Playoff Bound!
Port St. Joe had already earned their playoffs spot when they scored a decisive victory over Florida A&M High School on the road Friday night, defeating the Baby Rattlers 57 to 12.
The win improved the Tiger Sharks’ record to 8–2 for the season. They will play the winner of a match up between Wewahitchka and Blountstown in the Class 1R Region 2 semifinal.
Port St. Joe first finished the first quarter 13–0 after Devin Cuttino handed off to D.J. Oliver, who ran the ball 80 yards to the end zone.
The Baby Rattlers answered with a touchdown a few plays later, but were ultimately unable to catch up to the Tiger Sharks, who ended up putting another 44 points on the board before the end of the game.
