It was a game that could have gone either way for sure, however listening to Coach Pinellas leading up to the game he certainly felt this is how it would play out and never underestimated your squad.  Instead, I continually pointed out on this board that I felt if anything folks were over ranking us due to last year's results and we weren't that team yet most on this same site picked us to win.  I do believe the seeding system is flawed and felt for our Region we deserved the #2 seed but didn't do enough at seasons end to get it.  Not questioning the officiating, but you gotta admit the most electrifying play of the game was with under 2 minutes with you holding on to a 19-13 lead, the 35 yard run made by Alijah "Flash" Jenkins for a TD that was called back.   It was an unbelievable run starting as a jet sweep to the right sidelines before juking a couple of would-be tacklers, then cutting completely across the field spinning out of a couple more tacklers then headed towards the left endzone pilon.  Normally, you would see the flag thrown as he started the run to get the edge but it never came out until he had pretty much done everything I described and was clearly gonna score when the official back at the LOS threw it just before he broke the goal line.  That would have tied the game late and hung in the balance of the PAT for the win.  I didn't see the hold and have no instant replay to confirm at the same time saying it could very well have been the case. I do agree with you that Armwood is on a different level than either of us. 

Moore Haven vs Northview canceled. 7-2 

A defensive game? Very rare for the playoffs this season. This might be the highest scoring FHSAA High School Football in many years. There have been many games with a least 75 points scored between both teams so far.  

Great recap MarkECannon. 

Was great seeing you again. What a defensive game. As we talked before the game, I said we would have to beat you through the air as I felt that Osceola would control the ground game. Malik Holman was able to rush for 157 yards, probably the hardest fought yards of his career. But through the air is where the difference was with Tre Kelly passing for 233 yards. There was a lot of back and forth in this game. Both defenses made critical stops. We lost the turnover battle and were abysmal on special teams. Usually when you loose those areas you loose the game. I do not feel EP did or Osceola as well did,  But a most everyone looked past us and way under estimated who South Lake is. I dont have Osceola's stats to compare but I would guess total yards will be similar. As we all know Armwood is a different animal!
