Football Game Preview: Sumner Stingrays vs. Ocoee Knights + Official Tickets

After both having extra time off, the Sumner Stingrays and the Ocoee Knights will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Sumner has three straight victories, Ocoee has three straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.

Back in October, Sumner took their contest with ease, bagging a 42-7 win over Alonso. The result was nothing new for the Stingrays, who have now won four matchups by 23 points or more so far this season.

The critical scores for Sumner came from Tyler Lynch, Jameris Conyers, Christian Mollinio, Zion Colbert, Taesean Robinson, and Elijah Brown.
