Football
Charlotte 20, Mariner 15: A 15-point fourth-quarter rally wasn’t enough for the Tritons as a brief lead vanished in the game’s final minutes. Tritons quarterback Owen O’Leary connected with Steven Leon Carter Jr. on TD passes of 31 and 38 yards for Mariner (2-5, 0-2 District 5A-10), while a high Tarpons punt snap resulted in a safety. However, having gone from down 14-0 to up 15-14, the Tritons saw Charlotte (4-3, 1-1) drive 80 yards to win the game.
North Fort Myers 42, East Lee County 10: The Red Knights built up a 42-0 lead through three quarters. North (4-3, 2-0) faces Dunbar next week before taking on Riverdale (6-1, 2-0) for the District 5A-13 title.
Cypress Lake 52, Island Coast 7: The Panthers (5-3) moved to 2-0 in District 3A-13, while the Gators fell to 0-8, 0-2.
Glades Central 14, Bishop Verot 12: Two-team District 2A-10 went to Glades Central (7-0, 1-0) as the Vikings came up short in a defensive struggle. Bishop Verot (3-4, 0-1) had a field goal and a safety, good for a 5-0 halftime lead. The Raiders scored twice for a 14-5 lead in the fourth quarter. Verot’s touchdown was a Macrae Thompson run set up by a 35-yard Aiden Gonzalez pass from Austan Cristiaan.
