The Bonita Springs Bullsharks will challenge the Mariner Tritons at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Mariner took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Bonita Springs, who comes in off a win.
Having struggled with nine defeats in a row dating back to last season, Bonita Springs finally turned things around against Ida Baker on Friday. They snuck past the Bulldogs with a 14-10 victory. The score was all tied up 7-7 at the break, but the Bullsharks were the (much) better team in the second half.
Meanwhile, Mariner couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They had to suffer through a 35-7 loss at the hands of Fort Myers. While losing is never fun, the Tritons can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 317th, while the Green Wave are ranked 119th).
Bonita Springs was taken down by Mariner 46-7 in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. Thankfully for Bonita Springs, Kelvin Jimenez (who picked up 108 receiving yards and three touchdowns) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
