Two local Boca Raton high schools will face each other on Thursday night. The Olympic Heights Lions head three miles east on Yamato Road and challenge the Spanish River Sharks.
Olympic Heights(1-0) has shown signs of improvements since they lost their spring football game to Park Vista 28-7. The Lions defeated John I. Leonard 28-20 in the preseason kickoff classic and won their regular season opener as they got by the Boynton Beach Tigers 7-6 last week. Quarterback Connor Hone calls the signals on offense and looks to connect passes to wide receivers Jack Coulson and Ke'andre Hollis. Running back Nick Palmenteri will get the majority of carries from the backfield.
Spanish River(0-1) has had trouble generating points on the scoreboard in their earlier contests this year. They were routed by Coral Springs 47-7 in the spring game and lost to West Boca Raton 25-13 in the kickoff classic. They visited Cardinal Newman last week and were handled by the Crusaders 49-14. The Sharks have Connor Tribby return as quarterback as he will try to find wide receivers Blake Goldberg, Benny Alfonso and Jared Moorer down the field. River can split the handoffs between running backs Nick Forde and Carlos Oliden.
