Bulldogs snatch win

BROOKSVILLE - The caravan of visiting buses that rolled out of the Hernando High parking lot Friday night was escorted by a couple of squad cars from the Zephyrhills police department. And it was mildly appropriate, because you might say the Bulldogs stole one. You also might say Hernando gave one away. But, semantics aside, one thing is clear: Zephyrhills' two interception returns for touchdowns were the difference in a 21-7 victory.
"Tough defense and just enough offense," Zephyrhills coach Tom Fisher said. "That's the simplest way I can put it."
Though Zephyrhills (3-1) did not appear to have sticky fingers early on - the Bulldogs fumbled twice in the first quarter, once on the Hernando 5-yard line - it eventually forced four turnovers.
With just over 7:30 remaining in the first half, senior defensive back Bryan Thomas picked off a pass at his own 9-yard line and sprinted 91 yards for a touchdown that gave the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead. The pass from Hernando quarterback Kyle Sizemore was a relatively coherent one, but it bounced off wide receiver Brock Byrd's hands and into Thomas' hands.
"I was running behind him yelling, "Get there,"' said Zephyrhills outside linebacker Cannellios Ansley.
Ansley had his own chance in the fourth quarter. With the Bulldogs leading 14-7 and Hernando facing a third-and-14 from its own 11, Sizemore was hit as he delivered a pass, forcing the ball to float off target. Ansley picked it off and rumbled 21 yards for a touchdown to put the Bulldogs up 21-7 with 10:00 remaining
In a game that featured just 298 yards of total offense - Hernando (2-1) out-gained Zephyrhills 156-142 - the score iced it.
"We just gave it away," Hernando coach Matt Smith said.
The Leopards, who committed four turnovers, scored their only touchdown on a 2-yard run by James Thomas with 4:04 left in the third quarter. Sizemore, playing against his old team, was 3-of-13 with three interceptions.

another good night for Thomas...

Bulldogs awaken just in time, 21-14

Ridgewood gives playoff-bound Zephyrhills a fight, but Bryan Thomas intervenes with two TDs.

ZEPHYRHILLS - Ridgewood approached its season finale as a playoff game. Zephyrhills looked as if it was saving itself for the postseason.
The Bulldogs were fortunate to have senior running back Bryan Thomas on their side.
The Division I recruit and Mr. Football nominee rushed for 124 yards and the winning touchdown in Zephyrhills' 21-14 win Friday at Bulldog Stadium.
"It was ugly," said Zephyrhills coach Tom Fisher. "Hopefully, our kids wake up before next week."
In its final tuneup before next Friday's playoff opener at Eustis, Zephyrhills (7-3) rallied from an eight-point deficit to win on Thomas' 50-yard run around right end in the third quarter. Earlier, Thomas scored on a 31-yard run down the left side.
Sophomore running back Byronell Arline rushed for a game-high 172 yards and two touchdowns for Ridgewood (1-9), which played its most complete game of the season. Arline runs of 32 and 6 yards staked the Rams to a 14-6 first-quarter lead, but two fumbled lateral passes ended their final drive.
"The best thing about this game is we got to play a team that's headed to the playoffs so we can measure ourself and where we stand," said Ridgewood coach Chris Taylor. "We start 16 sophomores, and we held right with them, so hopefully we take that now into the offseason and build on that."
