What we learned…

Armwood still has plenty of work left as a team if they’re planning to get back to Orlando, but it’s them and everybody else when they start eliminating the penalties. Alvin Bailey gives them a whole different dimension at the QB position.

Hillsborough is extremely well coached. They noticed two things they wanted to exploit in the Jefferson defense and did it without fail. Came in with a very good good game plan looking for the big play early, then looked to Anthony Brown to pound the ball and control the clock. Won’t lose games by making mistakes … they protect the ball and don’t commit many penalties.

Plant City’s QB Bennie Coney is definitely the “real deal” putting up more than 300 yards last night, as RB Daz Patterson who can’t be stopped. Antwon Armstrong had a great night for the PC defense with 3 INTs off Durant QB Nick Fabrizio.

Lakewood has one of the most athletic, most fiery, and most dynamic defenses in the state. Rodney Adams and Marquez Valdes introduced themselves loudly as players to be talked about the rest of this year and next. Injuries sure can alter a team’s path to glory as key players — Gibbs’ season will be remembered as a “coulda, shoulda, woulda.”

Tampa Catholic’s best play is any play involving Jordan Rich-Rogers. QB Chavarski Corbett is most dangerous when orchestrating play action passes and throwing intermediate routes.

The CCC/Berkeley Prep game is set to be a monster of a match up. CCC has no player like Nelson Agholor, but they do have a group of players that are very talented and productive.
