Suggested Video




The Fleming Island Golden Eagles will square off against the Riverside Generals at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Riverside took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Fleming Island, who comes in off a win.

While Golden Eagles fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They walked away with a 30-20 win over Clay on Friday. Given the Golden Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 116th, while the Blue Devils are ranked 257th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, Riverside suffered their biggest loss since September 8, 2023 on Friday. They were outmatched by Oakleaf on the road and fell 35-7.

Fleming Island didn't have too much breathing room in their match against Riverside in their previous meeting back in November of 2017, but they still walked away with a 31-26 victory. Will Fleming Island repeat their success, or does Riverside have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
