PALM BAY 12, FORT PIERCE CENTRAL 0 (Game Suspended Q2)

BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – Palm Bay will try to maintain its momentum against Class 7A football powerhouse Fort Pierce Central when the two teams resume play at 6 p.m. Monday at Palm Bay High School.

The Pirates forged a 12-0 lead midway through the second quarter before lightning strikes in the area forced a delay of 1 hour, 32 minutes before the coaches and referees decided to postpone the game until Monday.

“Coach (Dan) Burke and I were in favor of waiting it out,” Central coach Josh Shaffer said. “Individual safety was more important.”

Leroy Berry ran to the left and broke one tackle as he cut to the middle for a 4-yard touchdown run with 6:48 remaining in the second quarter to give Palm Bay a 12-0 advantage. Caleb Alves just missed grabbing a two-point conversion pass from quarterback Brian Fallace.

Palm Bay had taken possession at the Central 37-yard line when Sekai Lindsey intercepted a pass by quarterback Sam Vaughn.
Pass interference was called on Fallace’s pass to Alves on first down, moving the ball to the Central 22.

Bashad Parrish ran to the left for 4 yards, and Berry followed with a 12-yard run to the left and a cut to the middle for a first down at the 6. Brandon Moon ran 2 yards to the right on first down to set up Berry’s scoring run on second down.

Central’s J.J. Stevens fielded the ensuing kickoff by Derylton Hill at his 8-yard line and cut to the right sideline for a 35-yard return to the Central 43. A flag was thrown on the play, but the referees did not officially announce the penalty as the warning alarms sounded to curtail play due to lightning strikes in the area.

The Pirates (1-0) took advantage of a costly turnover by the Cobras (1-0) in the first quarter to score their first touchdown. James Gilbert’s 33-yard punt was fumbled by Roody Cleriser at the Central 12, and Le’troy Wolters recovered the ball at the Central 10 with 6:04 to play in the first quarter.

Berry, who rushed for 57 yards on 12 carries during Friday’s abbreviated action, ran 3 yards to the right on first down. Pass interference was called on Fallace’s pass down the right sideline on second down, and the Pirates were given a first down at the Central 5.

B.J. Ross ran up the middle for 4 yards on first down, and Parrish followed with a 1-yard scoring run on the ensuing play to give the Pirates a 6-0 lead. A bad snap on the point-after attempt forced an errant pass, which fell short of the end zone.

“Palm Bay was very physical,”‘ Shaffer said. “We had self-inflicted mistakes. You can’t play a great team and kill yourself like that. We’ve got to understand that against Palm Bay.”

Central, which lost 13-10 to eventual Class 7A state champion Bradenton Manatee in the state quarterfinals last year, edged Palm Bay 17-14 in overtime last year in Fort Pierce. That game was delayed for two hours because of lightning.

TITUSVILLE @ HERITAGE

Heavy rains then ensued and the game was called off and rescheduled for 6 p.m. Monday at Heritage High School.
