Ponte Vedra didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Creekside when the teams last played back in November of 2024, but they still walked away with a 35-30 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Sharks since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
