Seminole

The Seminoles squared off and scored often at home against the Mainland Buccaneers in this edition of Flashback Friday Football. The Seminoles played a strong ground game spread across multiple players for 214 rushing yards in this matchup. The Seminoles started strong with back-to-back touchdowns in the first quarter to quickly put them up 14-0.

Sanford Seminole four-year starting quarterback Timmy McClain was asked to do a little bit of everything during his swan-song season. The lone returning starter on offense entering his senior year, McClain rose to the occasion as both a passer and rusher while leading his team to the Class 8A state championship during an unbeaten 12-0 run. “We found different ways to beat teams throughout the season, and for Timmy to do what’s best for the team and kind of mold with us along the way says a lot about his skill set and mental fortitude,” said Seminole coach Eric Lodge.

Sanford Seminole’s Eric Lodge hit the high school football trifecta in his first season as a head coach. Lodge, 31, was named overall Florida Dairy Farmers football coach-of-the-year Wednesday morning. The honor comes on the heels of an undefeated regular season that concluded with a Class 8A state championship.
