Coming off their bye week, Deerfield Beach High School defeated Blanche Ely 30-3 in the third annual McDougle Bowl. This extenpic-6ds the five game winning streak the Bucks (1-1) have over the Tigers (1-2).  Senior quarterback Nick Holm lead the Bucks with 289 passing yards, two touchdowns, one interception, 17 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown.

“Nick’s a good football player,” head coach Jevon Glenn said, “he’s consistent, he’s steady, and he did what I thought he should do.”

The Bucks senior wide receiver Jerry Jeudy verified that he is one of the best in the country (No. 21 on the ESPN 300 and Alabama commit), recording 10 receptions from Holm for 110 yards and two touchdowns. Senior Leroy Henley also added seven receptions for 122 yards.

“I feel like the offensive line did a great job tonight,” Holm said. “A lot of guys going out and catching balls makes it easy for me.”

The Bucks defense, led by senior defensive end Deslin Alexandre, held the Tigers offense to a total of eight yards, including  43 rushing yards.  The Bucks also intercepted Ely sophomore quarterback Ward Karinzo two times and sacked him a total of five times. Alexandre lead Deerfield’s defense with three sacks and 3.5 tackles.

“The focus we had coming into the game was we were not going to let what happened against Hallandale happen to us again” Alexandre said.

Two weeks ago, the Bucks lost to the Hallandale Chargers 22-21 in overtime where the Chargers went for the 2-point conversion instead of a field goal.

“Our kids are hungry,” Glenn said, “We have high standards and we are chasing them. I saw a keen focus in our athletes coming into tonight’s game”.

Even with a huge margin of victory, the Bucks lead the game with 14 penalties for 140 yards, which lead the Tigers to their only points of the night, a 27 yard field goal with 2:53 minutes left in the game.

“At the end of the day [when] we came into the game it wasn’t really about them; it was about us cleaning up some stuff that we needed to and we still have some stuff we need to work on.” Glenn said.

Holm was named Deerfield’s Most Valuable Player, receiving a $1,000 scholarship from the McDougle Family Foundation to the college of his choice. Sophomore James Harris was Ely’s Most Valuable Player, also receiving a $1,000 scholarship. The Bucks will travel to Atlanta, Georgia next week to take on nationally ranked No. 13 Grayson Rams while the Tigers will take on the Boyd Anderson Cobras.
