Flagler Palm Coast rolled up 445 yards of offense in a 42-0 shutout of Atlantic on Sept. 10 at Sal Campanella Stadium.

Senior Dakota Wagner seemed fully recovered from a hamstring injury, rushing for 184 yards and three touchdowns.

D.J. Murray, splitting time with Preston Roberts at quarterback, tossed two touchdown passes including a 43-yarder to Landon Gonzalez.

Gonzalez caught four passes for 102 yards. Jason Browning led the defense with 10 tackles. Trenton Williams had an interception.

The Bulldogs (2-0) begin their district schedule with a home game Friday, Sept. 17, against powerhouse Sanford Seminole in a battle of undefeated teams. The Seminoles (3-0) have outscored their opponents 135-6 this season.

Matanzas heads into district play

Matanzas fell to 1-2 with a 27-6 loss at Deltona on Sept. 10. The Pirates' lone score came on Dakwon Evans' 20-yard touchdown pass to fellow sophomore Cole Hash. Deltona's defense forced two turnovers and recorded three sacks.

Matanzas returns home Friday, Sept. 17, for a district contest against Gainesville (2-1). Gainesville has struggled on offense, scoring just 29 points in three games. But the Hurricanes have allowed a combined nine points in wins over Orlando Bishop Moore and Ocala Trinity Catholic.
