15-4. Survive and advance!

Unofficially this is the scenario before the South Dade/Goleman game    If South Dade wins…….. @muckboy561 and @Joshua Wilson are eliminated. @Holy Moly will advance   If Goleman wins…… @muckboy561, @Joshua Wilson and @Holy Moly will all be tied, so Muckboy and HolyMoly will be eliminated due to being lower seeds. 

That is exactly what South Lake did on the scoreboard. The stats tell a quite different story. Here are a few Tre Kelly 230 Yards passing (2 td's) 69 rushing (1 td) Malik Holman 258 Yards Rushing on 37 carries 6.97 / carry. This was a hard fought down hill battle.  Isaiah Pena 5 for 136 receiving South Lake put up 595 yards in offense but struggled in the red zone, mostly self inflicted, penalties and our lone fumble, was a great strip on their part. Thank god we have a kicker, Even with 1 field goal blocked, he hit from 32, 42 and 44 This was a defensive game with regulation ending in a 15-15 tie. 3 overtimes later, South Lake having the last possession of the 3rd overtime. We decided to go for it all after Plant went offsides on our extra point attempt. Malik Holeman took a direct snap and walked in for the game winning 2 point conversion. First home playoff win for us since 1995, (so I was told) Ray, I always wanted to line up against the Kowboys when I was at Poinciana, but was never able to have that opportunity. This should be a good matchup next Friday night. Cant wait to sit and talk for a few minutes before the game if I can find you. Coming to South Lake has been one of the best decisions for me even after being the head coach at Poinciana for 5 years and 10 years invested in the program. South Lake is (17-5) since I have been there for 2 years, also 2 playoff berths.  Working with this staff is incredible. Coach Lord has really put together some great minds and coaches to make this turn around at South Lake.  As to your comment that South Lake is weak, no offense taken. We love that people look over and through us. The lack of respect in some of the media as well. I have been around a lot of football and this team is special. We will see how the cards fall. 

Well I finally met Dillardboy tonight at this game.  I thoroughly enjoyed watching it with him even though it didn’t turn out like we would have hoped.  The truth is after Planation went up early Dillard was in control from then on taking a 14-13 lead at halftime.  The play of the game happened late in the 3rd with Dillard was inside red zone when a Plantation DB  intercepted and took it 90+ yards to the house.  In the 4th quarter Dillard once again was in the red zone.  Instead of kicking the field goal they go for it on 4th down.  The pass to a wide open receiver was too low to catch.  Give credit to Plantation.  The final score was Plantation 21 Dillard 14.  Plantation has a nice team.  They took the early lead before Dillard woke up.  Dillard coaches, players and fans will have to ask themselves for a while what happened. BTW, Dillard’s band is for real.  Their halftime show was done with class.  If you told me they were a college band I would believe you.  They sound was clear and spot on.  

LAZ obviously wasn't impressed by a 10-0 record against one of the weakest schedules in the entire state.  The outcome was predictable and I feel for our Dillard friend who had such high expectations while ignoring the obvious.  Think I've seen this movie before.
