ST. PETERSBURG - A week after seeing its usual stout defense give up three fourth-quarter touchdowns in a loss to Lakewood that snapped a 15-game regular-season win streak, Largo's defense righted itself in dominating Dixie Hollins on Friday night.

The Packers held the host Rebels to 98 yards of offense and only 28 yards in the air. The lone Dixie Hollins TD came a play after Largo fumbled on its own 8.

Defensive back Myrick Gwyn intercepted a pass midway through the second quarter, returning it 37 yards for a score and a 19-0 Packers lead.

Largo defensive end Lucas Kelly had a monster game. He had four sacks (one shy of the school record), a blocked extra point, a fumble recovery and 10 solo tackles.
