A few weeks away from the field did little to slow Seminole in its Class 8A region playoff opener Friday at Spec Martin Stadium in DeLand.
Senior quarterback Timmy McClain tossed three touchdown passes to Jimmy Horn and the ‘Noles held the Bulldogs (4-3) to under 100 yards of offense during a 28-13 win in the Battle For The Bridge rivalry game.
Seminole (8-0) advances to a region semifinal at Jacksonville Sandalwood (8-2) on Friday at 7:30 p.m. Sandalwood won 28-19 against Flagler Palm Coast (4-4).
“Anytime you have three weeks off you’re a little nervous about coming out, that the guys are going to be rusty,” said Seminole coach Eric Lodge.
