PAHOKEE — Something special is brewing out there in the Muck.
A week removed from a double-pass 'Hail Mary' that lit the national sports world on fire, Corian Davis once again led Pahokee to victory.
This time, it was in blowout fashion. This time, the 33-3 lopsided win against an upstart Benjamin squad carries a different kind of meaning.
Pahokee proved they were back last year. This year's start shows the Blue Devils are here to stay.

How can Palm Beach County high school football possibly follow last week's drama?
Pahokee, Cardinal Newman and Palm Beach Lakes delivered some of the state's best games with victories in Week 2. The Blue Devils defeated Royal Palm Beach on a 75-yard trick-play touchdown, the Crusaders blocked a last-minute extra point to win and the Rams dropped 58 points in a west-coast shootout.
Somehow, we have to turn the page and begin again in Week 3 with a slate that is yet again extremely promising.

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.
