Bucks Stadium, Deerfield Beach, Florida, was the setting for the District 8A-11 Championship Game last night and the Deerfield Beach Bucks made a statement beating the Piper Bengals and taking the District Title 38-0.

Both teams came into the contest unbeaten in District play. The Bengals were undefeated in overall play and the Bucks only loss came early in the year to the Bolles School from Jacksonville and then they went on to win a huge victory against St. Thomas Aquinas (#3 Nationally Ranked at that time) at home setting the stage for their remaining games.

The tone of the game was set early on the first possession when the Bengals, on their own 15 yd line, went for a fake punt  and were stopped at their original line of scrimmage. Bucks offense, led by QB Teddrick Moffett, Jr., took over and Moffett quickly put 6 points on the board getting into the endzone pulling the ball on a zone read and taking it to the corner for the score. On the ensuing Bengal possession (inside their own 20 yard line) the Bucks defense line shut down the Bengals offense creating another punt situation. This time the Bengal’s got the punt off but it only traveled 10 yards. Deerfield Beach took over possession and immediately scored again going up by 14 with 7 minutes still left in the first quarter. With a lot of Bengal miscues it got lopsided quick and the Bucks to advantage putting up 38 points (with 14 called back on penalties).

This was the first real test for the undefeated Piper Bengals this year against an explosive Bucks team loaded with D1 prospects. The young Bengals QB Fraser learned early that you have to tuck the ball away and not throw up any floaters or there’s going to be turnovers, and there were plenty, giving an already powerful team more shots at the end zone.

Like we stated in our pregame story, if QB Moffett was given too much time in the pocket he was going to put up a lot of points and he did. Coach Glenn had already named Teddrick Moffett one of the four Impact Players for the game as well as the team’s Scholar Athlete with a 3.7 GPA and 24 ACT and HSPN SPORTS™ awarded him the ‘Player of the Game’ with a total of 3 TD’s, 1 rushing and 2 passing with 120 total yards. Moffett actually threw for almost three times that much, with a couple more TD’s, but they were all called back because of holding penalties…

The Bucks dominated on every aspect of the game, get rid of those costly penalties and they should have great success going into the playoffs. And it’s not over yet for the Bengals. If Coach Coleman can get the young QB to learn from his miscues and get his team to learn from last night’s loss to understand that this is the level they will have to play at to be contenders they still have a shot going into the playoffs.
