After graduating 23 seniors last year, the Tarpons weren’t up to their 10 game pace of recent seasons. SK doesn’t post weekly scores unless he feels the team is playoff caliber. But this was an intriguing game and may have backed Charlotte into the playoffs as District runner up at 4-1.
The PC Coach, after his loss to North Ft Myers immediately said they’d see the Red Knights again in the playoffs. The PC QB guaranteed a win tonight. Neither proved any good at predictions.
The Charlotte QB, who came over from PC in the summer after seeing he wouldn’t get a chance to start, said of this game, “I just want to show them they made a mistake by not playing me.” He proved very good at predicting.
The Pirates came into the Fish Bowl cocky, flags flying. Like last year, they led at half, 14-7. They were a little undisciplined and had the ref's flags flying with personal fouls, including an unsportsmanlike, after their last score to tie the game at 21-21. Marked off on the kick-off, Charlotte got a good return then our Q hit a bomb down to the 10. Timeout with 2 secs left, and the Tarps hit the FG for the 24-21 win.
It got a little ugly on their sideline with pushing and shoving. One of our coaches trying to keep players back, caught a punch. Their staff decided to forgo the handshake and got them over to their endzone. They looked like a couple of their players were fighting amongst themselves. A shame, because it was really a great game between two evenly matched teams.
