Glades Central Chops Palm Beach Gardens

     The Glades Central Raiders came across county and outscored the Palm Beach Gardens Gators 55-26 on Friday night at Mullinax Ford Stadium. Both squads were winless entering this game. 

     It was a matchup between two known Palm Beach County football programs that captured FHSAA state championships in the past. The Gators won their only state title in 2005 while the Raiders last took a state championship in 2006. 

     After a scoreless first quarter, the Raiders scored touchdowns on consecutive possessions to lead 14-0. The Gators answered back with a score on their next drive, however Glades Central(1-2) responded with another touchdown for a 21-7 lead late in the second quarter. 

     Glades Central hosts the Royal Palm Beach Wildcats next Thursday. Palm Beach Gardens(0-3) will remain at home next week in a District 12-5A clash with the Seminole Ridge Hawks.
