After two games on the road, Nature Coast Tech is heading back home. Their bye week comes to an end as they meet up with Citrus at 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday. Coming off of a loss in a game they were expected to win, Nature Coast Tech now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.
The Sharks came up short against Hernando two weeks ago, falling 20-7. Fabian Burnett put forth a good effort for the losing side as he picked up 88 yards on the ground on 14 carries and accumulated 167 passing yards. Burnett has been one of Nature Coast Tech's best players in each of their past six games. Burnett has never finished with more yards this season.
Meanwhile, Citrus didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with Crystal River, but they still walked away with a 20-14 win. The Citrus offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the matchup anyway.
Citrus' defense was a presence, and it made life painful for the QB and got past Crystal River's offensive line for a total of four sacks. It was a group effort with three picking up 1.5 sacks apiece.
Everything went Nature Coast Tech's way against the Hurricanes the last time the two teams met in October as they made off with a 39-14 victory. Will the Sharks repeat their success, or does Citrus have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
