Despite being without their star running back, JT Taylor, South Sumter churns offensive spark to get past South Lake Thursday night, 26-19.

At the start of varsity play, the Eagles had already punched in a score with a handoff to freshman Jacob Owens.

In the Raiders first full possession in the second quarter they converted on a pitch from Bryce Williams to Isial Flowers for a 30-yard touchdown to knot the game up.

After the half, South Lake took advantage of a South Sumter fumble.

Freshman Kunta Nafield scooped and ran it back for a 70-yard score.

Raiders answered on their next trek down field with junior RB Bokeyon Rice gutting through the center from 12 out to even the playing field.
