Coral Reef scored with eight seconds left to defeat Southwest, 21-20, Thursday night at Southridge Stadium. The Barracudas (6-1) led 7-0 after the first quarter before the Eagles (3-5) evened the score on a 2-yard run by Derrick Ferguson. The touchdown was set up by a 45-yard pass from Aiden Leone to Artavis West on third-and-34. Kamari Alexander recovered an onside kick and, four plays later, Ferguson's 26-yard scamper put Southwest up, 14-7. Reef's next drive was ended by an Alexander interception and the Eagles maintained their lead at halftime. After a scoreless third period, the Barracudas tied the game with 5:54 left on a 2-yard run. Southwest needed just four plays to drive 72 yards to take the lead on a 6-yard Leone to West pass. The kick failed and that turned out to be the difference in the game. The Cudas then moved 60 yards in 2:39, scoring on a run on fourth-and-goal from the two. The extra point gave them the win.
