Rackley leads Killian to upset

By David Furones

Special to the Miami Herald

October 15, 2015 11:17 PM

District 16-8A just got a whole lot more interesting.

A Killian team with only seven seniors and five returning starters took down South Dade, ranked No. 5 in The Associated Press Florida Class 8A rankings, 32-29 on Thursday night at Southridge.

Freshman quarterback Cariq Rackley threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns on a stout defense that was previously giving up 83 passing yards a game.

Senior running back Joshua King broke multiple tackles on an 82-yard touchdown run that put Killian (3-3, 1-1) up 32-22 with 4:56 remaining and appeared to be the clincher.

The Buccaneers (6-1, 2-1) cut the deficit to three quickly, though, with Ludovic Saintvil’s second touchdown pass to James Wiggins, but needing 12 yards on fourth down on the final drive, Saintvil hit Ivan Smith one yard short of the marker to end it.

It was a rewarding win for Killian, which lost several players who transferred to neighboring schools this season.

“You can pluck the kids away from us, but we’re going to keep building them,” Killian coach Cory Johnson said.

South Dade appeared to be the clear favorite after beating district foes Southridge and Palmetto by a combined score of 80-0, but the upset now opens up District 16-8A. South Dade, Killian and Southridge are all 1-1 against each other.

Daquris Wiggins had two of his three catches for touchdowns and finished with 83 receiving yards, and Antwan Collier scored once on the ground and once through the air for Killian.

▪ Ransom Everglades 12, Scheck Hillel 7: Trailing 7-6 in the fourth quarter, Max Suster caught a pass from Mike Gerrard and raced 67 yards for the winning score.

Behind 7-0, Gerrard also threw a touchdown pass to Nick Cobb in the third quarter, cutting the deficit to one. OJ Armstrong had 150 yards rushing, and DT Eddie Montalvo excelled on defense, shutting out Hillel in the final three quarters. The Raiders are 3-5.
