Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps national rankings, Tavares should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They will challenge Jones on the road at 7:00 PM. The teams both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous games.
Tavares have had to suffer through a four-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Poinciana, sneaking past 19-17. Tavares found their leader in underclassman sophomore Ty'quan Wiggins, who rushed for 49 yards and 1 touchdown.
Meanwhile, Jones brought a six-game winning streak into their contest against Eustis last Friday; they left with a seven-game streak. Jones steamrollered Eustis 51-0. Followers of Jones probably expected little less of the squad in a season in which they have collected six blowout victories.
Tavares took a serious blow against Jones the last time the two teams met, falling 0-56. Can Tavares avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself ? We'll soon find out.
