Friday's matchupsAll games at 7:30 unless noted Land O'Lakes (6-0, 4-0) at Pasco (5-1, 4-0): The Gators are one of the bay area's highest scoring offense with 253 points. That number could be higher if coach Matt Kitchie decided to keep the pedal to the metal. But in blowouts, he has pulled key players. Since its 32-0 loss at South Sumter, the Pirates have allowed just 19 points.
