Polk County's biggest rivalry decided a district champion tonight at Bryant Stadium, one of many storylines in the annual showdown between Kathleen and Lakeland.

The Red Devils were also looking for their first 10-0 regular season since 1969, while a Dreadnaughts loss would put Lakeland's 22-year playoff streak in jeopardy. But Lakeland's explosiveness was too much for Kathleen to handle, as they cruised to a 35-13 win.

Both teams finish with a 2-1 record in district play, and with Winter Haven's win over Bartow dropping both of those teams to 1-2 records in 7A-7, Lakeland clinched their second straight district championship, and Kathleen finishes as district runner-up.

Nearly before Kathleen could catch their breath in the electric atmosphere of Bryant Stadium, the Dreadnaughts jumped to a 14-0 lead behind two long TD passes from Holden Hotchkiss to James Robinson. Hotchkiss finished with 251 passing yards, while Robinson earned Player of the Game honors with 133 receiving yards and a fumble recovery.

Tariq Young added 128 receiving yards, including a 97-yd TD in the third quarter and Anthony Davis pounded his way to 108 yards on 23 carries, including a 1-yd TD run in the fourth quarter.

QB Jules St. Ge kept the Red Devils offense moving throughout most of the night, finishing with 254 passing yards, 57 rushing yards and two total TD. Before leaving with a third-quarter injury, Marquis Zimmerman was his top target (7 receptions, 173 receiving yards, TD).

Lakeland (7-2) will host Sickles in two weeks at Bryant Stadium, while Kathleen (9-1) will travel to Tampa to face Plant in the friendly confines of Dad's Stadium.
