North Fort Myers unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They were outmatched by the Cape Coral Seahawks and fell 40-10. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it five in a row.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Cape Coral to victory, but perhaps none more so than Jermain Skinner, who rushed for 110 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only ten carries. Skinner's longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. The team also got some help courtesy of Caleb Cobb, who gained 114 total yards and two touchdowns.
Looking ahead, North Fort Myers will venture away from home to take on Port Charlotte at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. As for Cape Coral, they will welcome Lemon Bay at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
