Heritage has a solid program and will look to remain undefeated to start the season. Heritage has not given up a point to opposing teams this season so it'll be important for the Lions to get going early.   Fort Meade (2-0) vs. Mulberry (1-0)   Miners: Carson Montsdeoca QB - Joshua Porter WR - Ryan Screen WR - [player_tooltip player_id='1230854' first='Darian' last='Kirkland'] WR - Keveun Mason RB - [player_tooltip player_id='1628903' first='Omari' last='Russell'] DB - Cyhdrin Simmons DB - Tedrick Simon DB - Davion Borders DB - Ashton White LB - Josiah Lozano WR - Markell Baker ATH    Panthers: Devin Burgess ATH, Jeffrey Duvalt ATH, Lloyd Knight RB, Timothy Jones LB, Jaquan Turner LB, Jermaine Mills OL/DL, Timothy Jones LB, [player_tooltip player_id='1132490' first='Paul' last='Sledge'] ATH   This is my top matchup in Polk this week as the Miners travel to Mulberry for a showdown with the Panthers and its speedy list of athletes. The Miners are loaded this season and look to remain unbeaten.

They are up for a big test against a Vanguard team that has already been battle-tested. Get your popcorn ready folks this should be a good one.   Lakeland (1-2) vs. Osceola (Kissimmee) (0-3)   Dreadnaughts: [player_tooltip player_id='827385' first='Zander' last='Smith'] QB, Rick Penick WR, Dee Rucker RB, Jamar Taylor WR, Malik Morris LB, [player_tooltip player_id='1123185' first='Jameson' last='Young'] DB, Keon Young DB   Kowboys: [player_tooltip player_id='826562' first='Elijah' last='Melendez'] LB, Anthony Powers QB, Robert Lee LB, [player_tooltip player_id='283755' first='Larenz' last='Walker'] DB, Jalen Bell ATH, [player_tooltip player_id='929620' first='Alijah' last='Jenkins'] WR, [player_tooltip player_id='1320702' first='Jeffery' last='Banks'] DB   It's uncommon to see such talented programs start the season ugly but injuries and tough opponents are what these two have dealt with. Still, this will be a battle between teams that are familiar with each other. The Dreadnaughts look to bounce back as they are still favored for another run at the state title.    Lake Gibson (3-0) vs. Lee County (GA) (3-1)   Braves: Joel Morris QB- Fentrell Graham RB - [player_tooltip player_id='1035186' first='Quinton' last='Moore Jr'] LB - Kordell Lewis WR - Tristan Black OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1141192' first='Cason' last='Dash'] DB - Jeremy Thomas WR, Derrick McBride WR, Jerry Brown OL   Trojans: Weston Bryan QB, Ousmane Kromah RB, Tion Garmon DB, Jace Molden OL, Devin Collier DB, Corey McDowell DB, Temirez Williams DB, Justyn Tanksley LB   Lake Gibson and head coach Rich Pringle will take the Braves to Georgia for a matchup with a good program in Lee County.
