SANTA ROSA BEACH - The South Walton Seahawks took another step into unfamiliar territory Friday night when they defeated the Bozeman Bucks 34-27 in the Class 2B regional semifinals at South Walton High.
The Seahawks clinched their first-ever district title a couple of weeks ago and now they have won their first playoff game.
"If you want something you've never had, you've got to do something you've never done," said South Walton Coach David Barron as he walked off the field.
And that's what the Seahawks did.
"I knew it was going to be a good game and it was a physical war for 48 minutes," Barron said.
Hunter Infinger was the go-to guy for the Seahawks with five catches for 83 yards and three touchdowns.
"I knew they were going to be throwing to me tonight, but I didn't know it would be three touchdowns," Infinger said.
South Walton utilized two quarterbacks, as they have all season. Cody Adams was 9-of-9 for 127 yards and one touchdown, while Dennis Smith was 4-of-8 for 40 yards and two touchdowns.
Bozeman moved the ball on the ground primarily with Tyler Grier rushing for 127 yards and two touchdowns, and Mason Bennett pickied up 101 yards, including one touchdown. Paul Myers scored the other Bozeman touchdown.
Bozeman struck first in the contest on a 4-yard run by Myers about midway through the second quarter. About two minutes later, Bozeman was in the end zone again on a 3-yard run by Grier for a 14-0 lead.
In the last three minutes, the Seahawks put two touchdowns on the board. Smith connected with Infinger for both. David Bazylak missed an extra-point kick and the Seahawks trailed by one at the half.
Bozeman came out in the third and scored on a 10-play drive with Bennett scoring on a 2-yard run. The 2-point try failed.
South Walton came back to tie the game. This time Cody Bryant connected with Infinger on a 21-yarder for the score and Bazylak hit the PAT for a 20-20 game.
South Walton finished up with Smith scoring on a 1-yard run and Bazylak on a 19-yard run.
Smith stopped the Bucks on their last possession when he intercepted Travis Register.
It was also hands down the coldest football game this Florida girl has ever been to. Thanks BobbyJ and Peaboy for standing close to me!
Go Hawks!!
3. That awful powdered hot cocoa mix stuff from the concession stand is nice. Drink 2 cups or so very slowly, using the hot cup as a hand warmer as you do. Don't overconsume, because you don't want to end up in an unheated restroom where it is just as cold as it is in the bleachers.
I heard that Bozeman was playing some dirty football, and South Walton played a very clean game and still whooped 'em. Congratulations to the players, coaches, teachers, parents and role models in these players' lives for teaching them about something even more important than winning! Winning is just a bonus.
