The Park Vista Cobras look for revenge as they travel to northern Palm Beach County and take on the Palm Beach Gardens Gators at Mullinax Ford Stadium on Friday night. Park Vista hosted a Class 8A regional quarterfinal last year and were upset by Palm Beach Gardens 38-28.
Park Vista(6-2) is on the outside looking in as they are not among the final four at-large bids for the Class 8A playoffs in Region 3. They desperately need a win to climb over two schools and get the eighth seed. Since losing to eventual District 10 champion Atlantic, the Cobras have won five straight victories which included three shutouts. They have averaged 46 points per game and outscored their opponents 230-14 in that span.
The first thing to see from the Cobras offense is their passing game. Quarterback John Smith intends to find wide receivers Atorian Perry, Rishon Patrick and Lucas Deininger for receptions. They have options in the backfield with running backs Camron Mann and Nick King.
It has been a tough regular season for Palm Beach Gardens(3-5) with them just about out of playoff contention for a wild-card bid. They have lost four of their last five games. The Gators have had close losses this year to Dwyer, Seminole Ridge, Pahokee, Wellington and Palm Beach Central.
Defensive back and special teams returner Gurvan Hall leads the way for the Gators. Chris Sancilio is at the quarterback spot with running backs Kevon Purnell and Pedro Epps in the backfield. They have a wide receiver core that includes Deonte Cooley, Armani Hayes, Antoine Lane, Jack Hockenson and Ponce Hollowell who can make catches from Sancilio.
