Yulee (3-1) at Fernandina Beach (2-2), Football Friday Game of the Week
The Nassau County rivalry has been quite streaky. The Hornets have won the last nine games, most of those in one-sided affairs. But the Pirates made a game of things last year and they’ve been solid to start this season, too. Yulee, with QB Niko Smith directing the offense after winning a state championship last year at Ware County, Ga., has expectations for a District 5-2S title. That district road begins here. RB Teonte Artis-Croxton (275 rushing yards, 5 TDs) provides the tough yards behind Smith. WRs DJ Mason and Tyson Wharton have combined for 505 yards receiving. For the Pirates, RB Dante Simms, QB Brodie Clemens and LB Joshua Modupe lead the way.
