It’s rivalry time in Fernandina Beach. The 16th annual Johnny T. Smith Classic tips off tonight at Fernandina Beach High School. West Nassau and Hilliard, two West Side teams that haven’t met in a few seasons, will play at 6 p.m. The East Side rivals, Yulee and Fernandina Beach, play at 7:30 p.m. Saturday is championship night. The consolation game is at 6 p.m. with the Nassau County championship tilt set for 7:30 p.m. Tip-off “What makes it The West Side interesting is that rivalry kicks off Yulee beat us and the 16th annual West Nassau beat Johnny T.
