The Boone Braves will take on the Oviedo Lions at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few points on average (Boone 13.2, Oviedo 2) so any points scored will be well earned.
Boone's offense might be in the hot seat on Monday considering what happened against Gateway on Wednesday. They lost 26-0 to the Panthers. The Braves' defeat signaled the end of their four-game winning streak.
Meanwhile, Oviedo put another one in the bag on Tuesday to keep their perfect season alive. They never let Seminole get on the board and left with a 14-0 win. Given the Lions' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 40th, while the Seminoles are ranked 277th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
The critical scores for Oviedo came from Alyson Scharf and LILY MCCASLIN.
Oviedo didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Seminole to a completion percentage of just 31.8%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from three players: ALIYAH WAHL, KAITLYN FALK, and JADA JOY, who each logged one passes deflected. Oviedo wasn't nearly as limited: they posted one of 52.6%.
Oviedo's defense didn't let the opposing QB, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for four sacks. KIARA HERNANDEZ was especially locked on to Seminole's QB and sacked her twice. HERNANDEZ has been hot for a while, having posted two or more sacks the last 16 times she's played.
