The Gators then stopped the Saints and took another td to make the score 13-6.

The first half ended with the Gators 19 Saints 12. The third quarter the Gators then took a 25-12 lead, and going into the fourth quarter the Gators led 32-12. The Saints Booker Green took another long run of 65 yards for pay dirt and the score was 32-18. The Saints fought gallantly but in the end the Gators of Sarasota took the win 38 – 12. 

The junior Saints earned their way into the playoffs and represented the Saints organization very well. As an organization we are very, very proud of our junior team. They played hard and never gave up. Also #58 Fi who suffered a hard hit in the third quarter is OK and at home. Lets remember him in our prayers for a very speedy recovery.
