Island Coast, North drop close spring games
Island Coast fumbled twice deep in Lakewood Ranch territory and lost 20-14 in their spring football game Friday night. The turnovers came on the 1- and 5-yard lines.
“We had some costly mistakes,” Gators coach Joe Bowen said, “but those are things that we can improve on.”
Aaron Lynch and Brian Bosworth led the Gators’ defense. Lynch scored once on a fumble return and made several plays in the backfield. The Gators also scored courtesy of quarterback Mike Dumas’ 30-yard run.
Lehigh 14, North Fort Myers 13: The Red Knights showed improvement, but lost a close one at Lehigh.
One area that seemed to come together was the offensive line, led by tackle Corbin Jackimowicz and center Evan Breyley.
“Our guys played flat,” Red Knights coach Barry Goettemoeller said. “I’m not sure why, but it’s something we have to figure out.”
QB Tre Boston led a 70-yard drive in the second half, capping it with a 12-yard TD run.
