Rudock sets mark in victory - MiamiHerald.com
Plantation 27, South Plantation 13: In a game filled with big plays, it was Plantation's defense that provided the big second-half stops in its victory over cross-town rival South Plantation in earning the Plantation's Mayor's Trophy at the Plantation PAL.
More importantly, with the Class 6A playoff spots on the line, the victory gives the Colonels, 5-4 and 2-2 in District 10-6A, a shot at a playoff spot in Monday's three-way tiebreaker with South Plantation (4-4, 2-2) and Western, a 40-0 winner over Piper.
"We really don't have long to celebrate this,'' Colonels coach Steven Davis said. "We put ourselves in the tough position that we're in now in having to play that tiebreaker, but we made the defensive stops today that we were missing early in the season when we needed them late in the game.''
With Plantation clinging to a 20-13 lead, South Plantation made one more attempt to tie the game with 1:23 remaining when linebacker Jerome Harris made a big hit on South Plantation's Rashad Kelly, popping the ball up in the air. Safety Jeremy Cash took the air-born ball for the game's only takeaway and raced 30 yards to the end zone for the clinching score.
