Kevin Jamal Williams just missed on a 4A State Championship at Armwood, but he will be joining a team with a realistic chance at a FCS Championship in 2011. Williams informed bigcountypreps.com (BCP) he has verbally committed to a scholarship offer from Bethune-Cookman University.
Williams, at 6'2" and 305 pounds, will slide inside and play either center or guard for the Wildcats. At Armwood his main priority playing left tackle was to keep QB Josh Grady's blindside protected and to open up holes quickly for backs Kyle Wilcox and Matt Jones.

On an overcast, periodically rainy afternoon, the top-ranked Hawks (14-1) let a team they had statistically outplayed for three quarters stick around and, in the end, surpass them. Senior kicker Carlos Gaston’s 37-yard field goal with four seconds to play — set up seven plays earlier when he drew a roughing-the-punter penalty — lifted Tallahassee Lincoln (11-4) to a 17-14 upset before a meager audience of 2,217.

Tallahassee Lincoln senior Carlos Gaston nailed a 37-yard field goal with four seconds left to give Lincoln a 17-14 victory against Seffner Armwood in the Class 4A state championship game at the Citrus Bowl on Saturday afternoon in Orlando.
Armwood (14-1) came into the game nationally ranked and a heavy favorite against Lincoln (11-4), which started the season losing four of its first seven games. ``Our kids knew that nobody gave us a chance and nobody expected nothing,'' said Lincoln coach Yusuf Shakir, a Lincoln alumnus.
