It took almost two-full quarters for Dr. Phillips to pick up its first score, but that didn't stop the Panthers from rallying to a 28-19 win over Wekiva on Friday, Oct. 9.
A week after Dr. Phillips (3-1) easily handled Windermere in a 50-0 win, the Panthers found themselves in a bind down 12-0 through most of the first half before quarterback Jojo Patti hit Ledger Hatch on a 10-yard touchdown toss just before the halftime break. Patti to Hatch would be the connection of the night, as 121 of Patti's 173-passing yards would end up in Hatch's hands, as well as both of Patti's touchdown tosses.
The Panthers would go on in the second half to outscore Wekiva (1-2) by a 21-7 margin — thanks to the second Patti-to-Hatch touchdown, and two-short rushing scores by Jaydan Taylor.
Up next the Panthers travel down the road to take on an undefeated Olympia (3-0) on Friday, Oct. 16.
