Volusia-Flagler football roundup: 4 local teams end regular season with Week 12 wins

Week 12 of the Florida high school football season delivered in the Volusia-Flagler area.

The week was not originally on the 2024 football calendar. The FHSAA installed it after Hurricane Milton postponed most of the Week 8 matchups around the state.

In District 2-7A, Thursday produced a pair of one-score games that resulted in a three-way tie atop the standings. Both home teams won.

Titans quarterback Malachi Walters finished 15-of-25 passing for 160 yards, tossing touchdowns to Jermane Hayes and Barrett Schulz.
