After each having a week off, the Ponte Vedra Sharks and the Niceville Eagles will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Ponte Vedra will be looking to extend their current six-game winning streak.
Ponte Vedra hadn't beaten Creekside on the road since November 3, 2017 but that history sure didn't bother them two weeks ago. The Sharks walked away with a 17-7 win over the Knights. Those 17 points were actually the fewest the Sharks have put up all season, but given the result they're probably not too concerned.

Davitt Doherty was a one-man wrecking crew as he picked up 117 receiving yards and a pair of TDs. Those 117 receiving yards gave him a new career-high.
Ponte Vedra's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB three times. Leading the way was Reece Beck with two sacks.
Meanwhile, everything came up roses for Niceville against Navarre last Friday as the squad secured a 34-6 victory. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matchups by 21 points or more this season.
Niceville's win came from a few key players Ponte Vedra will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Jakobe Gilyard, who rushed for 201 yards and two scores, and also picked up 61 receiving yards and one touchdown. He has become a key player for Niceville: the team is 5-2 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise. Deagan McCoy was another key player, throwing for 216 yards and a pair of TDs.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Niceville proved: they limited Navarre to a paltry 0.4 yards per carry. The team can thank Clay Nelson for the heroic effort on defense: he. Niceville's run defense has been on the up-and-up: they allowed 3.7 yards per carry earlier this season, but they've only allowed 5.3 on average over their last five games.
Ponte Vedra's win bumped their record up to 8-2. As for Niceville, their victory bumped their record up to 6-4.
Ponte Vedra and Niceville were neck-and-neck when the teams last played back in November of 2024, but Ponte Vedra came up empty-handed after a 21-20 loss. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Eagles' Robert Oliver, who picked up 184 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns. Now that the Sharks know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
