Port St. Lucie, Fla. — The First Academy (Orlando) left little doubt on Thursday night, overwhelming Treasure Coast 57–7 at South County Regional Stadium for the Royals’ first win of the 2025 season. The result snapped TFA’s 0–2 start and extended the Titans’ early skid, which included shutouts to Osceola and Jensen Beach in Weeks 1 and 2.

How it happened

After two close losses to Milton (24–17) and Central (38–35), TFA arrived in Port St. Lucie playing with urgency and balance on both sides of the ball. The Royals’ offense set the tone early and never let up, stacking touchdowns across quarters while the defense swarmed to the football and limited explosive plays.

Who stood out

TFA’s roster features several juniors and seniors who have been central to the program’s identity under head coach Jeff Conaway. Junior quarterback Landen Holley headlines a skill group that includes Brian Dillard Jr. and Demetrice McCray, among others, behind an experienced line with Chancellor Barclay and Reed Ramsier. On defense, names like Christian Willis and Devin Jackson anchor a unit that looked faster and more connected this week than it did in the opening two games.

Why it matters

  • Course correction for TFA: The Royals entered the night 0–2 but had shown scoring pop (52 points through two weeks). Banking a lopsided road win resets momentum ahead of a September swing that includes Eau Gallie and Venice.

  • Early-season slide for Treasure Coast: The Titans fell to 0–3 with losses to Osceola, Jensen Beach, and now TFA, and must regroup quickly before hosting West Boca Raton and beginning district play.

  • Setting and stage: The matchup was staged at South County Stadium in Port St. Lucie, the Titans’ home venue, underscoring how commanding the Royals’ performance was in a true road environment.

What’s next

  • The First Academy (1–2): The Royals turn the page to a road-heavy stretch, with @ Eau Gallie next on the slate.

  • Treasure Coast (0–3): The Titans look to reset with @ Dunbar before a three-game homestand that includes West Boca Raton and Atlantic.
