Football

Lely 28, Ida Baker 26: A valiant fourth-quarter comeback wasn’t quite enough to get the Bulldogs into the next round of the Class 6A playoffs.  Down 28-13 with less than eight minutes to play, Ida Baker got big contributions from its defense, special teams and offense to take the game down to the wire.  Colin Army recovered a Lely fumble and scored with 3:15 to go, although a two-point conversion attempt failed.  The Bulldogs then recovered an onsides kick, setting up Eric Swanson’s 40-yard TD pass to Sebastian Grafmyre with 2:53 remaining.  Army’s fumble recovery TD was the Bulldogs’ second of the game.  Angel Alverio took a Trojans fumble 3 yards for Baker.  Swanson had an 86-yard pass and run to Bo Summersett for the Bulldogs’ first score.  Lely’s first score of the second half, a safety, wound up providing the Trojans with their two-point margin.

Naples 17, North Fort Myers 7: The bad luck of the draw hit hard Friday night when North had its undefeated season end with a Class 6A playoff loss at Naples. Tavin Ward’s 24-yard run and Brandon Bush’s extra point early in the first quarter would be the Red Knights’ only score of the night. Naples had a 10-7 lead at halftime, and salted the game away with a TD in the final minute.  

Estero 19,Cape Coral 7: The Seahawks’ defense held Estero to 13 points, but the offense would manage only Karim Babernitch’s 7-yard run with 3:33 to play. The Estero defense scored on Sage Haislip’s 20-yard fumble return as the Wildcats scored 13 of their 19 points in less than two minutes early in the fourth quarter.  The loss knocked Cape out of the Class 5A playoffs.

Tampa Berkeley Prep 33, Bishop Verot 6: Deaglan Camron’s two field goals provided all the scoring as the Vikings were knocked out of the Class 3A playoffs.

Frostproof 1, Oasis 0: Officially a forfeit by the Sharks due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Oasis advanced in the Class 3A playoffs by a forfeit last week, and had its season ended by another this week.
