Bray also added 2 receiving TD. Melbourne Coach Stu Smith says Greenland is one of the better teams in 3A. “They play incredibly tough,” Smith says.
NO. 10 CAMDEN HARMONY GROVE (7-4) at No. 7 Osceola (7-3) Osceola, which possesses one of the larger offensive lines in 3A, was the lone 2-3A team to win in the opening round as Torian Bell Jr. threw 2 TD passes in the Seminoles' 20-14 win over Perryville.
