After three games on the road, Bay is heading back home. They will host the West Florida Jaguars at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Last Monday, Bay earned a 28-16 win over Pensacola.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask West Florida). They took their contest on the road on Friday with ease, bagging a 35-7 victory over Gulf Breeze. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Jaguars considering their seven-point performance the matchup before.

Among those leading the charge was Xavier Finley, who rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 33 yards and a touchdown. Those 85 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. Speaking of playmakers, who could forget Zayvion Davis, who went all the way with a kickoff return for a touchdown.

Bay's win ended a four-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-4. As for West Florida, the victory snapped their losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 2-4 record.

Bay was taken down by West Florida 35-0 when the teams last played back in November of 2022. Thankfully for Bay, Patrick Delcour (who picked up 119 receiving yards and two touchdowns) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
