The Southridge Spartans will square off against the Homestead Broncos at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Homestead is hoping to do what Doral Academy couldn't on Friday: put an end to Southridge's winning streak, which now stands at four games. Southridge blew past Doral Academy 31-8. Given the Spartans' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 53rd, while the Firebirds are ranked 228th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Southridge's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but William Williams led the charge by rushing for 53 yards and two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, a well-balanced attack led Homestead over Southwest in every quarter on their way to victory two weeks ago. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Homestead blew Southwest out of the water with a 77-6 final score. The Broncos pushed the score to 71-6 by the end of the third, a deficit the Eagles had no chance of recovering from.
Southridge's victory bumped their record up to 4-1. As for Homestead, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 2-2.
Southridge couldn't quite finish off Homestead when the teams last played back in November of 2023 and fell 35-33. Thankfully for Southridge, Joshua Townsend (who rushed for 33 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 187 yards and two touchdowns on only 17 passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
