Suggested Video

There's no place like home for Pine Forest, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They walked away with a 19-9 win over the West Florida Jaguars on Friday. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 139th, while the Jaguars are ranked 300th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Pine Forest didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Trevion Johnson, Rashard Payne, and Latrell Mcghee picked up one apiece.

Pine Forest's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-5. Those victories were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 8.3 points per game. As for West Florida, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-7.

After each having a week off, Pine Forest and ED White will dust off their jerseys to challenge one another at 6:30 p.m. on November 15th. ED White's defense has only allowed 13.6 points per game this season, so Pine Forest's offense will have their work cut out for them. West Florida does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
