Two dominant backs in Brandt Scott and Hezekiah Davis are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. After each having a week off, the Osceola Warriors and the Jesuit Tigers will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Osceola comes in on five and Jesuit on seven.
Osceola took a 36-point loss the last time they faced off against Pinellas Park, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Warriors came out on top in a nail-biter against the Patriots two weeks ago, sneaking past 23-20.
The critical scores for Osceola came from Scott and Colin Pavlovich.
Meanwhile, Jesuit was fully in charge two weeks ago, breezing past Tampa Catholic 45-7. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won eight contests by 31 points or more so far this season.
Jesuit's win came from a few key players Osceola will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Will Griffin, who threw for 114 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and also rushed for 36 yards and one TD. Jesuit's leading receiver Mikey Vernon was Griffin's top target yet again, picking up 39 receiving yards and two scores.
One reason for the win was Jesuit's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for six sacks. Macho Mendez was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up three himself. Colton Haywood was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making 14 total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Osceola's record is now 7-3. As for Jesuit, their record now sits at 9-1.
