Boca Raton 27, Santaluces 19: Bobcats rally to top Chiefs

Gary Coronado / Palm Beach Post
The Boca Raton Bobcats used two huge defensive plays and Kevin Anderson's arm to stop the Santaluces Chiefs 27-19 and end a three-game losing streak.
Anderson, a sophomore quarterback, completed 24 of 31 passes for 330 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in leading the Bobcats (2-4) to 17 unanswered points in the second half after trailing 19-10.
Anderson started shaky, but looked comfortable in the pocket as the game went on. After being sacked three times and fumbling a snap once in the first half, he pulled it together midway through the third quarter after the Chiefs had grabbed a 19-10 lead.
From that point, Anderson went 13-for-17 for 211 yards with a pair of touchdown passes to senior Cameron Lewis.
Anderson also had a 6-yard touchdown run in the first half.
"Our offense doesn't worry about if we're losing or not. We're just going to go in and make plays," Anderson said after the comeback.
"Our game plan is usually to hit the underneath stuff until they start biting, and then we hit them with the deep stuff. Throwing short early is our strategy."
The Chiefs (3-4) scored in the second quarter when Carl Young hit senior Terrance Floyd down field and Floyd outran the Bobcats for a 43-yard touchdown.
Young hit an uncovered Jordan St. Louis for a 56-yard strike in the third to make it 19-10.
Then the wheels came off for Santaluces.
Artez Fulton broke free of scrimmage at the Chiefs' 20-yard line and dashed down field. But the Bobcats' Tard McCoy ran him down, punching the ball out at the 10-yard line, and Boca Raton's Dane Sellers fell on the ball at the 1.
After the Chiefs' defense forced a punt, Terrance Floyd returned the ball 71 yards to the Bobcats' 12.
On the first play, Young was intercepted by Ryan Walters. The Bobcats marched 80 yards on the ensuing possession, going ahead 24-19 - a lead they would not relinquish.
"When you work hard in practice, things pay off," said McCoy. "Coach always tells us never to give up on a play."
David Bicknell added two field goals for the Bobcats, a 50-yarder at the end of the first half and a 27-yarder in the fourth quarter.

We are state-bound after this amazing win!!! Nothing can stop us now that we have all the peices in place!!! Dwyer, here we come!!!

Bobcat Mascot, you are state bound, but it won't be in football. If beating Santaluces is amazing to you that is great. Do you really want Dwyer? That is also amazing. I do think that Boca has finally learned how to use it's QB. That is amazing.

Ummm Jay T. You must not be watching the same football games.
Despite all of these ridiculous bloggers saying that byars has been trying to highlight his son all season, boca's is definitely a 60-40 pass-run team at this point in the season and that's fact.
It's not like 14 hasnt had the opportunity to make plays all season, he just finally did it
WOW commented on October 16, 2010 at 11:19 p.m.: report abuse
Its true # 14 played a solid game. But #5 made the play of the season. Byars is trying to get junior in the open field and I can't blame him I would too. 60-40 pass-run is not enough. I'd go 80-20 out of spread and two tight end set. The defense is a mess. Way to many breakdowns. If the DC had a clue this team could compete for the district.

how come Byars will not run #5 i thank he do want to see his son out dun
boca best commented on October 17, 2010 at 11:54 a.m.: report abuse
bobcat fan I agree #5 is a stud for some reason that player runs one good play then taken out. if he could run down a man and save a game he could run touchdowns and win games. I guess we wont know until hes a senior because keith has one more year and hes a sophmore wow.
idiots commented on October 17, 2010 at 1:58 p.m.: report abuse
#5 Got every carry in the kickoff classic and first 2 regular season games, Turn on the film and see how he did, or go to the stats and see how he did. Also, he did not play ANY DEFENSE in those two games because he isnt in condition to be productive playing full time on both sides. The coaches had a decision to make and chose to use him on defense...based on his outstanding play the other night, do you think that was a bad decision? get your facts straight you dumb dumbs
WOW commented on October 17, 2010 at 2:57 p.m.: report abuse
# 5 played cause #7 was hurt. #5 played defense on Friday cause #8 and #6 came out due to injury. In the first few games #5 layed down the ball a few times. If you apply that reasoning to # 7 he should sit too. But, there is no doubt #7 is the better back and if he ever plays to his potential is a stud. With that said # 5 should get more carries. The kid is young and game experience will only help him and the team for the future. Hows that for facts?
blue and gold commented on October 17, 2010 at 3:05 p.m.: report abuse
but #5 made a TD saving tackle on a 80 yard run by santaluces, he's a great safety, he's doing his thing.
#7 is gonna do his thing, over 150 total yards friday night, bobcats are on the right track
Ohiostater commented on October 17, 2010 at 8:27 p.m.: report abuse
Did I call it or what?? Go to the air, boca teams don't have rushing
offense this year. You got three teams with ability to throw: Anderson
on varsity, jay m. on jv, who may extend his qb lifespan if he stops
trying to run all his own yards, and Shultz on freshman, kid has a cannon
and throws a nice ball.our supply of qbs is good just need to get
wr deeper and make some big plays.
bobcat fan commented on October 17, 2010 at 8:42 p.m.: report abuse
hi wow #5 started on defense not cus #8 and #6 play defense dum ass
idiots!! commented on October 17, 2010 at 8:54 p.m.: report abuse
Again dumb dumbs, The SECOND Keith was healthy #5 was moved back to his Best position Strong safety. He is the starting strong safety, #8 is FS and #6 plays safety but was playing CB when he got hurt.....hey WOW dont talk since you CLEARLY have no clue what you are talking about. #5 has started at SS for the past 4 games.

Will you guys stop all the nonsense about "Keith and "Tard." Let those kids be kids and do their thang.Kevin had an awesome game.Can we all enjoy our win and focus on the remaining season,we have a long way to go...Did anyone see "Cameron" receive Athlete of the week ? Can we all congratulate him on his accomplishment...Let's go Bobcats and Together We Will....

#5 TARD MCCOY IS BOCA'S FUTURE TAILBACK...EVERYONE KNOWS HE'S BETTER THAN KEITH BYARS BUT HE WONT SEE THE FIELD THAT MUCH ON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE BECAUSE THE STARTING TAILBACK IS THE HEAD COACH SON..AND HE ALSO FUMBLED 5 TIMES AGAINST O.H. BUT IS STILL NAMED THE STARTER..TARD BEST BET IS TO TRANSFER TO ANOTHER SCHOOL TO GET HIS SHOT..C WHAT I DID..AND MY SCHOOL IS DOING MUCH BETTER THAN BOCA HIGH
AJ # 6 FROM WEST BOCA SPEAKING THE TRUTH
Leonard b. Fine commented on October 18, 2010 at 9:41 a.m.: report abuse
To all, there will mass defections after the season. I do not like to see this, however I hope the staff clears this up. Byars is not a div.I back. He is not div. 1 in the classroom. Get him right. We (alumni) are rooting for you.
HAWK commented on October 18, 2010 at 9:55 a.m.: report abuse
Let's not start crowning BOCA, It was Santaluces and Boca had to come from behind. You better credit the kicker Bicknell. Boca has a chance at two more wins. PB Central and Boynton.No chance at Atlantic or P Vista. Those two will have to beat themselves for Boca to win. Both games are away. Boca has not won on the road and won't. Both running backs lay the ball on the ground a lot but Byars is the better back. Byars is better running the toss, Iso, and flare pass. McCoy is a good athlete with bad hand eye coordination. Offense is easy to defend, lock down Lewis with your best DB,Gerard Fulton from Atlantic won't let Lewis off the line of scrimmage, he doesn't run routes deeper than 15 yards because he runs a 4.8 but has quick feet. 8 in the box on Byars, he WILL cough it up. Anderson will hold on the the ball and give up many sacks. Just look at his stats. Bean and Dodd's are you listening???? The stats say it all about the defense. They STOP NOTHING! Look at the stats for West Boca, Olympic Heights, GC, and even Santaluces.
sherman commented on October 18, 2010 at 10:34 a.m.: report abuse
HAWK, agree, but Boca must coach to beat PBC, and I have little confidence in their staff. Boyton has nothing. As far as Byars is concerned I do not think he is a quality back. To beat PV your d must play assignment: q-dive-pitch. Does Bocas 5 tech read anything?
wizard commented on October 18, 2010 at 4:42 p.m.: report abuse
the next boca team to beat are playing freshman level now
defense is strong, hopefully coaches see this and keep them fro leaving
offense showing good ball movement in air
the varisty cycle topped last year, no talent depth now for 2-3 yrs
2-3 yrs to grow the team
freshmen are next team to beat
sad to say for this years 10,11 graders
fresh team looks good now,and they will have the A- team while
growing into jv and varsity
thats the next cycle, just the way it is
WOW commented on October 19, 2010 at 7:56 p.m.: report abuse
wizard If coach Byars does in fact stay beyond his son's playing days he should start looking for better assistant coaches. Specifically, coaches that can motivate in a constructive way. They seem to rip down extremely well but forget to build back up. Football is as mental a game as it is physical and these are teenagers. No matter how good or bad the talent its called coaching and involves more than player selection and play calling. I've seen to many talented kids leave or watching the game. There is a reason for this and its called incompetance. No matter how much talent comes to this school at any given year success will not be obtainable. This group is skewed. I'd clean house and start over if I were him.

Coach byers is doing nothing but trying to make BOCA BOCATS into ohio state, dont belive me just look at his stretches, he makes the players stretch in an O not in organized lines like they use to, they dont hold hands anymore,there is no cohision in this team because he doesnt alllow it , he cant coach. all he can do is talk
