Senior Cody Gray feels about Pinkerton how some people feel about taxes. 

Especially during the Mack Plaque game in September. It came down to one play, one snap of the football, and one step that ultimately ended up with Gray being sidelined in one of the biggest games of the year for the varsity football team. 

After taking a hit to the side of his knee, Gray suffered from a dislocated kneecap. Gray was doing better, getting stronger, and then he re-injured it after a drill during an after-school practice.

Just three weeks ago, the Lancers were in Exeter for the final game of the regular season. Now they are back for playoffs, and the stakes are much higher than before. 

The goal is simple: win, and you get a ticket to the Division 1 State Championship game. Lose, and you go home, and the Lancers have already fallen once to Exeter.

To try and get revenge for their early season loss, they will need their big-name athletes to play a strong game, which includes seniors Sam Ogden, Carson Palma, and junior Adrian Cruz.
