The football Hurricanes of Coral Shores High School have one final shot to get in the win column this season.
The hard-luck grid team, which fell to 0-8 following a 55-6 loss Friday night to Chaminade-Madonna's Lions, hosts Archbishop Carroll at 7:30 p.m. this Friday at George M. Barley Jr. Memorial Stadium at Coral Shores' Tavernier campus.
Carroll's Bulldogs stand at just 2-6, but are coming off a 48-20 win over Doral Academy.
Friday against the Lions, the Hurricanes were facing a dominant force, as Chaminade came into the game standing at 8-0.
The Lions racked up 347 yards in a game in which the running clock was in effect at four minutes remaining for the half.
The score was 41-0 at halftime as the Lions scored touchdowns in their first six possessions in the second half, and the defense held the Hurricanes to 27 total yards and three first downs, two coming by penalties.
Jerrard Randall threw four touchdown passes, three to Curt Evans. The Lions also had scoring runs from Charles Takeh (57 yards) and Jonathan Aiken (30). Each of those scoring drives was completed in four plays or less. Randall completed four of five passes for 167 yards before sitting out the second half.
In the second half, the Lions took advantage of two turnovers, converting them into running scores by Giovanni Giordano and Cody Edwards in runs of 4 and 54 yards, respectively.
The Hurricanes (0-8) avoided the shutout on a Courtney Dixon 1-yard run during the visitors' final possession.
