A Season-Best Performance from Rasheem Turner Jr. Leads Seminole over the First Academy
On Friday, Seminole had to settle for second even though Rasheem Turner Jr. put up the best numbers he has all season. Turner Jr. wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks and making 11 total tackles. The game was his eighth straight with five or more total tackles.

Isaiah Thomas Dazzles in Lake Mary Win
Isaiah Thomas was instrumental in extending Lake Mary's winning streak to four on Friday. Thomas did his part (and then some), rushing for 66 yards and a touchdown, while also catching a touchdown for the 'W'.
If history really does repeat itself, Thomas might just drop another big game when he faces off against Lake Brantley on Thursday. When Thomas last faced the Patriots back in September of 2023, he picked up 132 receiving yards and a touchdown.
