Can you smell the playoffs comin’?
If not, go to your local team’s locker room. Uniforms and equipment that hasn’t been washed for three months – that’s what the playoffs smell like.
This week we’re making the two-and-a-half hour trip to Lincoln County to watch the Lynx host the Needles Mustangs.
There are implications.
The top four teams in the 2A south go to the first round of the playoffs. The 1- and 2-seeds are at home against the 3- and 4-seeds respectively. Currently, The Meadows and Needles are tied for first. Lincoln, who lost a hard-fought game at Meadows, 28-20, is now 2-1 and must win on Friday for any chance at home field advantage in that first round.
Oh yes, this is when it gets fun.
Well, fun for the observers at least. This is when coaches get less sleep, as Needles head coach Steve Price reminded me last night.
As usual, we’ll send live updates via cell phone. We’re also hoping to have some audio and video footage to share.
By the way, the Moapa Valley-Virgin Valley showdown is next Thursday. Need I say more?
