The Bay Tornadoes will be defending their home-field for the first time for the first time when they go up against the Mosley Dolphins at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Bay is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They were just a hair shy of victory on Friday and fell 8-7 to Arnold.
Meanwhile, everything went Mosley's way against Rutherford on Friday as Mosley made off with a 53-28 win. Given the Dolphins' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 153rd, while the Rams are ranked 428th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Sammy Freitas was nothing short of spectacular: he threw for 283 yards and five touchdowns while completing 73.9% of his passes. Another player making a difference was Carson Griffin, who picked up 103 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Mosley was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 417 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Rutherford only gained 255.
Bay took a serious blow against Mosley in their previous matchup back in September of 2023, falling 62-7. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Freitas, who threw for 162 yards and four touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 34 yards and two touchdowns. Now that Bay knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
