Orlando, FL (AP) - Randy "Duke" Johnson scored five touchdowns as Miami Norland defeated Crawfordville Wakulla 38-0 in the Florida High School Athletic Association Class 5A football finals.

Johnson scored four rushing touchdowns Friday, adding a 69-yard kickoff in the second quarter to put Norland up 23-0 at halftime. His final carry was a 40-yard touchdown run.

The 5-foot-9, 175-pound running back had 130 yards rushing and 54 yards receiving.

Norland (15-0) was equally good on defense as the Vikings yielded just 58 yards and five first downs to an overmatched Wakulla (12-3) team.

Quarterback Tony Thomas was 9-of-12 for 125 yards while wide receiver Darren Owi caught four passes for 69 yards. Deonte Hutchinson led Wakulla with two catches for 25 yards while linebacker Tamrick Holmes had a game-high 14 tackles.

lol College coaches wear Camo hats for games. Its not because they are from Wakulla it represents the US Troops. The scratched helmets are not because they are poor , a player with a lot of scratches on his helmet signifies that he is a hard hitter. Most guys like those scratches,they are like war marks. As for the game plan, I thought the coaches kind of got prideful here. They thought they could just play like its another game against a nationally ranked squad. Could have had a better game plan. But I guess thats what you get when only the head coach can coach and most of the assistants save one or two are clowns.

Hey Justine. That "but you all can". Maybe we should throw getting an education besides the losing the camo hat and scratched helmets. Let's get for real here. Wakulla only made State because Putnam went for 3 instead of 7. Like you said, yall all :) not the richest of all. lmao.
