Leyden (4-3) at Lyons (6-1)

When: 7:30 p.m. today

Last week: Leyden d. Proviso East 35-0; Lyons d. Proviso West 17-14

Outlook: Leyden faces a big test to continue its three-game winning streak and secure its third playoff berth in four years against a team whose only loss is 26-16 to 6-1 York. “If we can hang with them with our defense and get some short fields we could have a shot, said Leyden coach Tom Cerasani, whose team won 14-10 last year. “It's a good test for us and we haven't played a real quality team since Downers (Grove South in Week 3). We told the kids they're in control of their own destiny. Leyden junior QB Joey DiFronzo will play after leaving last week with a sprained thumb and RB Justin Bolo will be a key against the Lions' blitzing defense. Cerasani called their offense led by QB Brian Kelley “very efficient.
