Gators Win a 2-day Game!
The Gators varsity football team came out on Saturday with renewed energy and passion. The game had been suspended from Friday night in the middle of the 2nd quarter. The Gators had the ball on the PCS 29 yard line with 8:01 to play in the half. In just a few short plays they had brought the score to within 2 points 24-28 after a touchdown and 2-point conversion.
In the 2nd half the Gator defense got stronger and stronger, especially after the offense scored another touchdown to go ahead 28-24 (missed conversion attempt). Twice, including the final minute of the game, the Gators held the Patriots at the goal-line on 4 straight downs. The game ended when the TJ Reynard, Josh Miller and Travis Dykes sacked the Patriots' quarterback--Miller punched the ball loose for a fumble, and Dykes recovered it for the Gators with 39 seconds remaining!
Way to Go GATORS 3-0! Next game is THURSDAY at HOME vs Hampton Roads Academy.
