Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Sunlake will take on Pasco at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Pasco will have to bring their A-game into this one, as they are staring down a pretty big deficit in the MaxPreps Florida Rankings (they are ranked 615th, while Sunlake is ranked 268th).
