Tarpon Springs, FL - The East Lake Eagles and the Countryside Cougars are not in the same district, but they are north Pinellas County neighbors, which makes for an intense rivalry.

Coming into this game, the Eagles wanted to prove they are not only the best team in north Pinellas, but the best in all of Pinellas County.

Countryside got on the board first when fullback Ryan Yates scored from two yards.

East Lake tied the game late in the first half when quarterback Pete DiNovo connected on an 18-yard score to Tyler Lane.

The Eagles took a 14-7 lead on the first play of the second half, when DiNovo hit Artavis Scott for an 80 yard touchdown.

But then the Cougars got their running game going. Diomi Roberts scored on a 2-yard run, and Ryan Yates dove in for his second touchdown, giving Countryside a lead they wouldn't relinguish.
