North
Broward Hospital District Presents
BCAA GAME OF THE WEEK
Cypress Bay 22 Flanagan 15
|
The defining moment in Cypress Bay football history was made last
year by Lightening Principal Scott Neely. Mr. Neely made the decision
to play their inaugural season at the junior varsity level. The result
was an undefeated junior varsity team that entered this year brimming
of confidence and experience. Who says Lightening doesn’t strike
twice? Four weeks into their first varsity season, the Lightening
are 3-1 after a significant victory over district rival Flanagan
High.
The key to the Lightening victory was a punishing and time consuming
ground game. The Lightening controlled the game clock as senior Chris
Decaro carried the ball a record 40 times for 191 yards. The Lightening
scored first on a blocked punt that resulted in a safety. Lightening
struck twice, as junior Eric Hjartnes blocked a Flanagan punt at
the Falcon's 13-yard line in the fourth quarter. Four plays later,
Decaro rushed into the end zone sealing the Lightening victory.
On a rainy night, the passing attacks for both teams were limited.
Cypress Bay quarterback Cameron Cowart did connect with Scott Urbanek
for an 18-yard score. For Cypress Bay, this win placed them on top
of the 9-6A division. The Lightening are full of confidence and are
now talking “District Title.” And Scott Neely is looking
smarter every day.
