Eddie Jackson returned a punt and a fumble for touchdowns as Boyd Anderson routed host Ely 35-0 in a game that was delayed three days because of Hurricane Sandy.

While the Cobras (6-1, 3-1) defense dominated throughout, Jackson got Boyd Anderson on the board late in the first half when he returned a punt 73 yards for a touchdown to give Boyd Anderson a 7-0 lead.

The win clinched the runner-up spot for the Cobras in District 14-7A. Northeast is the district champion by virtue of a 19-14 win over the Cobras earlier this season.

“Defense did a tremendous job. We dropped some interceptions,” Boyd Anderson coach Wayne Blair said. “Offensively, we left some points out there again. We can’t find ourselves as a team scoring 28 points in the fourth quarter. We got to do a better job of that coaching them up.”

That was all the scoring there was until Boyd Anderson opened the flood gates in the fourth quarter.

Gregory Hankerson scored on a 3-yard quarterback sneak for a 14-0 lead and then hit Richard Lopez for a 17-yard touchdown pass with 8:17 to play.

After botching a punt, the Tigers (4-4, 2-2) had their best scoring opportunity, getting the ball at Boyd Anderson’s 11-yard line. The Tigers moved to the 1-yard line before the Cobras defense forced a fumble from quarterback Nelson Ervin. Jackson scooped the fumble up and raced 89 yards for a touchdown and a 28-0 lead with 3:06 to play.

The Cobras finished the scoring off on a 40-yard touchdown pass from Hankerson to Romello Taylor in the final minute.

Hankerson finished with 176 yards pass and two touchdowns. Lopez had four catches for 55 yards a touchdown.

After having its district championship taken away last season, this trip to the playoffs is certainly redemption for this program.

“I feel like we’ve got a lot of unfinished business,” Blair said.

•  South Plantation 34 Douglas 3: Even while containing one of the state’s top running backs, Douglas still came up short.

The Eagles (1-7) held running back Alex Collins to 52 yards and one touchdown. Collins, a University of Miami commit, had one of his lowest rushing totals of the season but only played the first half.

South Plantation (8-0) rolled easily despite five fumbles and six total turnovers. The Paladins defense, though, was stellar the entire night. Cornerback Natavious Odom returned an interception 10 yards for a touchdown, and senior linebacker Keon Knight also returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown. Defensive Back Hordley Seide returned a fumble 40 yards for a touchdown.

Quarterback John Franklin ran for 80 yards on 5 carries and a touchdown.

The Paladins look to take District 11-8A with a victory next week.
