The Indian River Indians will take on the St. Elizabeth Vikings at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Indian River will be strutting in after a victory while St. Elizabeth will be coming in after a defeat.
Indian River is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Friday. They breezed by DuPont at home to the tune of 54-0. The match was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Indians had established a 47 point advantage.
Among those leading the charge was Dylan Grise, who threw for 117 yards and two touchdowns on only five passes. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in total yards.
Indian River's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged four passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Davon Handy, Bryan Irvin, and Weston Werner picked up one apiece. Handy also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making four total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
Meanwhile, St. Elizabeth ended up a good deal behind Archmere Academy on Saturday and lost 39-21. The loss continues a trend for the Vikings in their matchups with the Auks: they've now lost nine in a row.
Although St. Elizabeth took the loss, they still got scores from Cole Andrews, Terrence Williams, and Jose Maldonado.
Indian River didn't have too much breathing room in their game against St. Elizabeth when the teams last played back in September of 2023, but they still walked away with a 20-14 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was St. Elizabeth's Jihad Brown, who rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Indian River to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
