The Pace Patriots will play host again on Thursday to welcome the Pine Forest Eagles, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:30 p.m. The two teams are strolling into their contests after big wins in their previous games.
Last Friday, Pace really took it to Tate for the full four quarters, racking up a 42-7 victory at home. The result was nothing new for the Patriots, who have now won four games by 28 points or more so far this season.
Pace found their leader in underclassman Makael Williams, who rushed for 162 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry. Another player making a difference was Joey Golino, who rushed for 69 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pine Forest). They were the clear victor by a 23-2 margin over Booker T. Washington on Friday. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 122nd, while the Wildcats are ranked 287th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Pace pushed their record up to 6-1 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. As for Pine Forest, they now have a winning record of 4-3.
Pace took a serious blow against Pine Forest in their previous matchup back in September of 2018, falling 40-7. Thankfully for Pace, Anwar Lewis (who rushed for 206 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
