Why this matters

North Side travels to Leland for a Friday night matchup that should draw local interest — and a few extra clicks. The teams last met Nov. 30, 2024, in Leland, when North Side escaped with a 35-30 victory. That game featured a tight finish and gave the Gators the edge in the recent series.

SBLive notes from the last meeting showed a projected win chance favoring North Side (about 74.7%) over Leland (about 25.3%) and the Gators went on to win. Those numbers are snapshots and can change leading up to the game — follow the teams and make your picks on ScorebookLive to help boost the fan counts. Picks are for fun and are not tied to the win-chance projections.
