Miramar (11-0) won the game in the first half, with
quarterback Cam Hudge running for two touchdowns and
throwing for another. Miramar went into halftime with a
commanding 23-7 lead, Cypress Bay's only points coming
on a 60-yard, first-quarter kickoff return for a
touchdown by Montgomery.
Cypress Bay (8-4) found some offense in the second half,
mostly on passes over the middle to Montgomery, who had
80 receiving yards, but Miramar's defense was able to
stop two fourth-down conversion attempts in the fourth
quarter to keep the Lighting out of the end zone.
Miramar outside linebacker Jermaine "Country" Grace was
tasked with stopping Cypress Bay's wing-T rushing attack
— a huge responsibility against a team that rarely runs
up the middle — and he had a stellar performance. Grace
was credited with 11 tackles in the game and seemed to
cover every inch of the field in the process. When Grace
wasn't stopping rushing plays, he was back in pass
coverage, often against Montgomery.
After beating the run-heavy Lightning for the second
time this season, Miramar will host another run-first
team, Palm Beach Gardens, next week. Cogdell said that
he didn't know much about the team to the north, but
that he'd "find out tonight." |
