It was over before halftime.
The Zephyrhills Bulldogs racked up 28 first-quarter points on their way to a 62-point half against the Fivay Falcons in the team’s home football match-up Sept. 28. They held a 44-point lead at the break, and the teams each added a meaningless touchdown in the second half to end the game 69-25.
Junior Antwione Sims led Zephyrhills with more than 260 yards on the ground and three scores. Quarterback Charles Harrison III didn’t get in much work, only throwing four passes the entire game and completing just two. But he made them count, with both going to senior Jackie Tucker for touchdowns.
The win pushed the Bulldogs’ record to 3-1, and a 2-0 mark in 5A District 8 play. They moved to 4-1 and 3-0 in the district after a 52-37 victory against Hudson Oct. 2. Zephyrhills is averaging nearly 46 points per game, and the team’s district schedule continues Oct. 9 with a road contest against Ridgewood High School.
