ST. AUGUSTINE – For the second straight week, the Sebastian Eagles walked off the field victorious this time with a 18-12 win over Fruit Cove at Pomar Field.
After a near two year winless streak, the Eagles have won two in a row and now are in great position to make the playoffs.
First things first though, Sebastian (2-2) travels to Landrum next week, seeking its third straight win.
Liberty Pines 6, Pacetti Bay 0
JULINGTON CREEK – For the second straight week, the duo of quarterback Riley Trujillo and wide receiver Ethan “Video” Miller turned out to be a deadly combination again.
Locked in a scoreless battle, Trujillo found Miller along the ride sideline and Miller out ran the lone defender for a 45 yard touchdown reception giving Liberty Pines a 6-0 lead.
Little did they know that would be it.
Gamble Rogers 42, Valley Ridge 7
HASTINGS – Gamble Rogers remained undefeated on the season with a convincing 42-7 homecoming win over Valley Ridge.
The Stingrays used a balanced offensive attack to defeat the Hawks.
Quarterback Noah Lawless threw for one touchdown to tight end Frankie Morabato and also ran for another.
Runningbacks Tomas Jones, Zander Martin and Brady Dugan all had rushing touchdowns. Tristan Metych, Mason Roche and Julian Quintero had two point conversions scores as well.
Morabito caught two touchdowns passes one from Lawless and one from Jones in the second half. Chase Anderson, Quintero and Dugan all had receptions in the win.
The Stingways were led by a strong defense line from Gavin Losco, Jared Howard, Eyan Deckle and Chase Dentmon, while Quintero had two interceptions giving him four for the season.
Linebackers Chris Soto, Kani Harris and Devin Blocker also assisted for the Stingrays; while Benjamin Harris and Quintero manned the secondary.
Defensively, the Stingrays pitched their fourth straight shutout as Valley Ridge only score came on a third quarter pick six play.
“It was a great win,” Gamble Rogers head coach Matt Potak said. “Everyone contributed and played good football. We are excited for next week.”
Gamble Rogers (4-0) takes on Swiss Point (3-1) next week at Plantation Park in a rematch of the 2017 St. Johns County Middle School Athletic Association championship game won by the Stingrays.
