Raines has won a close game against Venice, shut out Riverside, and beat Cocoa on the road. Its final regular-season test comes against a Florida rival that has spent nearly a decade on the wrong side of the series.

Raines (9-0) hosts Ribault (5-4) at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, in the 57th Northwest Classic. The Vikings can complete an undefeated regular season and extend their winning streak in the rivalry to 10 games. For the Trojans, an upset would end a three-game losing streak and secure a winning regular-season record.
