This season hasn't been kind to The Leonard Lancers, who are still winless after their tenth matchup. They received a tough blow on Friday as they fell 41-22 to Royal Palm Beach. Leonard was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Royal Palm Beach apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in November of 2022.

Wilkins is on a roll when it comes to receiving yards, as he's now posted 100 or more in the last three games he's played.
