The Palm Beach Gardens Gators challenge the Deerfield Beach Bucks at Butler Stadium on Friday night in a Class 8A regional quarterfinal. It is a rematch of the 2005 Class 6A state title game which the Gators won over the Bucks.
Palm Beach Gardens(7-2) has lost their last two games. They fell to Palm Beach Central 28-14 for the District 10 title and lost to an undefeated Palm Beach Lakes squad 34-14 last week. The Gators have a choice at quarterback with Lynden Moss and Tyler Kolb. The majority of rushing attempts will be done by running back Ernest Blackshear. They have wide receivers Myron Levy and Jabril Jarrett as deep threats.
Deerfield Beach(7-3) comes into this contest with momentum. After a loss to St. Thomas Aquinas, the Bucks got the District 12 title with a 41-0 victory over Monarch and then stomped Hallandale 48-18 last week. Quarterback Derohn King will lead them on offense with Michael Pratt hurt. Running back Jaylan Knighton is expected to get the bulk of the carries from the backfield. Wide receivers Xavier Restrepo, Deajaun McDougle, Bryce Gowdy and Alex Henningham are expected to make pass receptions from King.
