Prime time teams
Bloomingdale: After giving Armwood all it could handle in a pair of losses last year, the Bulls were intent on reversing the outcome. They did it thanks to being opportunistic on special teams, twice rallying in the second to pull out a dramatic 15-14 victory over the three-time defending state semifinalist Hawks.
Tampa Catholic: The Crusaders snapped a five-game losing streak to bitter rival Clearwater Central Catholic with a 35-0 victory that ended up having a running clock in the fourth quarter due to the mercy rule.
Jesuit: Last season, the Tigers started 0-2. This year, they are undefeated after two games. Jesuit kept its streak going by rallying to beat Clearwater 35-21 to exact some revenge for last year’s loss.
Plant City: The Raiders, who went 5-5 last year, showed they are serious playoff contenders after jumping out to a 37-point halftime lead before easing off the gas in a commanding 44-7 win over Riverview.
