Riverview hosts Santaluces on Friday night in Sarasota for the regular-season finale, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m., according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune’s Week 11 previews. Riverview enters at 7-2 and Santaluces at 5-3, according to MaxPreps.

Riverview defeated crosstown rival Sarasota 62-34 in Week 10, scoring 28 unanswered points to end the game, according to the Herald-Tribune. Senior quarterback Logan Carrillo completed 17 of 20 passes for 348 yards and three touchdowns. Imari Thomas had nine catches for 201 yards and two touchdowns and broke Riverview’s single-game and single-season receiving yards records; he has 936 receiving yards this season. Running back Justin Flores rushed for 220 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries.

Santaluces, from Palm Beach County, makes the trip to Sarasota for the finale. Riverview’s offense, coming off a 62-point performance, will try to carry that form into the postseason. The Rams’ seniors close the regular season at home on Friday night in Sarasota.

Dwyer at Wellington: Panthers Visit Wolverines to Close Regular Season

Dwyer visits Wellington on Friday night to close the regular season. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m., according to the Palm Beach Post Week 11 schedule.

The Post lists Dwyer at 4-5 and Wellington at 5-4 for this Friday, Oct. 30 matchup. MaxPreps’ Dwyer page lists the same next game, Dwyer at Wellington on Oct. 30 at 6:30 p.m., with Dwyer at 4-5 and Wellington at 5-4 and a Preview Game designation.

The records make the math simple for both teams. Wellington can finish with six wins and a winning regular season by protecting its home field. Dwyer can finish at 5-5 and reach .500 by winning on the road, which would be a meaningful close for a team that enters one game under that mark.

No venue beyond the home school, district stake or player statistics were stated for this matchup in the schedule sources checked, so none are included here. What is verified is the date, the 6:30 p.m. start, the home and away teams and the records as published for Oct. 30.

This is the kind of finale that decides how a season is described afterward. One of these Palm Beach County programs finishes as a winning team or a .500 team on Friday night, and the other finishes under .500. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. in Wellington.
