East St. Louis always casts a wide net when it comes to football scheduling, and the latest top matchup is a showdown with Georgia power Gainesville on Friday. 

The Flyers, ranked No. 37 nationally by MaxPreps, already have faced a pair of nationally ranked opponents this season, taking down Chicago Mt. Carmel 42-23 in the opener, then falling 35-28 in overtime at Florida’s American Heritage last weekend.

The players to watch for the home team in this one are Flyers running back Myson Johnson-Cook, an Auburn commit, and Florida-bound corner Raheem Floyd. 

Gainesville has an elite DB of its own in junior four-star Jai’lil Goley, who anchors the defense alongside senior linebacker and Pitt commit Jeremiah Proctor. 

Can the Red Elephants bounce back from a season-opening loss to national No. 5 Buford or will the Flyers add another marquee win? Here’s when and where to watch.
