There are only two weeks left in the regular season, and some teams are becoming their postseason forms.
Palmetto held Manatee to a season-low 14 points in a 37-14 Cross River Rivalry win. Riverview routed North Port, and Cardinal Mooney did the same to Bayshore. Sarasota defeated Lehigh 34-20 and Braden River shutout Southeast 31-0, as Wellen Park and Venice also picked up wins.
And since individual performances can get lost in the final scores, the Herald-Tribune is honoring the top performances each week.
