Why this one matters

Peoria enters as the home side with more momentum on paper — the Lions handed MacArthur a 62-14 loss in their last meeting on Oct. 29, 2022, and will look to replicate that dominance in the postseason. The Generals will be trying to flip the script in hostile territory and extend their playoff stay.
