Broward Hospital District Presents
BCAA GAME OF THE WEEK
Taravella 18 Coral Springs 16
|
Once upon a time, J.P. Taravella High was everybody’s homecoming
queen…until Perry Schneider showed up on the scene. There’s
a new attitude at Taravella, an attitude of winning, playing hard
and competitiveness. Last year, coach Schneider, in his first year
as Trojan Head Coach, led Taravella to their third playoff appearance
in school history. The
Sun-Sentinel recognized Schneider as the best
coach in 2003. Trojan football is back.
The Trojans, behind the kicking of Zach Nelson, pulled out a hard
fought game over archrival Coral Springs High. Zach sealed the Trojan
victory with a 45-yard field goal with 5:20 left.
The Coral Springs vs. Taravella game is nicknamed the Mayor’s
Cup – The Battle of Coral Springs.
The Trojans were led by quarterback Ken Latessa, who threw for 162
yards, including a 70-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Anthony
Heard
Taravella trailed the Coral Springs High Colts 16-9 entering the
fourth quarter. The Trojans pulled within two after a one-yard run
by Heard. The Colts fumbled on the next possession and Trojan defensive
player Vin Nobi recovered the fumble at the Colt 32. Seven plays
later, Nelson kicked the winning field goal.
The win was very satisfying to the Trojan team. The previous week
the Trojans lost a tough game to Blanche Ely 27-14. The Trojans now
come to play at every game. Who says coaching doesn’t make
a difference?
