Jawon Hamilton ran for three touchdowns in the first half and South Dade (3-0) played the entire second half with a running clock against previously unbeaten Palmetto (3-1) in the District 16-8A opener at Harris Field.

Hamilton: The FIU commit finished with 97 yards on nine carries.

Ivan Smith: Rushed for 37 yards and scored on a 17-yard run .Tre'ven Worthen’s touchdown run gave the Bucs a 35-0 halftime lead.
