Leesburg took care of business in their home opener on Friday (and then some). They took their contest at home with ease, bagging a 54-0 win over the University Cougars. Given the Yellow Jackets' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 91st, while the Cougars are ranked 479th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Leesburg's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Lamar Garrison, who picked up 133 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Xavier Irizarry was another key passer, throwing for 172 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 passes.
Leesburg's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Camden Blackburn and James Benton. Blackburn's also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making two total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging two interceptions which he returned for a touchdown.
Leesburg will challenge Wildwood at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. As for University, they will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on Dr. Phillips at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
