The Riverview Sharks will head out to take on the Strawberry Crest Chargers at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Riverview is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 33 points last Saturday, they were much more limited against Lennard on Thursday. They came up short against the Longhorns, falling 28-7. While losing is never fun, the Sharks can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 188th, while the Longhorns are ranked tenth).
Meanwhile, Strawberry Crest got themselves on the board against Seffner Christian on Tuesday, but Seffner Christian never followed suit. They blew past the Crusaders 27-0. The Chargers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five contests by 21 points or more this season.
Strawberry Crest has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 7.6 points on average over those games. Riverview dropped their record down to 1-7 with the defeat, which was their third straight at home.
Riverview took their victory against Strawberry Crest in their previous matchup back in February of 2024 by a conclusive 32-7. Does Riverview have another victory up their sleeve, or will Strawberry Crest turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
