CB James Scott (official thread)

texas, usc, miami, michigan and psu. I wonder who's slate that is?<!-- / message -->

If he came to Columbus and stayed four years, as a minimum he'd play against:

Washington
USC (twice)
Miami
Michigan (four times)
Penn State (four times)

If he redshirted his freshman year and then stayed a total of five, bump the Miami total to two...

Nothing specific about James, but the Crabs are 3-0.

Seabreeze comes back, secures 3-0 start

By BRIAN MCLAUGHLIN
Prep editor

JACKSONVILLE -- It might have been a long road trip, but it was a happy bus ride home for the Seabreeze Sandcrabs.

The 'Crabs, who received votes in this week's Class 4A state poll after opening the season with two impressive wins, traveled up to Jacksonville Sandalwood and posted an impressive comeback to knock off their 6A counterparts, winning 17-9.

The Sandcrabs upped their record to 3-0 as the being play in grueling District 7-4A next week at Merritt Island. If preseason is included, this is Seabreeze's fourth straight win over a 1-6A opponent.

Seabreeze was down nine points at the half, but went ahead for good on Kenny Fraser's 27-yard field goal with four minutes left in the game. To ice the win, junior quarterback Troy Dannehower rattled off a 64-yard touchdown run to give his team the cushion with about a minute remaining.

Fraser moved up from junior varsity before last week's FPC win, and after nailing a couple extra points late against FPC, the junior claimed the kicking job this week.

"It's so great, just the way it boosted the morale," Fraser said. "It's the best moment of my life. I just practice as much as I can . . . so that I could do my best when I got moved up."

Dannehower started the game despite a mild concussion sustained last week. He came into the game leading the Volusia-Flagler area in passing with 327 yards second in the area in rushing with 245 yards. He was up to his old tricks Friday, rushing for 146 yards and two touchdowns, while passing for another 100 against the Saints.

Sandalwood had a 73-yard touchdown run called back in the third quarter, which the Sandcrabs' coaching staff felt was a turning point. Defense by Mitch Little and Ricky Schwarz, among others, was a key in the win.

"We were just able to throw the ball a little bit better in the second half," Seabreeze coach Marc Beach said. "We won it all with heart and didn't give them much to work with."

Seabreeze had amassed just 54 yards of offense in the first half.

Sandalwood (1-2) began its scoring late in the second quarter, breaking a scoreless tie. With six minutes remaining in the first half, the Saints took advantage of a punt that sailed over Seabreeze punter John Gainey's head out of the end zone, putting the first two points on the board on a safety.

Fumbles victimized the Seabreeze offense in the first half. The 'Crabs were close to scoring twice in the first half, but turnovers bit back. On the 'Crabs' first series, a fumble was the problem, and then an interception in the final minute of the half was the issue late.

Meanwhile, Sandalwood found the end zone with under three minutes remaining in the first half, when Raheem Ivey -- who has drawn interest from Division I-A schools Cincinnati and N.C. State as a linebacker -- caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Albert Neavins.

Backup quarterback leads Sandcrabs over Bulldogs
By TONY JONES
Staff Writer DELAND -- Most high school football teams would feel more than fortunate to have one good quarterback. Seabreeze has two.
On a night when Troy Dannehower sat out with a lingering head injury, Will Saffen stepped up to lead the Sandcrabs to a 26-20 win over DeLand before a packed homecoming crowd at Spec Martin Stadium.
Saffen, a senior with a big right arm, proved to be more than functional in the Seabreeze spread offense, as he threw for three touchdown passes and managed the game like an expert.
"Will played very well," Seabreeze coach Marc Beach said. "We played pretty well on defense, but we still had some dumb penalties at the end of the game, and it's tough to close a game out with selfish plays. But this was still a good team effort."
If Saffen was solid, Leroy Houston was downright spectacular. The junior back caught all three of Saffen's touchdowns as he amassed 105 yards receiving. He also rushed for 61 yards on 15 carries.
The Sandcrabs (4-1) led the whole way, taking a 6-0 lead when James Scott returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown.
Neiko Pate tied the score on a 2-yard plunge for DeLand (2-2), but Seabreeze took over from there. Using superior speed, the Sandcrabs scored two unanswered touchdowns to take a 20-6 lead into halftime.
The Bulldogs, using a bruising ground game, pulled to within 20-13 early in the second half, but Seabreeze had an answer for everything DeLand threw its way.
If the Bulldogs blitzed, Saffen dumped a pass to Houston in the flat and let him go to work. When DeLand tried to rush three down lineman and drop eight back into pass coverage, Saffen repeatedly found receivers roaming wide open in the middle of the defense.
"We have to run at the ball more," DeLand linebacker Calvin Sutton said. "They made too many key plays. We really have to tighten up this week."
In a game that featured many big plays, the Bulldogs made none of them. They forced two turnovers, both on interceptions, but they then gave those turnovers right back.
On a night when they needed Pate's running brilliance, the junior hurt his left leg in the first half and sat out the rest of the game.
And when they needed a passing game to offset Seabreeze loading the box with nine defenders, they weren't able to deliver.
As a result, DeLand saw a ton of opportunities to get back into the game fall by the wayside. The Bulldogs turned the ball over four times -- two interceptions, two fumbles -- and they allowed Seabreeze to convert on a number of third-down chances in the second half.
"This hurts a lot because it's homecoming for us," Sutton said. "But when we look at it, we'll move on. This wasn't a district game for us, so we have to just come out and play better next week."

Seabreeze spoils homecoming at DeLand
Leroy Houston scores TDs on the first 3 times he catches the ball in the 26-20 win.

Posted September 23, 2006

DeLAND -- A week after losing the guy who had provided most of its offense to injury, Seabreeze found another route to the end zone Friday night.

Leroy Houston, a slippery junior running back, scored the first three times he caught passes out of the backfield as the Class 4A Sandcrabs (4-1) won 26-20 at 6A DeLand (2-2).
"I had to step up real big tonight," Houston said after the win put a damper on DeLand's homecoming. "They got the ball to me and it was successful."

Seabreeze had put the ball mostly in quarterback Troy Dannehower's hands until he suffered a concussion last week in a loss at Merritt Island. But the Sandcrabs aren't a one-man show as long as they have Houston and James Scott -- two of Central Florida's quickest players.

Scott, a senior who flies out this morning for a recruiting trip to Ohio State, opened the game with a 95-yard kick return touchdown.

After DeLand pulled even at 6-6, Houston took the game over with two TDs in 54 seconds. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound junior finished with 63 yards on 16 carries and 107 yards on five receptions from backup quarterback Will Saffen. Saffen was intercepted twice, but also completed 8 of 16 passes.

DeLand's big offensive line cleared enough room for another productive night by its dynamic duo of junior halfback Nieko Pate (13 carries, 60 yards) and sophomore slasher Michael Gillislee (15 carries, 96 yards). But the Bulldogs turned over the ball five times, had a punt blocked and played from behind most of the night.

The 'Dogs executed a fake punt and then scored with 58 seconds to go, but ran out of time after Seabreeze's David Williams cleanly handled an onside kick attempt.

It warms my heart to see you posting about Daytona Beach football. God I miss that place sometimes...
