Definitely LG.  I wouldn't have guessed that outcome in a million years especially with all the chatter about which team will run the city of Lakeland.  Maybe that the shot in the arm the Braves need.  Better to lose early than late.

Oh, my ultimate surprise of the week goes to Madco.  If a few missing players means you can't score and stop the opponent from scoring, they don't need to play up in class.

I was also surprised your team Lakeland beat Clearwater by that much. Thought it would b tighter.

Nease and Atlantic Coast beat Ponte Vedra and Mandarin respectively to break long losing streaks to rivals 

[Hwy17]

Haines City ended their losing streak

I’ve seen a couple clips of them. Agree. Pretty athletic.

Yes. Good wins. Nice to see.

Down south how about Carol City 40 Goleman 36. 
I know it’s not the best CC team but Goleman is steadily improving.

That game is historically a blowout

Agree  Goleman had a good chance for the upset.

Also worth noting Lakeland was without its best LB, and its two best DBs were really hobbled, one played sparingly. Clearwater is probably better than people realize.

Looks like the Dreadnaughts stacked & ready this year.

Given how bad last season went, it's hard to make any big claims. But, it sure does seem to me like they are pretty loaded, certainly with more depth than I can remember. They certainly have several big games upcoming to prove if they're really back.

In another post, it says that Treasure Coast beat American Heritage Plantation. If this is accurate, that would be the upset of the week. TC is a solid 8A team and was able to sneak a win over VB in the recent past. But a win over AHP is a whole new level of success. Could be that unfamiliarity with the single wing offence did AHP in.

Yep they did. 8a is just stacked this year. I thought with the Studs on D, the Pats were the best team in Broward. Great win for the Titans.

AHP losing to Treasure is shocking. 

 

Hillsborough blowing out Steinbrenner is not really that shocking.

Wakulla lost to Ed White 20 - 13.  Wakulla was missing 9 players this week...I guess with covid contact tracing in play it's going to be like this every week.  From week to week you don't know who's going to be missing and what team you're going to be fielding.  Add 6 turnovers to missing players and you can usually count on a loss. lol

& I’m thinking the Commanders are off to a great start. Still are I guess. We better start putting asterisk * after each game.....

What is pretty shocking to me is Buchholz defeating Dunnellon 35-0 at Dunnellon. Dunnellon went 10-2 last season and was in the playoffs with mostly Juniors and Sophomores. They defeated Vanguard twice and North Marion en-route. This season they have mostly the same players and a Senior laden team. All I can say is Buchholz must be pretty damn good to do that to Dunnellon. Dunnellon's Sr QB Trent Townsend had only 32 passing yards the entire game.
