Landrum will hit the road on Friday after two weeks of drama at home.
The Cardinals will face off with Dixie, which is turning into a battle of two teams that appear to be going in opposite directions.
The Hornets are off to a rough start this season, dropping the first three games against Southside Christian, Palmetto and Crescent.
The Cardinals, on the other hand, may be as hot as any team in the 1A ranks. Landrum has its first 3-0 start since 2004. The Cardinals went on the road in week one and beat Traveler’s Rest. The last two games, however, have been a test of wills for Landrum.
In week two, the Cardinals and Chesnee played close before quarterback Brandon Cannon ran the ball into the endzone with 4.5 seconds left to give Landrum a big win over the 2A Eagles.
Last week may have been one of the biggest wins Landrum has had in a long time.
The Cardinals beat Polk County for the first time in the last nine seasons, breaking a string of eight straight losses.
The Cardinals’ offense is really swinging into gear.
Offensive Coordinator Tucker Hamrick is grooving the spread offense from one end of the field to the other and Cannon is putting together a strong season in the early going.
Cannon has thrown for 705 yards and ran for 290 yards.
The defense has also responded with Cannon, Chasten Thomas and Ryan Herbst leading the charge.
Landrum will have two more games before they get into their region schedule.
Landrum will travel to Dixie tonight at 7:30 p.m. and will host Liberty next week at 7:30 p.m.
