It was a battle between two Tampa Bay-area football powers Friday night as the Plant Panthers hosted the Armwood Hawks in a highly anticipated conference matchup.
Chris Mathis of iHeartRadio had the call live on WHNZ, 105.9 FM & 1250 AM, alongside color commentator Bobby Kady, FFCA’s College Football Analyst, bringing listeners all the action from Plant High School.
Armwood entered the night riding a three-game winning streak, while Plant looked to protect home turf against one of the top-ranked teams in the state. The Hawks wasted little time establishing control, rolling to a 56-0 victory over the Panthers.
Armwood's defense was dominant from start to finish, while the Hawks' offense consistently found the end zone as they pulled away from Plant and secured their fourth consecutive victory.
The Hawks entered the game ranked No. 15 in the MaxPreps Florida football rankings, compared to Plant at No. 70, and their performance reflected that difference on Friday night.
With the victory, Armwood improves to 5-1, while Plant falls to 3-3 heading into the October schedule.
Both teams now have some extra time to regroup during the bye week. Armwood returns to action October 9 at 7:30 PM against Tampa Bay Tech, while Plant will host Leto at 7:30 PM, also on October 9.
