QUICK HITS

Both teams are going to rely heavily on the run. Legacy will go with the two-headed attack of Miller and Donnell, while Naaman Forest will counter with Bennett and a mix of Lee.

Both teams have big-time Division I players on the defensive line — two who will be teammates in college. Legacy’s Lawrence and Naaman Forest’s Dunn are both committed to Kansas. Devean Deal — a Tulane pledge — does it all for the Rangers. He leads the team in tackles, sacks and receiving. When Naaman Forest does throw, the ball is spread out some, but Deal is the go-to target.

Defense has been the bread and butter for the Rangers, who are holding opponents to 11.1 points per game. Naaman Forest is scoring 28 points per contest.

Legacy is averaging 37.5 points per game and allowing 31.3 points.
