What to watch

This figures to be a close early-season test. The teams’ last meeting — a one-point thriller on Aug. 23, 2024 — went to River Ridge, 21-20 (linescore: River Ridge 7, 0, 0, 14; Land O’ Lakes 0, 6, 0, 14). River Ridge enters the 2025 opener with a slightly larger local following on SBLive (18 fans to Land O’ Lakes’ 6), but both rosters are reset at 0-0 and anything can happen under the Friday night lights.
