Bartow football ends season in FHSAA first round; 3 observations

OVIEDO — Bartow High School football entered Friday's FHSAA Class 5A first-round playoff game against Oviedo High School on the road as underdogs. But the local school truly played until the last whistle to show that the program is headed in the right direction under head football coach Grady Morrell. Still, the Yellow Jackets fell 57-30 to a more talented team to end the season at 6-5. "Hats off to a great program. Oviedo scores a lot of points early and often. A lot of ability on that side of the ball. We had to try to match those guys and it got out of hand when we couldn't figure out how to play inside the box and stop the run. We came into the game stressing to stop the pass, and they got some good receivers, but they came out with running backs that toted the pill," Morrell said after the game. Here are some takeaways from Friday's contest. Bartow had a chance at this point Yes, Oviedo's running back got the lead to 22-3. But thanks to Bartow senior quarterback Amire Hall's 5-yard swing pass and touchdown to senior running back Brayden Scott, the Yellow Jackets were right

Lakeland linebacker Charles Calhoun aims to make statement in playoffs

LAKELAND — If defense indeeds wins titles, Lakeland senior linebacker Charles Calhoun couldn’t be happier with that responsibility. He certainly knows what it’s going to take on his part and his defensive teammates as the postseason run begins, especially beginning against Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas on Friday. “We got to come out, dominate,” Calhoun said. “We got to hit them in their mouth first. You can't let them hit us in the mouth. This whole week we've been practicing hard, you know what I'm saying, working hard, getting it in, so we got to come out, hit them in the mouth first, play 48 minutes of tough football.” Lakeland renews its rivalry against St. Thomas Aquinas in the first round of the Open Division playoffs at 7 p.m. in Fort Lauderdale. Lakeland has the overall edge in postseason matchups, but the Raiders have won the last two meetings with shutout wins in the championship game. For Calhoun, it’s his first time facing the Raiders as he transferred from Auburndale to Lakeland for his senior season. With Lakeland graduating its top three linebackers from last season, there was a void to be filled at that position, and Calhoun stepped into
