PAHOKEE — With the game on the line, Pahokee coach Carlos Lammons put the ball in the hands of a middle schooler.
Quarterback Braylon Peterson, an eighth-grader for all of two weeks, directed a 91-yard drive in the fourth quarter and ended it with a 5-yard scoring pass to wide receiver Sam Harrigan to give the Blue Devils a dramatic 26-21 victory over Dr. Joaquin Garcia on Aug. 21.
Showing the poise of a senior, Peterson was 5-for-6 for 44 yards on the drive, including a crucial fourth-down completion to wide receiver Jacaris Jones.
"Those moments are what young quarterbacks probably dream of," Lammons said. "I'm super proud of him. I think it was a huge thing for his confidence."
The Bulldogs, who rallied from a 20-0 deficit to take a one-point lead after three quarters, appeared to have the game in hand when punter Adrian Labrador fielded a high snap and got off a 48-yard kick that was downed at the Blue Devils' 9-yard line.
