Pride Varsity remains undefeated
The Tiny Mites started the Pride’s slate of game Sept. 22 with an 18-6 win over the visiting Jacksonville Ravens. Elijah Denson rushed for 180 yards, including scoring runs of 40, 45 and 55 yards. Defensively, Brogan Kelly had two sacks and five tackles for loss.
The Mighty Mites bounced back from a loss a week ago with a 27-0 victory. Isaiah “Big Boy” Derrick’s long touchdown run, along with Luke Bentley’s touchdown pass to Nicholas Antoine, led the way on offense.
The Pee Wee team lost 14-0, for its second loss of the season. The team had a chance to tie the game up with under two minutes left, but turned the ball over on downs.
The JV Pride won 31-18, thanks in part to two rushing touchdowns from Darious Toby and one rushing touchdown by Wyatt Denslow, who also added an 85-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
The Pride Varsity remained undefeated with its 28-7 win over the Star Ready Gators, who were also from Jacksonville. Elijah Rone had two rushing touchdowns, and quarterback Denzel Houston ran and passed for a score.
