Altamonte Christian is leaving town to face First Academy after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Altamonte Christian came up short against Circle Christian on Monday, falling 19-9. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it seven in a row.

Meanwhile, First Academy put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their perfect season alive. They walked away with an 8-5 victory over Leesburg.
