Ahmad Crumity and Co. Win 19th in a Row
Ahmad Crumity was instrumental in extending Shorecrest Prep's winning streak to 19 on Friday. Crumity turned in his biggest game of the season, picking up 124 receiving yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 36 yards and a touchdown. His receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 108 receiving yards dating back to last season.
Shorecrest Prep pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season. Crumity and Shorecrest Prep will face off against Hernando Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.

Nickolas Bearden was instrumental in extending Shorecrest Prep's winning streak to 19 on Friday. Nobody could stop Bearden as he threw for 182 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 passes, and also rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.
Sports Leadership & Management's probably not too fond of Bearden given he always seems to get the better of them. When Bearden last faced the Spartans back in October of 2023, he rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 116 yards and three touchdowns.
