Team Profiles
Zephyrhills Bulldogs
• Entering the game undefeated at 10-0.
• The Bulldogs have put up big numbers this season — averaging roughly 40.6 points per game.
• Recently proved they can win close ones: they edged a tight contest 49-48 against Port Charlotte in their most recent outing.
• The Bulldogs defeated Rockledge in their last meeting, 35-15 in November 2024.
Rockledge Raiders
• Come in with a record of 3-7, making them underdogs heading into the matchup.
• Offensively and defensively, they have struggled in comparison to Zephyrhills: for instance, they average around 20.6 points per game and have given up more than 26.
• The Raiders will need something special to upset the Bulldogs — perhaps an inspired performance or a turnover-heavy game.
Being the lower-seeded team, Rockledge has less margin for error. Their path to victory likely depends on forcing turnovers, controlling time of possession, and getting early momentum to shake off the “underdog” tag.
The Bulldogs’ success so far stems from a high-powered offense and consistency in execution. If they can establish control early, they’ll force Rockledge into playing catch-up — something that has proven difficult for the Raiders this season.
Zephyrhills enters with a perfect record and the confidence that comes with it. Rockledge, with fewer wins and more losses, must find belief and execute without letting the scoreboard or crowd get to them.
