In a dominant 55\u201314 win, the Makos combined offensive precision with defensive power to put on a complete team performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Makos\u2019 offense was electric from start to finish, scoring seven total touchdowns. Brenden Hall, Kobe Donnally, Jaxson Fillmore, Jamarkus Jefferson, Kemontre Current, Isaiah Gildersleeve, and Deonte Reinhardt each added a touchdown. Reinhardt\u2019s touchdown came on a thrilling kickoff return that sent the home crowd into a frenzy. Kicker Logan Roberts was flawless, converting all seven PATs and tacking on two field goals to cap off the offensive fireworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defensively, Lighthouse was relentless. The unit piled up nine sacks, including one each from Jaden Stuckey, Javontae Walton, Terrance Battles, and Taj Bickham; two from Bryce French; and an incredible three from Paul Gatley\u2014one of which resulted in a key tackle for loss. The secondary was just as fierce, recording five interceptions courtesy of Aarion Riley, Javontae Walton, Justin Burks, Camelus Colley, and Tarik Thomas. Special teams even got in on the action when Kabron Purifoy blocked a field goal attempt and recovered the fumble, keeping momentum firmly in the Makos\u2019 hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With another commanding win under their belts, the Makos now turn their focus to their next challenge. On Saturday, October 11, they\u2019ll travel to Lumpkin County High School in Dahlonega, Georgia, to face The Apprentice School Builders from Newport News, Virginia. It\u2019s shaping up to be a battle of determination and grit\u2014but if the Makos\u2019 latest performance is any indication, they\u2019re more than ready to rise to the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Story and image courtesy Lighthouse Athletics<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GULF BREEZE, Fl. &#8211; On a breezy, balmy Saturday afternoon at Gulf Breeze Stadium, the Lighthouse Christian College Makos welcomed the Gordon State Highlanders for a matchup that promised excitement\u2014and the game did not disappoint.
