In one of the most interesting and competitive head-to-head matchups of the football season, the visiting Southern High School Dolphins defeated the John F. Kennedy High School Islanders 2-0 in the Guam Department of Education Interscholastic Sports Association 2023-2024 playoff quarterfinals on Saturday at JFK’s Ramsey Field.
When the two teams met in the regular season, JFK defeated Southern 13-12.
