Land O’Lakes – Sunlake’s defense set up three short touchdown scoring drives of 10, 25, and 38 by forcing River Ridge into six fumbles (four lost) under very wet field conditions in a 28-0 victory. Seahawks’ defense was led by senior inside linebacker Austin Yeloushan (four tackles-for-loss, sack, fumble recovery which led to last Sunlake score), sophomore outside linebacker Cris Galdos (two forced fumbles, fumble recovery that set up Sunlake’s first score, and a sack), and senior defensive lineman Ruben Botto (two tackles-for-losses and a fumble recovery to set up Sunlake’s third score).

Offensively, Sunlake got contributions from senior quarterback Dayton Feiden (4/8, 67 yards including a 29-yard touchdown shovel pass to senior wide receiver Terrence Jackson late in first half and a 9-yard touchdown scramble to open the Seahawk scoring midway in second quarter), sophomore backup quarterback Justin Hall (4/8, 78 yards including 2 third quarter passing touchdowns to senior tight end Will Alvarez 4-Yarder and junior wide receiver Nick Valdes 9-Yarder), and senior running back Nathan Johnson (78 All-Purpose Yards, 65 Rushing). Terrence Jackson would end the night with two catches for 53 yards and senior wide receiver Naejaun Jackson added three catches for 57 yards.

River Ridge got contributions on special teams by one of Florida’s 2013 top returner, senior Trevor Duke with three kickoff returns for 84 yards including a 57-yarder in second quarter, and a blocked field-goal attempt by sophomore linebacker Jacob Berg.

On defense, the Royal Knights were led by safety Trevor Duke (two tackles-for-losses, two pass defended) and junior defensive back Tyler Grimes who on Sunlake’s first drive from River Ridge’s 21-yard line after another fumble recovery had a pass defended near goal line, a tackle-for-loss, and a fourth down stop on a fake field-goal attempt.

River Ridge’s junior running back Chris Schwarz had 118 yards rushing, 59 of which came in fourth quarter with the game out of reach.
