The defensive battle was expected, but the difference, a blocked punt returned for a touchdown, was the surprise in Wekiva’s 14-7 victory on Friday night over hometown rival Apopka.
With just 57 seconds to go before halftime and the teams locked in a 7-7 battle, Wekiva’s Tamareon Foster broke through and blocked Apopka’s punt, and teammate Luther Johnson returned it 12 yards for the Mustang touchdown.
Through the second half, both teams moved the ball at times but couldn’t put any points on the board as Wekiva (4-3), ranked No. 15 in the Sentinel’s Super 16, defeated the No.
