The West Elk Patriots are in the state quarterfinals, and matchup with the unbeaten second-ranked Lyndon Tigers this week.

 

West Elk has won seven consecutive games heading into the matchup, while Lyndon is 10-0 on the season, with wins over Burlingame, South Sumner, Cair Paravel, and Chase County.

 

Patriots coach Chris Haag says the Tigers are as good as people say.

 

West Elk is playing their best football of the season, but will face their toughest opponent of the season to this point. Haag says he wouldn't change a thing about how this season has gone to this point.

 

The Patriots and Tigers will square off in Lyndon on Friday night.
