PAHOKEE – The Pahokee Blue Devils had success on offense, defense, and special teams last night (Aug. 30) against the Inlet Grove Hurricanes.
Held at Anquan Boldin Stadium in Pahokee, we got a complete team effort from start to finish in the home squad’s 27-7 victory.
Pahokee (1-1) scored once in each quarter and never trailed in this one.
The first touchdown came from senior running back Rashon Brown, which occurred in the first quarter. Brown’s rushing score helped the Blue Devils get out in front with a 7-0 lead.
In the next frame, we got a touchdown from athlete Uzarus Boswell, who took it to the house off a kickoff return. After Boswell’s special teams score and extra point that followed, Pahokee extended its lead to 14-0 over Inlet Grove (1-1).
With the Hurricanes down 14 points to the Blue Devils at halftime, they were thinking about a comeback run. But the home team did not take too long to extinguish those hopes in the second half.
Pahokee scored again in the third quarter, as junior athlete Larry Warren reached the end zone on a running play. This would extend the home team’s lead further to 20-0.
And after Inlet Grove found a way to cut the lead to 20-7 near the end of the third quarter, it was closeout time for Pahokee.
The game was iced in stone with 6:16 left in the fourth quarter, as Boswell boldly caught an interception to take it home. And with the extra point that followed, Pahokee had itself a 20-point lead that held serve until the final buzzer.
