ORLANDO, FL — The sun made a brief, belated appearance Saturday at the Citrus Bowl, peering from behind the clouds late in the first half of the Class 4A state football final. It was a meteorological tease for the Armwood High Hawks. A depression unlike any they’ve experienced in recent memory was only starting to form.
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.

FHSAA: Dr. Phillips' title hopes defused by Miami Central
Orlando, FL - Miami Central's swarming defense corralled the state's all-time scoring leader, Demetrius Hart, and the Rockets rode their own thoroughbred running back to a 42-27 victory over Dr. Phillips in Saturday night's Class 6A football state championship game at the Citrus Bowl.
Devonta Freeman, a 5-10, 192-pound senior who has orally committed to Florida State, put the Rockets on his back after DP took advantage of Central miscues to take a 17-0 second quarter lead. He carried 36 times for 308 yards and scored three touchdowns.
A paid crowd of 10,078, easily the biggest for a year when finals attendance dipped, included FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher.
