PC plays host during half of these contests as LaGrange, Averett, and Ferrum all make the trip to Demorest. The Lions are on the road for the other three contest as they visit Greensboro, William Peace, and end the regular season against the Scots of Maryville.
Home Finale
Of the home contests in October, the final game for the Lions in Demorest is against the Panthers of Ferrum College on October 22 at 1 p.m. The Lions are 7-2-1 when playing the Panthers with the most recent game ending with a PC win in overtime last season.
