Mason County and Lewis County have not played since the Royals moved up to Class 4A in 2015.
The Royals are riding a three-game winning streak and will be going for their seventh win of the season.
The Lions have lost three games in a row. Last week's 49-16 loss to the West Carter Comets cost the Lions a spot in the Class 3A playoffs. Lewis County finished 1-4 in district play. The Lions are 2-7 overall with wins over Nicholas County (56-34) and Pendleton County (38-30.
Lewis County junior quarterback Zach Lehn has passed for 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns. He has thrown 12 interceptions.
Lehn's favorite targets are Tay Offutt and Zach Robersion. Offutt has 47 receptions for 620 yards and five touchdowns. Robersion has 40 receptions for 449 yards and two touchdowns.
Tailback Garrett Applegate is the Lions' leading rusher with 681 yards and 12 touchdowns on 114 carries.
Lewis County has been outscored 412-188.
Mason County coach Jonathan Thomas said after the Royals were unable to win a district championship, the next goal was to win as many games as possible.
"7 and 3 is definitely a goal for us, at this point and time it's very, very attainable," Thomas said.
He added that the Royals need to take of business tonight and not worry about next week's playoff game against Johnson Central.
"Next week will be here fast enough," Thomas said.
