Sandalwood has enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will venture away from home to take on the ED White Commanders at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
Last Friday, Sandalwood ended up a good deal behind First Coast and lost 28-14.
Meanwhile, ED White earned a 16-9 victory over Atlantic Coast on Friday. The 16-point effort marked the Commanders' lowest-scoring match of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
The critical scores for ED White came from Joshua Macklin and Landon Francis.
ED White wouldn't let Atlantic Coast keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Julian Holt was the leader in that area as all came courtesy of his dominant performance. He is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season. Johnny Duckett was another major factor on D, picking up three sacks and making seven total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Sandalwood's loss was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 0-6. As for ED White, their win bumped their record up to 4-2.
Sandalwood might still be hurting after the 26-6 defeat they got from ED White in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. Thankfully for Sandalwood, Jaylen Pettway (who threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns while completing 73.9% of his passes, and also rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown on only six carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
