buffaloes and the LaCrosse Leopards met in the playoffs. Many of those game would decide who would play for the State Championship that year. This year, the meeting came in the very first round of the playoffs.

Both teams squared off and traded drives early on. LaCrosse put up points on the board late in the First Quarter and never looked back. Meade threatened to score a couple of times, but the Leopard Defense kept them away from the end zone. LaCrosse won the game with a 34 to 0 score.

LaCrosse advances to play Ell-Saline in Brookville next Friday night. Meade finishes the season with a 8 and 2 record.
