The rivalry match on October 4, 2024, saw the Eastlake Wolves defeat the Skyline Spartans 29-12. Skyline opened the scoring with a touchdown from Joshua Menold, but Eastlake quickly equalized before halftime. A pivotal interception by quarterback Ryder Barrysmith shifted the game's momentum, allowing Eastlake to execute a series of strong offensive plays that put them ahead. The second half featured a standout 60-yard touchdown pass, showcasing the team's adaptability in the absence of their first-string quarterback, Landon Renfroe. The Wolves' defense was also instrumental, effectively shutting down Skyline's attempts to regain control.
