#1 Byrnes Knocks of Two-Time Florida Champ

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle

Byrnes (Duncan, SC) showed a nationally television audience on ESPNU why USA Today has it ranked #1 in the nation Friday night as the Rebels dismantled two-time defending Florida Class 2B champ Pahokee 38-12.

Not to make excuses, but Pahokee, which saw its 32-game win streak snapped, was playing with a heavy heart over last week's shooting death of linebacker Norman Griffith. Griffith's family traveled to South Carolina for the game to support the team that dedicated game in Norman's memory.

Top Ranked Byrnes Faces Florida Champ

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle

Not that the Pahokee (FL) Blue Devils needed extra motivation heading into it's game against Byrnes (Duncan, SC), the #1 team in the USA Today Super 25, but they definitely have it.

Pahokee, which has won four of the last five Florida Class 2B state titles, are dedicating tonight's nationally televised game on ESPNU to Norman Griffith, who was killed last weekend in a shooting after a dance.
