In 2009 Florida High saw the absence of a few key players due to injury that would have perhaps had a huge impact on their season. In the Seminoles week 1 match-up against crosstown rival FAMU High, the “impact” returned in a big way as Florida High posted 34 first half points on their way to a 48-6 win.

Seminole RB #10 K. Farmer had a stellar performance while racking up 3 touchdowns and 56 yards rushing. Farmer’s efforts were matched by QB #12 D. Harvey and RB K. Lewis. Both players rushed for over 100 yards each to power the Florida High offense. The Baby Rattlers lone score came on a 56 yard pass from QB #9 J. Jones to WR #4 C. McWhite.

There were plenty of Taylor County faithful on hand to watch their Bulldogs defeat the visiting Wakulla War Eagles in their 2010 season opener, 24-6. The first 3 quarters of play was a display of domination by the Bulldogs, as Taylor County used a strong defensive effort, while capitalizing on several Wakulla miscues to seal their first victory over the War Eagles in 13 years.

The Bulldogs opened up the scoring with a 38 yard reverse sweep touchdown run by WR #12 T. Jones, while kicker #13 H. Barfield booted a 33 yard field goal to make the score 10-0 early in the 2nd quarter. Later, Taylor County used a little trickery, with a well executed double-pass to put them on the 1 yard line. On the next play, Bulldog QB #15 E. Grambling powered into the end-zone, giving Taylor County a commanding 17-0 halftime lead after the extra point.

The War Eagles managed to erase a near shutout late in the ballgame, when RB #12 M. Godbolt ran in from 9 yards out to give Wakulla their only score on the night. The final score, however, belonged to Taylor County RB #1 T. Jackson, who put on a show with an explosive 17 yard “run-and-reach” to stretch the ball over the goal-line for the final touchdown. “Our mentality tonight was to just win.” said Jackson, “We haven’t beat Wakulla in a long time. Winning this game was all that mattered.”

Happy about the win, Taylor County head coach Shane Boggs addressed his team after the game and stated “We’re going to get smarter”. “It was an unbelievable effort by our defense”, Boggs later said, “I love the physical way that we played.”

FINAL SCORE: Taylor County 24 – Wakulla 6

What started as a defensive struggle turned in to a solid win for the Leon Lions over the Godby Cougars on Friday night at Gene Cox Stadium. Leon jumped out to a 3-0 lead on a 46 yard Sean Allen field goal and never looked back.

Lead by senior QB R. DeVore, the Lions put together a solid running game while defensively frustrating the Cougars offense. Godby’s lone score came from RB J. Covington.
