After a long season as the No. 1 team in the DigitalSports National Football Rankings, Booker T. Washington capped off their incredible run with a 40-21 victory against Bolles High School in the Class 4A Florida state final on December 7.
The two teams played it close in the first quarter, Washington taking a 7-6 lead. The second quarter was all Tornadoes, as Treon Harris found Terrawn McPhee and Deltron Hopkins for two of the three touchdowns Booker T. scored to take a 28-6 halftime lead. Harris, a Florida State commit, finished with 226 yards and two touchdowns passing 15-of-27.
Not stopping there, Krondis Larry opened the third quarter up with a 45-yard touchdown rush just over a minute in. Sophomore Mark Walton led the running back corps with two touchdowns of his own on 15 carries for 124 yards.
Washington’s defense was also stunning throughout the game. Bolles averaged 38 points per game going into Saturday’s game. Still the Tornadoes stopped the Bulldogs from gaining any offensive momentum throughout the game.
All over, Booker T. Washington played flawless football. With the season coming to a close, Washington can head into the offseason as Florida’s state champions and the best team in the country.
