The Edgewater Eagles will take on the Boone Braves at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Boone is hoping to do what Dr. Phillips couldn't last Friday: put an end to Edgewater's winning streak, which now stands at five games. Edgewater blew past Dr. Phillips 45-18. Edgewater's win was all the more impressive since the Panthers were averaging only 11.86 points allowed on the season.
Edgewater got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Josh Perry out in front who rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries. The dominant performance gave Perry a new career-high in rushing yards. The team also got some help courtesy of Carter Emanuel, who threw for 158 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 passes.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Boone). They breezed by Freedom to the tune of 68-0 on Friday. Given the Braves' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 174th, while the Patriots are ranked 516th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Edgewater's win bumped their record up to 7-2. As for Boone, the victory was the third in a row for them, bringing their record for this year to 5-3.
Everything came up roses for Edgewater against Boone in their previous meeting back in November of 2023, as the team secured a 42-14 win. Will Edgewater repeat their success, or does Boone have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
