Two former district rivals met each other in a Class 4A regional semifinal on Friday night as the University School Sharks beat the Glades Central Raiders 44-21 at AutoNation Field in Davie. The Sharks will host Monsignor Pace in the second round next week.
Things started out fine for Glades Central(6-4) as they scored on their first possession of the game at 7:03 of the first quarter. Quarterback Davious Richards released a 40-yard pass where wide receiver Jymetere Hester cut from the middle to down the left sideline for a Raiders 7-0 lead.
The momentum would change in the Sharks favor during the second quarter. Quarterback George Bubrick found wide receiver Christian Wells in the front of the end zone on a crossing pattern from 11 yards away at the 8:49 mark to tie the contest 7-7.
The Sharks had a 71-yard punt return for a score by running back Kenny McIntosh negated due to a penalty on the run back at 6:55. University School(8-1) would take their first lead of the game 14-7 with 5:30 left in the second when McIntosh sprinted down the right sideline and scored from 19 yards out.
In the third quarter, the Sharks capitalized on the third play of the second half. Bubrick fired a pass up the middle and wide receiver Zay Flowers raced in with a 58-yard touchdown catch at 10:48. They would add a safety at the 9:50 mark when Joshua Sanguinetti blocked a punt and it went out of the Raiders end zone to make it 23-7.
University School would score again following the ensuing kickoff. McIntosh compiled his second touchdown of the contest as he dashed up the middle on a 29-yard run with 7:00 remaining in the third. The Sharks expanded their margin to 37-7 with 1:35 to go in the quarter. Running back Michael Hurt rushed around the left end from five yards away for the score.
The Raiders would cut the deficit to 37-14 with 53 seconds left in the third quarter. Richards completed a touchdown pass, this one for 71 yards, to Hester for the second time tonight.
The Sharks added another score early in the fourth quarter as Flowers caught his second touchdown pass of the game for a 44-14 gap.
