The Key West Conchs will challenge the IMG Academy White Ascenders at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.

Jaden Fox's longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.

Jacob Hanson was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up threehimself. Another thorn in Episcopal School of Dallas' side was Mason Wydra, who forced a fumble, made four total tackles, and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception which he returned for a touchdown.
Key West might still be hurting after the 41-21 loss they got from IMG Academy White in their previous meeting back in September of 2023.
