Here’s a roundup of the Southwest Florida spring football games played on Tuesday, May 21.
Barron Collier 48, Charlotte 41
One of the mantras of spring football many coaches say is, “We played well, but we have a lot to work on.”
And after Tuesday’s spring football game between Barron Collier and Charlotte at Golden Gate High School, both teams have a lot of work to do on defense.
It was the Cougars who had the last word as Simon Hincape scored his third touchdown of the night with 30 seconds left to give them a wild 48-41 victory.

Hincape was pretty psyched about the game and his hat trick.
“On the last play, we called an outside run. My two tight ends blocked beautifully and I cut inside and juked it out and went in,” Hincape said. “We’ve been getting close like a family and we’re getting better on offense and defense. All props to the line.”
The Tarpons led 41-34 after three quarters. However, Collier quarterback Nico Boyce ran it in from 7 yards to tie the game at 41 early in the fourth.
Charlotte quarterback Teagan Lipke played well, and receiver Steven Bullock had a huge evening with four touchdowns. However, Lipke threw a key interception to Ricardo Reategui to end a threat, and after a three-and-out, Collier was able to drive 62 yards on eight plays, with Hincape providing the winning score.
Charlotte reached midfield in a last-gasp drive, but Lipke fumbled to ice the game for the Cougars.
Collier coach Mark Johnson said the defense will need some work, but was happy with the effort.
