Golden Gate's offense might be in the hot seat on Friday considering what happened against Naples on Friday. They had to suffer through a 41-0 loss at the hands of the Golden Eagles.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Immokalee). They claimed a resounding 66-6 victory over Gateway at home. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Jontay Hais was his usual excellent self, rushing for 201 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries. Jayden Mixon was another key back, rushing for 124 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 carries.
He was just one part of a punishing run game: Immokalee was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 325 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in October of 2023.
Golden Gate dropped their record down to 0-5 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season. As for Immokalee, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 4-1.
Everything came up roses for Golden Gate against Immokalee when the teams last played back in September of 2023 as the team secured a 42-10 win.
