THE VILLAGES — Frostproof football cruised to its fourth state title game on Friday at The Range at H.G. Morse Stadium at The Villages High School, topping Fernandina Beach 27-8.
The game was in question until the third quarter when Frostproof’s Mehki Guillaume returned a 65-yard kick return for a touchdown on the first play of the second half, which carved out a straight shot to an eventual victory over Fernandina Beach on a blustery night in The Villages, leading to an SSAA Atlantic State Division title.
“I’m so proud of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ that he allowed us to be in that position. It is a blessing,” Frostproof head football coach Richie Marsh said. “…They did a great job stopping what we do, and we struggled in the first half trying to make what we do work, but we played good defense and didn’t have any big mistakes. … Hats off to the coaches. They did a great job, and I just watch this game.”
Below are some observations for the biggest game of the year for Frostproof.
