Friday's other football results and highlights

No. 2 Bayside 47, Kellam 38

In a game that featured 952 yards of total offense , the Marlins held on to earn the No. 2 seed in next week’s Division 6 playoffs.

Beach District champion Bayside (9-1) hosts Landstown in next Friday’s Eastern Region quarterfinals.

The second-ranked Marlins looked to be a heavy favorite against Kellam (4-6). But the Knights dished out plenty of “nothing-to-lose” attitude. Kellam ran several trick plays, onside kickoffs and fake punts to match Bayside throughout.

Kellam finished with nearly half of the total yards with 427.

“This was a big wake-up call for us,” said Bayside receiver Demetrious Nicholson, who caught touchdown passes of 84, 37 and 77 yards. He finished with five receptions for 198 yards and picked off two Kellam passes.

“They gave us a whole lot more than we expected.

“I’m just glad we pulled this off.”

Bayside running back Lamar Jordan surpassed 1,000 yards for the season, finishing with 178 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries.

Bayside quarterback Deion Stitt had another big night, completing 9 of 11 passes for 347 yards and five TDs.

Besides the three scoring tosses to Nicholson, he hit Jordan for a 35-yard score and Jamel Faulkner on a 50-yarder.

Knights QB Matt Schmit threw for 255 yards and two TDs, while K.J. Florence had five catches for 124 yards.

Anthony Andrades led the Knights’ running attack, gaining 96 yards on 13 carries.

“I still think we have a good defense,” Nicholson said. “But they came out strong and showed us a lot of things we didn’t expect. We have to handle things like that better in the playoffs.”

Lakeland (6-4, 5-4) outgained Grassfield 313-149 in total yards, but the Grizzlies picked off three Cavaliers passes and recovered two fumbles.

No. 3 Ocean Lakes 28, Landstown 7

Quarterback Lafonte Thoroughgood and Justin Hunter hooked up for three fourth-quarter touchdowns as the visiting Dolphins pulled away late.

Ocean Lakes finished 4-6 – losing its six games because of forfeits for using an ineligible player.

Hunter hauled passes of 51, 7 and 30 yards in the right corner of the end zone to complete a string of 28 unanswered points.

“We just clicked,” said Hunter, who hauled in four receptions for 134 yards in the period. “It’s like we turned on the switch and it just happened.”

Landstown (6-4) is the No. 7 seed in Division 6 and plays Bayside in next week’s opening round.

The Eagles led 7-0 after Jeremiah Brent’s 2-yard plunge in the first quarter, but it was all Dolphins after that.

Ocean Lakes employed a potent running attack led by Thoroughgood with 122 yards at the break, including a 32-yard TD burst up the middle with less than four minutes remaining before halftime to knot the score at 7-7.

“We were able to move the ball,” Ocean Lakes coach Chris Scott said. “We just needed to finish. It wasn’t showing on the scoreboard.”

The Dolphins started to get their rhythm in the third quarter before breaking the game wide open in the fourth.

“We had established the run and we saw they were leaving Justin (Hunter) more in one-on-one and two-on-one situations,” Scott said. “That’s something we like and he was able to make some big time catches.”

Ocean Lakes finished with 229 rushing yards and 424 total offensive yards. They limited the Eagles to 106 total yards and three first downs.

“I could not be more proud of these guys,” Scott said. “They’ve proven to be the best in the Beach.”

Key stats: OL–Hunter 10-178, 3 TDs receiving; Thoroughgood 12-21-3-195, 3 TDs passing, 16-136, TD rushing; William Whitehead 11-79 rushing. L–Jordan Broadnax 15-39 rushing; Donte Sanders 8-14-0-71 passing.
