HUDSON, Florida - Pasco senior star Janarian Grant, playing in his first game of the season, made a smashing debut Friday night, helping lead the Pirates past the Fivay Falcons 54-20.

Any doubt about Grant being ready to play after missing the first six games of the year from a preseason injury were quickly dispelled when he returned the games opening kickoff 91 yards, untouched, for an apparent score. A Pasco penalty nullified the touchdown, but Grant scored a few plays later on a 12-yard run, as his amazing night was just getting started.

Dade City, FL - The Pasco Pirates were heavy favorites at home against the undersized and outnumbered Gulf Buccaneers, in a  5A-6 district matchup.

It didn't take long for Pasco to flex their gridiron muscle, scoring on their first possession.   David Emmanuel ran through several defenders, rumbling 35-yards for the score.

On the Pirates next possession, Jajaun Henry tossed a swing pass to Malik Johns, who went 30 yards untouched.

Trinity, FL - Mitchell quarterback Trey Drury only threw four passes in the entire game, but three of them were touchdowns, helping the Mustangs (4-0, 1-0) to a 46-3 district win over River Ridge.

The Royal Knights got on the scoreboard first, with a 31-yard field goal, but that would be their only score.

The Mustangs rushed for 327 yards, passed for 148, and never had to attempt a punt in the game.

Next week, district play continues for both teams, with Mitchell going on the road to face Sunlake, while River Ridge takes on Nature Coast at home.
