Pensacola drops tough District 1-3A game to Bay without their coach
The elation Pensacola High’s football team experienced a week ago from a breakthrough rivalry win switched Friday night into the other end of the emotional spectrum. Playing without their head coach, Wade McKinney, suspended for one game by the Florida High School Athletic Association, the Tigers couldn’t thwart Panama City Bay on its final time-consuming drive, as the Tornadoes produced a touchdown with 38-seconds left for a 28-24 win at Jim Scoggins Stadium. Bay (5-1, 2-0 District 1-3A), now in the driver’s seat in District 1-3A, used an 11-play, 76-yard drive, capped by senior Kayden Turner’s 1-yard run for the game-deciding points. The Tornadoes got the ball with 6:02 left after PHS (2-4, 0-2 District 1-3A) lost a fumble at the Bay 26 while attempting a game-sealing drive. “It’s heartbreaking, the guys fought as hard as they could, but just couldn’t keep (Bay) out,” said assistant head coach Blake Atteberry, the PHS offensive coordinator who filled in for McKinney as head coach.

Friday night at Tommy Oliver Stadium, the Dolphins dismantled Lincoln 35-7 for a homecoming victory to improve to 6-0. Week 6 football predictions News Herald Panama City-area Week 6 football predictions Local golf North Bay Haven golf team eyes fourth straight district title Mosley was so dominant that it had possession of the football for basically the entire first quarter, scoring on a Samuel Chisolm 2-yard rush. The only play they did not have the ball was Lincoln's first offensive play, which off a high snap resulted in a safety for the Dolphins, who quickly went up 9-0.
