A Season-Best Effort from Joshua Lleo Leads Doral Academy over Southwest
Doral Academy was led to victory by Joshua Lleo, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Lleo rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.

Jayson Lopez Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Jayson Lopez produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Doral Academy to the win on Thursday. Lopez rushed for 87 yards, and also threw for 82 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 74 yards.
For the season, Lopez has thrown those 2 touchdowns (and no picks) while averaging 23.4 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 31.37
Southwest had to settle for second on Thursday, but Derrick Ferguson sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the defeat, Ferguson was still balling out as he rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 66 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Southwest is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-6. Ferguson and Southwest will look to defend their home field on Friday against Coral Gables at 7:30 p.m.

Marcus Antelo Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Thursday, Doral Academy got the W thanks in part to Marcus Antelo playing the best football he has all season. Antelo picked up 82 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Antelo might have his next game, a road matchup with Miami, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Antelo saw the Stingarees), he picked up 115 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
