LAKELAND | Rafeal Pressley had 252 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns as the Lakeland Christian Vikings defeated Tenoroc 35-27, before 651 on a rainy night at Vikings stadium.
The game was delayed by an hour due to lightning and heavy rain in the area, but that didn't stop the Vikings from taking a 21-7 lead into halftime.
"I read my blocks and felt good," Pressley said."
Even though the Titans outgained the Vikings on offense 374-282 in yards, it was the big plays by Pressley and the rest of the Vikings that did them in.
Pressley scored on an 80-yard touchdown run up the middle with 6:39 remaining in the second quarter to put LCS up 14-7. He bounced off two defenders and broke three tackles on the run.
Tenoroc quarterback Victor Smith got a big run of 66 yards with 49 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Two plays later he threw a touchdown pass to Darius Frasier for five yards with 18 seconds left in the game. The onside kick was recovered by Dalton Joiner for the Vikings.
