John Carroll Catholic extended its perfect record to 2-0 with a commanding 42-27 victory over Glades Central on Thursday evening in Belle Glade. The visiting Rams dominated the contest despite a spirited second-half comeback attempt by the Raiders, who fell to 0-2 on the season.
Carroll’s offense was paced by senior running back Felix Jackson, whose dynamic playmaking proved decisive throughout the night. Jackson sparked a crucial third-quarter drive with an explosive breakaway run before scoring on the ground to increase the Rams’ lead. Later, Jackson displayed his versatility by executing a reverse and connecting with junior receiver Donevon Richardson on a long touchdown pass that essentially put the game out of reach.
Glades Central mounted significant pressure early in the second half, scoring on consecutive possessions around halftime to narrow Carroll’s advantage. However, the Rams’ defense stiffened when it mattered most. Multiple sacks in the fourth quarter and an interception by junior Kameron Barger sealed the victory and limited any further comeback hopes.
Looking ahead, Carroll will face defending Class 1A state champion Cardinal Newman on September 4 in Fort Pierce. Glades Central will attempt to secure its first win of the season during an away contest at Palm Beach Gardens the same day.
