of the week! and the unstoppable push a state title, but first, let's check out the eagles. hey, dano! we're in district play already. district 6-a, the cross county match-up here. it runs much like the coca cola free-style machines, options, and runs for a while before taking a break. the eagles come up empty. and a nice snag there, and once again, it doesn't show on the sc for dough. >> and 6-0 eagles. and then in the second. wright finds randy morgan in the flats, and he finds some green grass. that sets up the q.b. for another keeper. there is nothing wrong with wright. and they win handily 33-7. in your kitchen! >> let's get in the time machine. let's go to thursday night. and this is a rivalry game hosting central.

and look at one of about nine quarterbacks last night for this game for nature coast. 7-0 at that point. more sharks here. t.j. owens playing the quarterback position. untouched, 56 yards. 14-0. the bears are going to cut into this league, though, on the legs of davante smith. his brother led the nation in running last year for nature coast. >> is that good? >> he is a bear, though. the little brother hits the pylon there. 59-20, nature coast, the winner. >> time now for the friday night blitz game of the week. i love those neighborhood rivalries, especially with the gigantic tub of butter at stake. it was butter bowl night at land oh lakes. >> i don't think they get the butter. unfortunately for the gators, the arch rival sun lake owns three straight butter bowl trophies, and anthony alred

continue. >> reporter: welcome to the swap where the gators haven't beat the gators since swine flu was a pandemic around the world. so can the gators beat them for the first time in six season ? i don't know! so to the highlights we go. gator fans at the swamp were ready to rock, but would it be enough to shut down the seahawks. the first possession, and they only need a yard for a first down. there goes justin mets gear with the gators chopping at seahawks would g on to punch it in from the goal line, and the ensuing kick-off. and the line drive kick. and it looks like he may see daylight. he is bobbing and wieing hen oh, my groceries! that's got to hurt that wasn't a very neighborly gesture from the seahawks. watch this textbook three-step pass. and per receipty catches his balance on the run and he gets deep into the gators' secondary

to get a comfortable lead, but the gators ain't having it. pigskin gone wild and the gators would keep the seahawks from knocking on the door with the score 7-0. from the gun when tick, tick, tick, boom goes the byron nelson mite! justin kern runs it all the way down to the red zone before he has run out of bounds. and all they would get is a field goal with the seahawks. they would go on to win it and the seventh year in a row teaching you to never sleep on the gym of the week. anthony alred, news channel 8 sports. >> butta! >> i got to hold that butter bowl trophy today, which is something land oh lakes has never done. >> oh! >> harsh. >> go to the grocery store and get some. >> let's have the highlights,

- marco. - polo. - marco. - polo. marco. marco? marco? but it's not a game when our senator doesn't show up. i'm patrick murphy. solving problems means showing up. and working together. it's why i worked to protect women's health care and worked with both parties to stop cuts to medicare. i'm patrick murphy and i approve this message because florida needs a full-time senator. marco?

i wore a badge for 38 years knowing how much you trusted us to keep you safe. yet when a officer was killed in action florida was not doing enough to give their families the help they desperately needed. dana young understood. that was benefits they are entitled to and the honor they deserve. dana young has our back and she has yours. dana young for the florida senate.

friendly at least until mother nature had enough skylights. >> the helicopters have windows, just put them up! before a bird's eye view of east bay hosting durant, and chamberlain, it is time for this week's friday night blitz skylights. >> what a colorful night for a blitz. fly down the bay to the east bay and home of the indians in the battle against the cougars. the indians' ground game a go. and up the middle. and this time the q.b. tanner morris keeps it, finds an opening, but, wait, dragged down from behind, and now time for trey everett who gets it inside the 10. drive stalled, and in comes big number 90 for three pick up and good. the cougar ball. carlton potter looks deep and connects with brandon myers who goes. good gain. potter fakes one way and back

myers who has clear sailing all the way, but he stretches out of bounds at the 10. no t.d., and the east bay defense stands tough. durant settles for a field goal. and time now to dodge the rain drops and some bright lights to the big lights, up against the chiefs of chamber lynn. the chiefs having a tough time against an even tougher defense, and showing us some sleight oh, wrong guys. devin black has the billion and he scrambles down to the 30. here comes aaron collins. he springs it wide. gets the corner and then run out of bounds. so why not try mr. collins one more time. he avoids can't until he is in for six. and that's all the time for eagle 8 hd skylights in eagle 8 hd. and news channel 8. >> thank you, paul. more highlights. this time from the ground.

do you ever go somewhere and realize you forgot something? like a football! >> and they take over. and geovany, common spelling. that was pretty. and later, the ravens trying to get something going. scott, goodwill hunting who wheels into enemy territory. and it is best summed up by the late gene wilder, you get nothing. you lose. good day, sir. and that allows geovany to do th six! and when will alonzo score, quote the raven, never month. and he shut down alonzo, 44-0. >> we head north, and clearwater hosting boca tonight. a 7-7 game. the quarterback. he is also the punter. and at least not on that play. clearwater takes over deep inside. the territory, one play, to grant wilson, the tornadoes take the lead 14-7. the pirates go back on offense.

as the quarterback breaks four tackles, on his way to the end zone. he is better as a quarterback than a punter. >> the ensuing kick-off. that is jones. for those of you who don't know who he is. clearwater pulls away 51-35. >> finally, i'm sure this is a football field, not your own private roadway. probably playing they have got jones, who finishes the braves' first two drives of touchdown runs mr. intelligence and me are going to be big, big stars. 12-0. lake gibson right out of the gate. and he loses the snap, find as friend in the end zone. chris howard, lucky number 13 falling into your living room. and a quick out to m.j. link, and his quest ends in the end zone. they win it 35-0. and good
