The Pasco Pirates will take on the Hernando Leopards at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Pasco is looking for their season's first victory.
Pasco's offense might be in the hot seat on Friday considering what happened against Zephyrhills on Monday. They were outmatched by the Bulldogs at home and fell 50-0. While losing is never fun, the Pirates can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 435th, while the Bulldogs are ranked 134th).
Meanwhile, Hernando humbled Central with a 41-7 victory.
One reason for the win was Hernando's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for 12 sacks. It was truly a group effort as Isaac Hiett, Evan Richards, David Collins, and Keaundre Gavin picked up two apiece. Gavin is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made seven or more in the last 15 games he's played dating back to last season. Another thorn in Central's side was Sam Jackson, who picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made nine total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Pasco's defeat dropped their record down to 0-5. As for Hernando, their win bumped their record up to 2-3.
Pasco and Hernando were almost perfectly matched up in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, but Pasco suffered an agonizing 15-14 loss. Will Pasco have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more football content.
