The Pungo Christian Academy Raiders (1-1) hit the road to face the Northeast Academy Eagles (0-2) in a non-conference matchup on Friday, September 5, 2025 @ 7:00 PM. Both teams feature standout individual performers, but while Pungo has found early balance in its passing and rushing attack, Northeast has leaned heavily on its dominant runner Marshall Medford to generate offense. With one squad trying to get above .500 and the other still searching for its first win, this game carries plenty of early-season weight.

Northeast Academy Eagles (0-2)
Despite their slow start, the Eagles boast one of the state’s most explosive individual players in Marshall Medford. Medford has been nothing short of dominant, averaging 263 rushing yards and 271 total yards per game, while also contributing in the passing game. QB Camden White provides short-yardage balance, while also chipping in defensively. The challenge for Northeast has been depth and defense, with just 8 tackles per game as a team and 86 points allowed through two outings.
For the Eagles to pull the upset, Medford will need another massive performance, and the supporting cast will have to tighten up defensively.
