Elkhart is 1-0 against Florence since October of 2022, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Friday. The Elkhart Elks will be playing at home against the Florence Buffaloes at 7:30 p.m. Neither Elkhart nor Florence posted many points in their last games could muster much offensive firepower in their last games.

Despite the defeat, Elkhart saw an underclassman step up: Jackson Denney rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.
Meanwhile, this season hasn't been kind to Florence, who are still winless after their seventh matchup. They were dealt a 51-7 defeat at the hands of Rogers on Friday.

The losses dropped Elkhart to 3-4 and Florence to 0-7.
