Watched this online Saturday, and while Palmetto generally was in control of this one, the score remained relatively close.
With a number of big ways along the way, Largo was able to take the lead. Palmetto had the ball down to the Largo 25 yard line, clinging to a 16-14 lead. A Largo freshman defender however forced a fumble, and Largo subsequently recovered with just over 7 minutes left in the game. That same Largo defender then took a hand-off from the RB position on the very next play between the tackles and went 80 yards for the TD to put Largo out front 21-16.
Largo squibs the Kickoff and Palmetto muffs it, and Largo recovers. It's looking really bad for Palmetto at this point. Palmetto defense forces Largo to punt and Palmetto now has the ball at its own 10 yatd line with 4:50 left in the game. On a double pass play, Palmetto scores a TD and then gets the 2 point conversion to take a 24-21 lead with 4:38 left in the game.
Palmetto kicks off and Largo's got the ball with 4:31 left in the game. Largo turns the ball over on downs to Palmetto at the Largo 28 with a little over 3 minutes left in the game.....(Palmetto just needs to run the clock out). With less than a minute left it appears Palmetto gets a 1st down, but a penalty negates that and Palmetto turns the ball over to Largo on down at the Largo 25 with 52 seconds left in the game. Largo completes a long pass and run for another long TD play to take the lead with 19 seconds left in the game
.....and we have ourself a 1st round upset.
