What to watch

South Fork and Metro‑East Lutheran meet in Edwardsville with momentum from a lopsided previous meeting: the teams last met on Aug. 25, 2023, when South Fork dominated, 58-12 (game details: https://scorebooklive.com/illinois/football/games/3273994-south-fork-vs-metroeast-lutheran). That result gives this rematch added intrigue — Metro‑East Lutheran will be looking for a bounce-back performance on its home field.
