Lake Minneola senior running back Sidarius Walker ran for three first-half touchdowns as the Hawks blew out visiting Gulfport Boca Ciega in a Class 6A, Region 2 high school football quarterfinal game.
Lake Minneola (8-1) never looked back after a Taffrey Peterman pass was intercepted by Ralph Ortiz and returned 60 yards for a touchdown, putting the Hawks up 14-0 early in the second quarter.
A blocked punt by Wyatt Walker a couple possessions later gave Lake Minneola the ball at Boca Ciega’s 14-yard line. Walker ran it in for his third rushing touchdown shortly after, putting the Hawks up 28-0 in the first half.
