FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2015
Plant City Orange won the tournament Saturday, Sept. 19.
GAME / PAGE 20 has put together a formidable pass rush in 2015. The unit currently boasts 17 sacks, led by sophomore Jonathan King (six) and junior Paul Taylor (4.5). On offense, junior quarterback Trent Wyatt lost the starting job to sophomore Cyrus Wade, who completed five of 10 attempts for 133 yards and two touchdowns in his first start last week. The ground game, led by sophomore running back Levi Jackson’s 222 yards and five touchdowns, has led the way for the offense. Still, the offense has proven that it can make some noise every so often. It scored 41 of its 47 points in the first half of last week’s game, including a 27-point second quarter. Crest (0-4; 0-1 district) is coming off of a 49-6 loss at Plant City (3-1; 1-0 district) last Friday, in which the Chargers gave up five rushing touchdowns and two passing scores.

PLANT CITY The Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (3-1; 1-0 district) offense has opened up, averaging 31 points in its three consecutive wins. Star running back Markese Hargrove played through what appeared to be a minor injury in last Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 49-6 blowout, but still scored three touchdowns. This week, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in Gibsonton to take on an East Bay team reeling from that big loss to Durant. WHERE: East Bay High School, 7710 Old Big Ben Road, Gibsonton WHEN: 7:30 p.m.

IN OTHER AREA ACTION: DURANT No area team is hotter than the Cougars (4-0; 1-0 district), who most recently dropped a 34-14 hammer on East Bay (2-2; 0-1 district) to kick off district play. This week, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll travel to Ruskin to face Lennard (3-0; 0-0 district). The Longhorns got a bye in Week 2, so this will be their district opener. Someone is leaving the stadium with their first loss of the season Friday. Down the road, this game could set the tone for who wins the district.

Team captain Billy McKay says that it was definitely worth getting up before 8 a.m. on a Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My freshman year, I was a part of the Raider Buddies program,â&#x20AC;? McKay says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know a lot of Raider Buddies. I just wanted to come out here and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hey,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; to them, umpire a couple of games for them and have some fun.â&#x20AC;?

softball field for warm-ups, and gave them some playing tips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some kids, out here, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not as privileged to learn how to actually throw the ball and stuff like that,â&#x20AC;? McKay says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We taught them how to throw, catch, field ground balls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stuff like that.â&#x20AC;? Plant City Orange, Plant City Teal and the Lakeland Eagles played a series of matches. The Orange team came out on top. The Eagles finished in second place and won the final game of the day. Fryrear says that the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in the competition was a good sign of things to come for the future. Offseason team-building activities, such as working with Special Olympics, brings the players together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the best team chemistry Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had,â&#x20AC;? Fryrear says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adding this aspect, and more, to it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been unbelievable. These guys are excited to get to the field. Whatever opportunity they have here, like Special Olympics, they want to show up.â&#x20AC;? Contact Justin Kline at jkline@plantcityobserver.com.
