The Southridge Spartans will challenge the Edison Red Raiders at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Southridge's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points every time they've taken the field this season.
Southridge barely beat Homestead the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Spartans blew past the Broncos 59-18 on Friday. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 35-12.
James Perrone continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, throwing for 319 yards and three TDs while picking up 16.0 yards per attempt, and also rushing for 85 yards and one score. Travis Gamble Jr was another key player, rushing for 66 yards and one touchdown on only six carries.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 56-6, which was the final score in Edison's tilt against Chaminade-Madonna last Monday. The contest marked the Red Raiders' lowest-scoring game so far this season.
Southridge pushed their record up to 5-0 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Those home wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 13.2 points on average this season. As for Edison, they now have a losing record of 2-3.
Everything came up roses for Southridge against Edison in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, as the squad secured a 40-8 victory. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Red Raiders' Sterling Joseph, who picked up 60 receiving yards and one score, and also rushed for 66 yards on only eight carries. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for the Spartans to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
