Despite having leading rusher Dazmond Patterson leave the game in the third quarter with a minor leg injury, Plant City overcame a furious comeback by East Bay and scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:05 left on the clock.
East Bay was able to rally by scoring two unanswered touchdowns to tie it at 36. The second of those scores was a 42-yard run by Quantavious Gibbs.
On the next drive, however, Plant City, led by quarterback Bennie Coney, drove down the field and took the lead for good with a 1-yard touchdown pass from Coney to senior receiver Lamarlin Wiggins.
Patterson was a big reason the Raiders took the lead into halftime, scoring three touchdowns (on runs of 1,16 and 4). He finished with 11 carries for 117 yards.
Coney completed 11-of-17 passes for 180 yards and three touchdowns, two of which were to Wiggins.
