Prime time teams
Gaither: The Cowboys were calling this their statement game and they certainly made one by applying constant defensive pressure to exact revenge from last year’s loss to beat Armwood 17-10.
Bloomingdale: The Bulls also got some payback by routing Lakeland 39-14. It is Bloomingdale’s first win against the Dreadnaughts since 1983 and puts the Bulls in a position to be the top team coming out of the ultra-competitive Class 7A, Region 3.
Cambridge: The Lancers dealt with a coaching change and the loss of a few players who transferred during the offseason. Still, under new coach Chad Walker, they have thrived and are now one of the frontrunners to get through the Class 2A, Region 3 bracket after knocking off Carrollwood Day 14-11.
East Lake: After starting 2-3, the Eagles have won three straight after beating Leto 43-20. That gives East Lake some much-needed momentum heading into this week’s game against Pinellas Park.
Pinellas Park: The running game is starting to click. And the pass rush has been relentless. It all adds up to a two-game win streak in which the Patriots outscored Sunlake and Sickles by a combined 69-7.
Zephyrhills: After an 0-2 start, the Bulldogs have won four straight, the biggest coming against River Ridge (35-24) on Friday that would have clinched a district title for Zephyrhills if there was one this season.
