1o Interesting Games To Keep An Eye On In Week 4

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While the holiday has switched several games to Thursday this week across the state, there are still some important Week 4 contests across the Sunshine State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While we spotlight some of the programs that many know about, we are also about the programs that very few have the opportunity to follow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we do each week, here are 10 games that could be very competitive – and if you live close to any of these matchups, we hope that you will make it out to watch and support these young men and their coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Clermont East Ridge (3-0) at Bushnell South Sumter (2-1). </strong>This is a Friday contest that could be very interesting against a Raider team that dropped an overtime thriller against a much-improved St. Cloud squad. The Knights have cruised over their three opponents, 144-20.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Delray Beach Atlantic (2-1) at Pahokee (3-0). </strong>This is an intriguing home game for the Blue Devils who have gotten off to a fast start. This 1A vs. 5A game, which will be played on Thursday will showcase some outstanding talent along with really good coaching out west. Plenty of tradition here in the “Muck”.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Eastpoint Franklin County (4-0) at Bristol Liberty County (3-0). </strong>Averaging nearly 40 points in their four wins, the Seahawks will be on the road for this Friday evening game against a Bulldogs' team that has outscored their three opponents, 151-30. Two teams that we don't talk about much, but both deserve the recognition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Punta Gorda Charlotte (3-0) at Immokalee (3-0). </strong>Another Thursday night contest that will bring plenty of good football to Southwest Florida with two unbeatens that are ready to put on a show. The Tarpons have a new coach and have played great defense in the first three games. They know this will be a huge challenge, but one they are ready for. The home team Indians have been dominating in their three contests – outscoring the opposition, 137-26.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lake Mary (1-1) at DeLand (1-1). </strong>Nobody has to tell either team how important this Friday evening game is. The defending state champion Rams are looking to get back on track against a team that they knocked out of the state playoffs a year ago. The Bulldogs beat Lake Wales on the road before dropping a well-played contest at home against national power St. Frances of Baltimore. Is this a revenge game for the home team?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Miami Central (2-0) at Buford (2-0). </strong>The Rockets went on the road and beat a very good Orange Lutheran team in California and came home to take care of business against Miami St. Brendan. But they are on the road for a Thursday game with by far the best team on their schedule and understand that they need to play mistake free football to survive against the Wolves!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Miami Christopher Columbus (2-1) at Miami Palmetto (3-0). </strong>The Explorers and Panthers have had this Thursday evening matchup circled months in advance. While the Explorers have enjoyed quite a start, being ranked as one of the nation's best – the Panthers have remained quiet, taking care of business in the first three games of the season. This district matchup is going to be the Game of the Week in south Florida.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Miami Northwestern (3-0) at Hawthorne (3-0). </strong>This is a very rare matchup between a large school power in the Bulls, who are always loaded with talent, against a small program that has enjoyed success for much of the past decades with state titles and plenty of state playoff experience. This Thursday night game will test the Hornets, who are smaller team, but loaded with playmakers!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Plantation American Heritage (1-2) at Jacksonville Trinity Christian (2-1). </strong>To say that this is an important game for the Patriots is an understatement if they have any hope on making the first year of the “Open Division”. The Conquerors are loaded with talent and will be at home for this Friday night thriller as the two-time defending state champions head north.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman (3-0) at West Boca Raton (2-0). </strong>This is easily one of the top games in Florida on this Thursday night as the two-time defending state champions are at home against the 1A state champs from last year who upended the Bulls in overtime, 26-20, last season. This is one of those contests that will feature premier coaching and impressive talent on both sides of the ball.
