THE DIFFERENCE: Wesley Chapel continued to use a balanced attack on offense, collecting 253 yards on the ground and 201 yards in the air. Wildcats quarterback Greg Jenkins threw for four touchdowns (24, 19, 18 and 62 yards). In contrast, Hernando stuck with its ground game until midway through the fourth quarter. Running back George Fridley was held to 88 yards on 13 carries, with his longest gain of 20 yards coming on the Leopards' opening drive.

GAME NOTES: Jenkins threw for 171 yards and ran for another 66. With the game decided by halftime, the Wildcats focused on their ground game, burning up the clock in the second half. Micah Johnson had three catches for 89 yards and Lionel Rayford pulled in two passes for 64 yards. Keenan Reynolds and Ray Rouch rushed for 67 and 51 yards, respectively.

STAT OF THE GAME: With only three completed passes by the Leopards, the Wildcats defense was able to focus on stopping the run. The Wildcats forced six incompletions and had two interceptions. Wesley Chapel's defense also forced four fumbles, recovering one.

QUOTE OF THE GAME: "The defense didn't blitz me much and my OL gave me lots of time, so our receivers were able to get open for some long gains. That helped to open up our running game and keep them off balance the entire game." - Jenkins.
