After beating rival Manatee for the first time in 11 years last week, the Riverview football team is at home against Newsome. Rams quarterback Mike Welcer is a great athlete, and he uses his skills in all different ways. Last week, Welcer ran for three touchdowns, threw for one and caught another. He has a chance to top that performance against a Newsome team that has dropped two games in a row. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.

The Sailors have a chance to right the ship this week on the road against North Port. The Bobcats have allowed at least 28 points in six of its seven games. The game starts at 7:30 p.m.
