Palmetto survived Braden River

[Legion37]

While watching Lakeland roll to a running clock, I was keeping up with scores from all around, in my neck of the woods Manatee rolled but,

 

Braden River led Palmetto by 21-3 before Plametto scored enough late to escape 24-21

Local fish rag called it a wake up call...

I watched the game on Tiger Vision on Youtube. Palmetto was very lucky to pull this game out. Very sloppy play and Palmetto's body language didn't show much confidence in the first half. The Palmetto defense clamped down in the second half and the offense did just enough to pull this one out. I still think they are final four bound, but I can't see them winning against one of the heavyweights once they get there.

JMO, rematch games are tough

There was some talk about a 4-6 Braden River should not have been in the playoffs over a 6-4 Sebastian River team,  despite the loss,  I think the RPI system got it right this time.
 

Having seen Sebastian in person, I think they would have gotten blasted by Palmetto, at least Braden River made it a competitive game.
