Friday Night Hits: Playoffs Week 2, Highlights and Scores

THIS IS FRIDAY NIGHT HITS, SPONSORED BY BOB’S AIR CONDITIONING. ON TO THE SECOND ROUND. HELLO, EVERYBODY. ALONGSIDE KRISTEN LAGO. I’M DAREN STOLZFUS. THIS IS FRIDAY NIGHT HITS. WE ARE TALKING REGION SEMIFINALS. IT’S THE SECOND ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS. BUT MUCH MORE THAN THAT. YOU’RE PLAYING FOR A SPOT TO PRACTICE ON THANKSGIVING DAY. CHRIS. YES, I HEAR THAT IS A PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO GET UP AND GO WORK OUT BEFORE YOU EAT A FEAST, BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN, RIGHT? RIGHT. SO IF YOU WIN TONIGHT, YOU DO GET TO PLAY FOR A REGION CHAMPIONSHIP. THAT’S WHAT WAS ON THE LINE. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT OUR FIRST HIGHLIGHTS. WE START IN SEVEN A WORKING OUR WAY DOWN THE DELAND BULLDOGS TRYING TO STAY UNBEATEN AS THEY HOSTED THE BOONE BRAVES TONIGHT. DOGS CAME OUT BARKING GARDNER NORDMAN WITH A RARE DELAND PASS. OH MY RICK DARLINGTON BREAKING OUT ALL THE STOPS. TAHJ MOORE IN FOR THE SCORE SEVEN. NOTHING. BULLDOGS AND THEY WOULD DOMINATE FROM THAT POINT ON A LITTLE BIT LATER. HOW ABOUT THIS. THE HANDOFF TO MARCELLUS CARRY HUGE DAY FOR THE SENIOR ONCE AGAIN UNTOUCHED INTO THE END ZONE 22 THREE. IN THE FIRST QUARTER IT WAS 44 TO 10 AT THE HALF. SECOND HALF MORE DAWGS CARRY BACK AT IT JUST TURNS ON THE JETS ONE IS GONE. THAT MADE IT A 34 POINT GAME EVENTUALLY. DELAND DOES GET THAT RUNNING CLOCK. THEY BLOW PAST BOONE 65 TO 17 WITH MORE FROM THIS SEVEN A REGION ONE MATCHUP. HERE’S ZACH MASKAVICH. YEAH. HEY THERE DARREN AND KRISTEN. THESE BULLDOGS SIMPLY CANNOT BE CHAINED. RICK DARLINGTON’S DELAND TEAM GOES OUT AND DOMINATES FROM START TO FINISH. THE WIN MEANS THEY’RE MOVING ON IN THE PLAYOFFS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY EARNED THE RIGHT TO PRACTICE ON THANKSGIVING DAY. PRACTICING ON THANKSGIVING IS SOMETHING THAT DARLINGTON TOLD KRISTEN AND I BEFORE. THE GAME IS A TRADITION THAT HE HAD TO INSTILL IN THIS TEAM. THE TOP SEEDED BULLDOGS ARE MOVING ON TO THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP, AND THEY’LL BE HAVING CHICKEN AND BISCUITS ON THURSDAY MORNING. IT IS A SPECIAL SEASON, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, NOT A LOT OF TEAMS GO 12 AND ZERO. AND YOU KNOW, YOU TALK ABOUT LOOKING BACK ON THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN YOU’RE OLDER. THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS. THESE KIDS ARE LIVING IN THEM. THEY’VE NEVER BEEN 12 AND ZERO. I’VE NEVER BEEN 12 ZERO. AND SO WE’RE WE’RE ENJOYING IT RIGHT NOW. BUT IT’S SPECIAL RIGHT NOW. WE DON’T WANT TO LOSE. BUT, YOU KNOW, JUST TO EVEN GET THIS FAR IS A SPECIAL SEASON. YOU KNOW, WE STARTED OFF YOUNG LAST YEAR AND I JUST FEEL LIKE COMING INTO THIS YEAR, WE KNEW WHAT WE HAD TO DO. SO I FEEL LIKE WE IMPROVED THROUGHOUT. JUST HAVING LEADERSHIP, IT’S GOING TO FEEL GREAT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE’RE GOING TO HAVE CHICKEN BISCUITS. THAT’S THE THING. FOR OUR THANKSGIVING PRACTICE. ANDY JOHNSON’S BOONE BRAVES FINISHED THE SEASON TEN AND TWO ON THE YEAR. THAT’S THEIR BEST RECORD SINCE 2008. MEANWHILE, RICK DARLINGTON’S DELAND SQUAD KEEPS THEIR UNBEATEN SEASON ALIVE FOR AT LEAST ONE MORE W
