Suggested Video

Southridge hasn't had much luck against Palmetto recently, but that could start to change on Wednesday. The Southridge Spartans will be playing at home against the Palmetto Panthers at 4:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few points on average, (Southridge 5.6, Palmetto 6.5) so any points scored will be well earned.

Southridge's defense heads into the match hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Wednesday. They put the hurt on South Dade with a sharp 21-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Spartans, who have now won five games by 21 points or more so far this season.

Meanwhile, a win is a win, as they say, even a pretty close 12-6 victory over Mater Lakes Academy. The 12-point effort marked the Panthers' lowest-scoring contest of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.

Palmetto is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 5.3 points on average over those games. The win made it two in a row for Southridge and bumps their season record up to 7-2.

Southridge came up short against Palmetto in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, falling 13-0. Will Southridge have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more football content.
