• Westminster Christian 41, North Broward Prep 6: While the Westminster Christian football team won’t be participating in postseason play this season, it proved Thursday afternoon that it has the potential to be a force in 2013.
The Warriors (6-4, 1-2), who will be returning all their key offensive playmakers next season routed playoff-bound North Broward Prep.
Quarterback Hunter Boyett, who played in his second game since returning from a shoulder injury sustained against Chaminade, tossed three touchdowns and completed 12 of his 16 passes for 149 yards.
Tim Irvin caught one of those touchdowns as part of his 33 receiving yards, ran for 98 yards on nine carries and returned a punt 55 yards for a touchdown.
Tobias Moss hauled in a 53-yard bomb from Boyett to break the game open in a third quarter, in which Westminster Christian scored 27 points. Moss later returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown.
North Broward Prep (4-5,1-1) is in the Class 4A playoffs as the runner-up in District 7-4A. The Eagles will face District 8-4A champion Booker T. Washington in regional semifinals.
