Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 0:00Hendrix breaks loose down the sideline before scoring a rushing touchdown for Lakeland.
  2. 0:16Zayden Gamble returns a punt for a touchdown, then adds another score on a deep reception.
  3. 1:39Aquinas muffs a punt, but Lakeland's subsequent field-goal attempt misses.
  4. 2:20Aquinas ties the game, then capitalizes on a mishandled kickoff to move ahead with a field goal.
  5. 3:35The decisive overtime play begins with Hendrix rolling right and throwing toward the end zone.

A missed field goal, a mishandled kickoff and a late lead for St. Thomas Aquinas: Lakeland's route to victory is anything but straight. The finish comes in overtime, when Hendrix rolls right and finds Joseph Howard Jr. in the end zone for a 27-24 win.

MaxPreps bills Aquinas as the nation's top-ranked team, making this an abrupt exit from the first Florida Open Division playoffs. Its highlight reel has drawn about 43,000 views before completing its first day, far beyond the channel's usual audience for regular videos.

There is plenty packed into the short reel. Aquinas' Zayden Gamble turns a low punt into a weaving touchdown return, then gets behind the defense for another score on a deep pass. Lakeland answers through Hendrix's running, including a tackle-breaking touchdown that pulls the teams level.

The kicking game keeps changing the possibilities. Aquinas loses possession on a muffed punt, Lakeland misses a field goal, and a mishandled Lakeland kickoff later gives Aquinas an opening to take the lead. Only then comes the overtime throw.

In the comments, the word "upset" gets its own examination. Several viewers point to Lakeland's championship history as a reason they weren't so surprised, while others single out the Dreadnaughts' speed. For those readers, the result is less an introduction to Lakeland than a reminder.
