BCAA Game of the Week 4: Plantation 52 - Dillard 14

Move over Blanche Ely Tigers, the Plantation Colonels have laid claim to the #1 ranking in Broward County with a dominating win over the state-ranked Dillard Panthers.

The Colonels offensive attack was once again led by the dynamic running duo of Georgia Wells and Shane Osbourne. Each back ran for more than 150 yards – and for the second weak in a row, the Colonel ground game amassed over 400 rushing yards. With back to back victories over Boyd Anderson and Dillard the Colonels are the front-runners to win the competitive District 7-6A classification.

In route to their victory, the Colonels were dominant in every phase of the game. Taking advantage of a Dillard fumble, the Colonels scored first on a Ruebin Robinson 14 yard touchdown run with 11:14 remaining in the first quarter. On their next possession, the Colonels demonstrated their offensive balance as quarterback Richard Armchir connected on a 34-yard TD pass to Cedric McGee.

And the route was on.

The Dillard Panthers played poorly on both sides of the line of scrimmage. The Colonel offensive line had their way with the bigger Dillard defensive front, and the Dillard lineman found themselves time and time again beaten to the punch by the quicker-trapping Colonel offensive line.

The Colonels domination of Dillard was a clear signal to the standing room only crowd of 5,000 at PAL field as well as all of Broward County that Plantation football is ready to challenge for supremacy in the state of Florida.
