THE DIFFERENCE: The visiting Bulls pounded out more than 500 yards of offense for their first varsity win.

GAME NOTES: Both teams entered the game at 0-8 and neither team had a senior on its roster. The Bulls offensive playbook was simple - hand the ball off and let the backs run over the undersized Seahawks defense. The Bulls were led by Chris Lewis, who averaged 17 yards every time he touched the ball. The Sunlake fans had plenty to cheer about, too, as the home team scored a season-high 20 points. Running back Mike Staver electrified the crowd with a 72-yard kickoff return for a TD. QB Chris Harrington had his best game of the season, throwing for 86 yards, including a 27-yard touchdown to Corey Wegener.

STAT OF THE GAME: Lewis had a career game, running for 294 yards and catching three passes for 88 yards, scoring four times.

QUOTE OF THE GAME: "I've had a lot of great teams in my 28 years of coaching and this is one of them. Starting off with eight losses, our kids could have given up, but they stayed the course. It will pay off." - Wiregrass Ranch coach Ricky Thomas
