The Green Division 2011 preseason champions, Lauderdale Bucs, defeated Team Duval in the second set of games with a score of 35-6. Team Duval only scored one touchdown during the game.
The Bucs had a crowd of fans cheering them on as they easily scored against Team Duval’s struggling defensive line. The fans were excited to see their favorite team score touchdown after touchdown.
