The Opp Bobcats are taking a road trip to square off against the Destin Sharks at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Opp has four straight wins, Destin has five straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.

Opp is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They blew past Daleville, posting a 39-0 victory on the road. While the Bobcats didn't have the best season last year (they finished 4-7), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.

Meanwhile, Destin came up short against Port St. Joe on Friday and fell 21-12.

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was William Bruckner, who rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.

Opp's win bumped their record up to 4-0. As for Destin, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-4.
