The Pahokee Blue Devils challenge the Glades Central Raiders in the annual Muck Bowl at Effie C. Grear Field in Belle Glade on Friday night. Pahokee stopped an eight-game Muck Bowl losing streak to Glades Central last year with a 27-14 home victory.
Pahokee(6-2), who are currently first in Class 1A in Region 4 of the FHSAA playoff point standings, look to have home-field advantage in the first two rounds of the playoffs. They went on the road last week and were blanked by the defending Class 3A state champion Cocoa 45-0. The Blue Devils have beaten large schools in Palm Beach County that includes Palm Beach Lakes, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach Gardens and Seminole Ridge.
Even though Akeem Dent transferred to Palm Beach Central earlier this year, the Blue Devils have clicked well offensively with Deonte Nelson at quarterback. Running backs Jatarie Washington and LeVonski Williams will see action from the backfield. Wide receiver Tyler Gilbert is the primary target for passes from Nelson.
Glades Central(6-2) visited West Palm Beach last week and topped Cardinal Newman 40-24. The Raiders recently landed the fourth and final seed of Class 4A in Region 4 in the playoff point standings to be eligible for the upcoming FHSAA playoffs. After a loss to Oxbridge Academy, they have been riding a four-game winning streak with victories over Lake Worth, Boynton Beach, American Heritage and Cardinal Newman.
Quarterback Davious Richards can threw short bullet passes and has a style of play different from his predecessor James Blackman. Richards is expected to find wide receivers Dejuan Miller, Jymetre Hester, Kamare Stephens, Odieu Hilaire and Mohammad Shatara all over the field. Running back Steve Barrett will got most the carries along with an occasional rush by Waymond Jones.
