Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Clearwater). They blew past the Gulf Buccaneers, posting a 50-3 win. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Tornadoes' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 81st, while the Buccaneers are ranked 289th).
Jaylen White continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, throwing for 281 yards and five TDs while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushing for 100 yards on only eight carries. His passing game has become a key predictor of Clearwater's success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise. The Tornadoes' leading receiver Isaiah Berrien was White's top target yet again, picking up 130 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Clearwater was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 323 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Clearwater's defense stepped up as well, laying out Curtis Scriven. three times. In that department, Maurice Bryant was the leader with two sacks.
The victory made it two in a row for Clearwater and bumps their season record up to 4-2. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 38.0 points over those games. As for Gulf, they now have a losing record of 2-3.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Clearwater will take on Lake Wales at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams might be coming in a bit winded given these two teams combined for 1,010 yards in their previous games. As for Gulf, they will face off against Sunlake at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Buccaneers will need to watch out since the Seahawks have now posted at least 31 points in their last three games.
