Every high school football team wants to finish their season at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. Two schools will battle it out there on Saturday night for the FHSAA Class 4A state championship as the Booker T. Washington Tornadoes face The Bolles School Bulldogs. It is rematch from last year where the Tornadoes squashed the Bulldogs 35-7 and won the state title.
Undefeated Booker T. Washington(13-0) are the defending Class 4A state champions and scored at least 40 points in their last six games. The Tornadoes have outscored their opponents 278-66 this season and won every game by at least 11 points. They beat Glades Central 40-18 at home in the regional semifinal, outlasted University School on the road 45-17 in the regional final and easily handled Cocoa 49-10 in the state semifinal.
Quarterback Treon Harris is the focal point to the Tornadoes offense as he can run along with throw the ball on any occasion. They have a balanced backfield with running backs Mark Walton and Krondis Larry who can carry the football past the line of scrimmage. Harris has numerous targets to pass to which includes Terrawn McPhee, Lamar Parker and Deltron Hopkins.
Bolles(10-3) has scored at least 31 points in 12 of their 13 games this season. The Bulldogs have won six of their last seven games after they were held to a season-low 21 points against American Heritage of Plantation. They played their first two playoff games on the road as they took Keystone Heights 32-10 in the regional semifinal and district foe Raines 35-28 in the regional final. The Bulldogs returned home in the state semifinal and powered through with a 44-27 victory over Florida State University.
The Bolles School have a FHSAA-high 11 state titles along with a 75-8 record since 2008. The Bulldogs are expected to run the ball the majority of the time with running backs Dexter Carter and Christian Bermudez. They had a battle for quarterback spot earlier this season between Joey Edden and Alex Luchansky.
