Naples High and Lely High have both had stellar seasons. They came to the Coconut Bowl seeking the Class 3A District 14 Championship with identical records of 7 - 1 overall, and 3 - 0 in the District. Both teams secured a playoff berth, but this game would also provide a first round home field advantage.
From my point of view it was one of the most entertaining games I've seen all season. While the final score of 50 -33 looks lopsided, the game from the sideline did not.
Lely shocked Naples (and the rest of us too) with an 80 yard run for TD in the first 16 seconds of the game, and the two teams started exchanging touchdowns and the lead through the three quarters. It was not until the fourth that Naples got a leg up, but Lely never gave up, scoring, converting, and recovering an on-side kick in the fourth. It was an interception by Naples with just over 3 minutes left that sealed the deal.
Spectators surely got their money's worth. Click here to go to the pix!
