Kings Academy was able to score on their first two possessions of the first contest. Quarterback Justin Wake connected a 37-yard touchdown pass up the middle to Drew Luchey at the 9:14 mark of the first quarter. Wake threw an 18-yard pass to wide receiver Cory Corteau on the right side of the end zone at 4:58 to make it 14-0.
The Panthers started a drive deep in their territory late in the second quarter. A bad snap went over the quarterback and it was recovered in the end zone by Corteau for a touchdown with 2:20 remaining.
The Lions would get the ball again on a three-and-out by the Panthers. They scored on a third-down play when Wake found wide receiver Jeremiah Scroggins all alone on the left sideline with no defenders near him as he walked into the end zone with a 61-yard touchdown reception with 52.3 seconds to go in the first half.
TKA got the ball first in the third quarter and they struck quickly to make it a 35-point cushion. Wake released the ball deep down the left sideline, Croteau was able to get under it and sprinted in for a 61-yard strike at 10:35.
The Everglades Prep offense finally showed some life on their next drive when wide receiver Kevon Holmes caught a 58-yard pass in the middle and took it to the Lions 12-yard line. Three plays later, quarterback David Jeter faked a handoff, ran a bootleg to the left side and scored from five yards away at the 5:52 mark.
The Lions brought in their reserve players in for the fourth quarter, which had a running clock. D.J. Alexandre rushed through the right side of the line and reached the end zone from five yards out with 8:40 remaining in the contest.
