Lake Mary’s immediate problem Friday was a 7-3 halftime deficit as Timber Creek intercepted a pass, forced a turnover-on-downs and held the Rams to a short field goal following an 11-play drive.

The Rams responded in the second half by building a 20-7 lead and going on to wear down the Wolves while sustaining lengthy offensive drives and tallying 6 sacks on defense. “Our guys settled down, started being focused, and played much better in the second half,” Perry said. “When we eliminated those little mistakes, we were able to drive the football and get down the field.” QB Gunnar Smith rebounded from a spotty start to finish 21-of-31 passing for 235 yards with 2 TDs and 1 interception, which bounced off the hands of a receiver and into the arms of Timber Creek defender Jalon Chaney.
