Overview
- West Boca Raton beat No. 23 American Heritage 24-7 on Friday, Aug. 21, in Plantation, Florida, handing the Patriots a road loss that surprised national polls.
- Senior quarterback Trey Moran finished 13-of-20 and accounted for three touchdowns, including a 58-yard scoring pass to Lorantae Davis and a 1-yard rushing TD that pushed the lead to 21-0.
- The Bulls' defense did not allow a first down until midway through the third quarter, forced multiple turnovers and held the Patriots largely in check for more than 30 minutes of game time.
- Key situational plays decided the game, including a mishandled punt snap that set up a West Boca field goal and Max Reid’s interception with about nine minutes left to preserve the margin.
- The win sustained coach Dylan Potts’ program continuity after last week’s loss and has immediate effects on state and national pecking order discussions and recruiting attention.
