The Weeki Wachee Hornets will take on the Tenoroc Titans at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Tenoroc took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Weeki Wachee, who comes in off a win.
Last Friday, Weeki Wachee made easy work of Orangewood Christian and carried off a 42-16 win. The match was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Hornets had established a 20 point advantage.
Leelen Wright went supernova for Weeki Wachee, rushing for 176 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.7 yards per carry. With that strong performance, Wright is now averaging an impressive 128 rushing yards per game. Richard Hanshaw was another key player, throwing for 208 yards and a touchdown on only 16 passes.
Weeki Wachee's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Isaiah Casanova and Brock Rosario. Rosario also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making 13 total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception which he returned for a touchdown.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Weeki Wachee was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 475 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Orangewood Christian only gained 121.
Meanwhile, Tenoroc had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They were beaten by Umatilla 35-0 last Friday. The Titans just can't catch a break and have now endured 11 losses in a row dating back to last season.
Weeki Wachee was able to grind out a solid victory over Tenoroc when the teams last played back in September of 2023, winning 13-0. Does Weeki Wachee have another victory up their sleeve, or will Tenoroc turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
