Boynton Beach 20, Olympic Heights (1-4) 0
The game was cancelled at the half because of a light malfunction. It didn’t end soon enough for the Lions though. Olympic Heights dropped its fourth game of the season. The Lion’s defense was not up for the task and their offence didn’t look smooth at all. The Lions had only 39 total yards, that’s rushing and passing combined! The Lions defense gave up 202 total yards to a Boyton Beach team that came out of the gates hot with a quick rushing touchdown by Dieujuste.
West Boca (1-4) 7, Dwyer 52
The Bulls were routed by one of the best teams in the state. In the first three quarters it was all Dwyer as they ran up the scoreboard 52-0. West Boca managed to score one touchdown on a 20 yard pass but that was all.
Glades Central 23, Boca Raton (1-3) 7
In the first game after firing head coach Keith Byars, one thing is for sure, Byars was not the problem. The Bobcats continued their losing ways giving up 361 total yards and three touchdowns. The Bobcats’ offence looked weaker than a peewee football team. Their offense managed 78 passing yards and negative one rushing yards. At the beginning of the season, the Bobcats looked poised to make the playoffs, but now it looks like in November their student-athletes can once again focus in school.
Spanish River (3-2) 14, Atlantic High 70
After a hot three game winning streak start, the Sharks are looking more like the old Spanish River. Lossing two games in a row, the Sharks look to bounce back next week. But, for this to happen, their defense needs to step up. Giving up five touchdowns will not help you as you look for W’s.
Benjamin 16, Pope John Paul II (1-4) 15
The Eagles were on the short end of yet another nail-biter last week. The Eagles lost by only one point and their offence looked good. With 206 rushing yards with one touchdown, and another passing touchdown, the only think the eagles couldn’t do was hold Benjamin when it was nessesary. Look for the Eagles to bounce back in the next game.
Boca Christian (0-4-1) 7, Palmer Trinity 33
The Palmer Trinity dynamic duo of Omachanou and Peterson connected on all four touchdown plays as Plamer Trinity routed a Boca Christian team that has yet to see a win this season.
St. Andrew’s (2-2-1) 7, Coral Springs Charter 16
This was simply a bad week for Boca Raton high school football. Despite having 120 total yards, St. Andrew’s could not hold up and beat Coral Springs Charter on the road.
