There's no place like home for Atlantic, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They walked away with a 34-25 win over the Coconut Creek Cougars on Thursday. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 27th, while the Cougars are ranked 109th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
A big part of Atlantic's victory came down to the chemistry between Lincoln Graf and his top target Teddy Hoffmann. Graf threw for 266 yards and three touchdowns while Hoffmann picked up 63 receiving yards and three touchdowns. A healthy portion of Graf's aerial production (82 yards to be exact) also went to James Jones.
Atlantic pushed their record up to 9-1 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 40.0 points per game. As for Coconut Creek, they now have a losing record at 4-5.

Atlantic will be playing in front of their home fans against Mater Academy Charter at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Atlantic's defense has only allowed 12 points per game this season, so Mater Academy Charter's offense will have their work cut out for them. As for Coconut Creek, they are taking a road trip to challenge Blanche Ely at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
