North
Broward Hospital District Presents
BCAA GAME OF THE WEEK
Plantation 21 St Thomas 3
|
On the opening kick off a pack of wild Colonels buried the St Thomas
kick off returner at the Raiders 27-yard line. On the first play
from scrimmage, the Colonel defense stuffed the Raider running back
for no gain. The Colonels came out hitting; it was a good omen. Led
by middle linebacker Nick Williams (#45) the Colonels' defense dominated
the Raider offense, holding the Raiders to only three points.
Last year the Plantation offense was ranked #2 in Broward County
amassing over 387 yards per game. However, on a rainy night at PAL
field, the Colonels sent a clear message to BCAA teams that the its
defense is fast, strong and dominating. The defense held St Thomas
to less than 100 yards rushing and forced two turnovers.
St Thomas got on the scoreboard first with Scott Svarney kicking
a 28-yard field goal with 1:44 left in the first quarter. The teams
traded possessions until late in the second quarter when Colonel
quarterback Darrel Strong made the play of the game. Strong hit receiver
Woodney Strong along the sideline for 42-yards to the Raider 8 yard
line. Ricardo Curry knocked in the score for Plantation with a 3-yard
run. At half time the score was 7-3.
The second half saw the vaulted Plantation running back give shift
into high gear. Both Colonel running backs Travorous Bess and Ricardo
Curry ran for over 100 yards. The Colonels sealed the game in the
fourth quarter on a sensational 10-yard throw by Strong. Strong rolling
to his left threw a bullet across his body, finding Cedric McGee
alone for the score.
