With a 2-4 overall record, and 0-1 in Class 6A-6 play, the Land O’ Lakes football team didn’t have much room for error in its Oct. 16 matchup against district foe Springstead.
It wasn’t easy, but the team came away with the win. A 19-17 victory on the road upped the Gators’ record to 3-4 on the year. More importantly, it raised their district record to 1-1, and means they still have a realistic shot at the playoffs.
Land O’ Lakes has two district games left, including what could be an important game against 2-0 Mitchell Oct. 30. Sunlake sits atop the district with a 3-0 mark. Pasco (0-2) and Springstead (0-3) are winless in the district, and the Gators face the Pirates at home next week.
