Suggested Video

The South Lake Cavaliers will head out on the road to square off against the New Haven Rockets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

While Cavaliers fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Thursday's season opener. They pulled ahead with a 20-19 photo finish over Warren Woods-Tower on Thursday.

The critical scores for South Lake came from Messiah Carter, Caleb Burkes, and Champion Cornelius.

Meanwhile, New Haven gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Parkway Christian 51-20 at home. The victory was some much needed relief for the Rockets as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.

South Lake strolled past New Haven when the teams last played back in October of 2023 by a score of 42-24. The rematch might be a little tougher for South Lake since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
