Pinellas Park, FL-- The Pinellas Park Patriots clinched the district championship, with a convincing 46-10 win over Countryside.

It was still a 6-point game at the half, until the Park came out in the second half and scored 4 touchdowns.

RB Donte Maxson rushed just 7 times, but for 127 yards and 3 touchdowns.  The Patriots rushed for 302 yards and 5 touchdowns as a team.

Tarpon Springs, FL - East Lake was too much for Pinellas Park to handle Friday night, giving the Patriots their first loss of the season, while the Eagles remain unbeaten at 8-0 and claim the Class 7A-9 district title.

The Eagles got on the scoreboard first when quarterback Jake Hudson ran it in from the 1-yard line.  A few plays later, it was the defense chipping in, with Jacob Hansen returning an interception 17-yards to give East Lake a 14-0 lead.

Pinellas Park, FL - Pinellas Park running back Pierre Johnson is the 10 News Sports Player of the Week.

Last Friday night against Northeast, Johnson rushed for 166-yards and scored two touchdowns with only nine carries, in the Patriots 56-0 win over the Vikings.

Johnson doesn't get a lot of rushing attempts, as Pinellas Park is very deep at the running back position.  But he says that's not a problem at all.
