Lake Brantley's loss was their eighth straight on the road (dating back to last season), which dropped their overall record down to 1-6. That rough patch could be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged seven points per game. Seminole is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season.
Here's a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Friday's matchup: Lake Brantley has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 258.3 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Seminole struggles in that department as they've been averaging 184.1 per game. It's looking like Friday's contest might have some serious battles in the trenches.
