East River is eight games into its season, but it hasn't met anyone harder than the team challenging it next. It takes on Lake Nona this Friday at 7:00 PM. East River might be feeling good about this one after its surprising comeback last game.
East River didn't have too many spare points last week in its contest with Liberty, but it still walked away with a 19 - 13 win. Senior Jose Garcia didn't have many carries in the previous game, but he had more touches this time and made them count as he ran for 78 yards and punched in two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Lake Nona took its game last week by a score of 34 - 21. Senior Anthony Manning provided the team with an impressive 169 receivings in the victory. This was also the 5th consecutive game in which Manning has caught for 100+ yards. Another highlight for the team was the 346 passing yards from junior Michael Kern.
Their wins bumped Lake Nona to 5-1 and East River to 6-1. Lake Nona and East River will be experiencing extra pressure in this one since they are each in the midst of a winning streak (five wins for each). We'll see which team can handle the heat this Thursday.
