PHIL CAMPBELL – For the second time in three weeks, Phil Campbell will take the field against a ranked opponent when the Bobcats host Lexington Friday.
Phil Campbell is still seeking its first win of the 2009 season, and it could be tough to get it this week.
Lexington (3-0, 2-0) is ranked ninth in the latest Class 2A poll. Each of the Bears' wins came by at least 10 points and two of those wins came against teams that have already beaten Phil Campbell this season.
Lexington defeated Clements 24-14 two weeks ago. Clements beat Phil Campbell 42-24 last week.
Two weeks ago the Bobcats lost to then second-ranked Tanner 56-14. Lexington upset Tanner last week 24-7.
Lexington has won the previous three games in the series. The game begins at 7 p.m.
