Boca Ciega fans better hope the squad plays one heck of a game on Friday as the odds are decidedly against them. They will head out on the road to face off against Gaither at 7:30 p.m. ET. Both teams have allowed few points on average (the Pirates 15.2, Gaither 13.3), so any points scored will be well earned.
Boca Ciega came up short against Clearwater last Friday, falling 28-18. Boca Ciega might have lost, but man -- Chris Phillips was a total machine. He rushed for 218 yards and three TDs on 20 carries. Phillips has been a guy to keep an eye on this season; he's played big for Boca Ciega in each of their last five games.
Meanwhile, Gaither came up short against Armwood, falling 14-0. Chance Coleman wasn't much of a difference maker for the Cowboys;.
Since the offense as a whole struggled to get points on the board, Gaither's defense had to pick up the slack, and it made life painful for the quarterback and embarrassed Armwood's offensive line for a total of seven sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Asa Vanburen and Mario Eugenio, who each racked up two sacks.
These two teams will surely be fighting tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses last week. Find out which team record gets a tune-up and which team falls into a funk by watching the game and checking back on MaxPreps for the full scoop.
