Forest Hill and Palm Beach Lakes are an even 3-3 against one another since October of 2014, but not for long. The Forest Hill Falcons will be playing in front of their home fans against the Palm Beach Lakes Rams at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams are strolling into their matches after big wins in their previous games.
Forest Hill is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Friday. They breezed by Leonard at home to the tune of 44-0. The Falcons pushed the score to 36-0 by the end of the third, a deficit the Lancers had no chance of recovering from.
Josiah Hansen was the offensive standout of the game as he rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Hansen wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Forest Hill was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 278 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Leonard only rushed for 45.
Forest Hill wouldn't let Leonard keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Forest Hill can thank Joseph Floreal and Ernest Jones for forcing both of them.
Meanwhile, Palm Beach Lakes had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They blew past Coral Springs, posting a 41-13 win on the road.
Palm Beach Lakes had a senior duo take command as Christopher Holmes rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries and Anthony Palmer gained 132 total yards and two touchdowns. Holmes' longest rush was for an incredible 80 yards. Another player making a difference was Quentin Williams, who threw for 99 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
Forest Hill won a matchup that couldn't have been any closer in their previous meeting back in November of 2020, slipping by Palm Beach Lakes 27-26. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Palm Beach Lakes' Antonio Outler, who rushed for 172 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry. Now that he won't be playing on Thursday, will it be easier for Forest Hill to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
