Robinson (13-0) survived a serious test in last week’s semifinal round. The Senators trailed Morrilton by eight points in the fourth quarter before scoring 15 unanswered points to pull off a 35-28 win.
But Lakeside is seeking to pull off another massive upset in the 5A ranks. Last week, the Rams ended the three-year championship reign of Little Rock Parkview with a 25-21 win - and that game happened to take place at War Memorial Stadium, the same venue where Lakeside will play on Saturday.
Robinson is seeking to win its fourth state title, and the first since 2021. As for Lakeside (10-3), which went 4-7 a season ago, the Rams are seeking to win their first title in program history.
