Oviedo’s Dylan Moghadam (No. 10, 1st photo) made two crucial kicks, including this extra point that tied the game at halftime, and a field goal that cut the deficit to 17-10 with less than 2-minutes to play, but they both came after touchdown runs by Hagerty’s Tavis Thompson (No. 8, 2nd photo, powering through an attempted tackle) as the host Huskies held on for a 17-10 victory to claim the City of Oviedo Football Challenge Cup. Meanwhile, host Seminole got two touchdown runs from D.J. Hampton (3rd photo) and another from Aaron Edmunds (4th photo) and the defense, including FSU commit De’marco Artis (No. 33, 5th photo), dominated in the second half as the Tribe defeated Spruce Creek, 28-13.
