Lake Mary Blows Past Hagerty 55–17 in District Opener

Game Flow & Key Stats

At first, it appeared the contest would remain tight. Lake Mary’s defense had trouble stopping Hagerty’s offensive pushes, while the Rams’ own attack sputtered with turnovers and missed opportunities. By halftime, the Rams clung to a 27–17 lead, leaving the outcome still very much in question.

The second half told a completely different story. Lake Mary’s defense locked down Hagerty, shutting them out over the final two quarters, while the offense found its rhythm and piled on 28 unanswered points. The turnaround turned what was shaping up to be a battle into a blowout.

Quarter scoring highlighted the shift in momentum:

• Hagerty: 7 | 10 | 0 | 0 = 17

• Lake Mary: 14 | 13 | 14 | 14 = 55

Offensive Fireworks

Senior quarterback Noah Grubbs headlined the Rams’ offensive surge, throwing for 329 yards and six touchdowns on 20-of-29 passing. His favorite targets were Barrett Schulz (7 receptions, 140 yards, 2 TDs) and Oshea Faison, who added 63 receiving yards, 54 rushing yards, and 2 total scores.

Hagerty’s bright spot came from Makiye McBurse, who tallied 102 receiving yards and a touchdown, but the Huskies’ offense stalled against Lake Mary’s second-half adjustments.

Defensive Turnaround

Lake Mary’s defensive front became increasingly disruptive after halftime, controlling the line of scrimmage and cutting off Hagerty’s running lanes. The Rams forced multiple stops that kept the Huskies from adding to their first-half point total.

Postgame Reactions

Head coach Scott Perry praised his team’s resilience after the bye week and last game loss:

“I challenged the guys to work hard for two weeks and try to get that out of our system from last time, and they certainly did. It was a tight game in the first half. We turned the ball over twice and defensively we weren’t being very physical up front. In the second half, we eliminated that problem with our first O and then defensively started being more physical at the line of scrimmage and got the stops, and then points just started coming.”

On quarterback Noah Grubbs:

“He is doing a great job. He’s being a good leader. I mean, he had two picks. One of them went through the hands of the receiver and the other one, he just overthrew the guy. But as usual, he’s playing amazing football.”

Grubbs took accountability but also celebrated the team’s complete effort:

“Overall it was a great team win. We definitely needed a dominant win. I think our defense obviously really held up well in the second half, but those two turnovers aren’t acceptable. It can’t happen. That’s on me. I take accountability on that, but I think it was great improvement from the line. This game, the running game and the passing game worked well, great improvement overall.”

On trusting his wide receivers:

“I trust in every single one of ’em, so I think I’m going to just be able to scatter it around and we’ll see what happens from here.”

With the win, Lake Mary improved to 3–2 and set the tone for district play. Next up is a matchup with North Miami Beach (also 3–2) on October 3rd, a key midseason clash that could define momentum for both programs.

Hagerty, now 3–2, will look to regroup quickly as they prepare to face rival Oviedo.

For Lake Mary, the second half against Hagerty wasn’t just about piling on points — it was about proving resilience, correcting mistakes, and showing how dominant this team can be when both sides of the ball click at the same time.
