Lake Mary's running back went down early in the first quarter to a vicious hit. But that does not explain Boone scoring 38 on them after they blanked Mainland the week before.

Right. Maybe they were looking ahead or underestimated Boone. Who knows but it was definitely a shocker

Seminole exposed weakness on the right side of their secondary in the final five minutes of their game a few weeks ago when they came back from a 14 point deficit to win. Mainland failed to throw the ball effectively against LM and did not exploit it. Boone kept throwing in that area and picked up TDs and big yardage. Another thing Boone did effectively after watching video of the game, is this: Rather than running the ball up the gut against LM or trying to get the ball to the (edge) sidelines and running it from there, Boone's QB would pitch the ball out to the running back in space after looking like he was going to throw downfield. This caught the LM defense flatfooted a couple times and Boone took full advantage. 

This game was the total opposite of the Mainland game. Against Mainland, LM looked like they had a monster defense. Against Boone, their defense looked suspect for a state title contender. LM had over 500 offensive yards in this game. Boone must have had close to 500 as well. 

With LM's defensive weaknesses exposed, it should be interesting to see how Mandarin approaches their rematch next week. Also, if LM's running back, Isiah Thomas is not able to return (sadly, he looks like he may have sustained a bad injury although I can't say for sure), LM's running game is severely impacted as the backup they used is not nearly as good. 

I have still picked them to win this upcoming week and still feel they have the offense to get them to state and maybe win it all, but all of a sudden they are looking a lot more vulnerable.
