A back-and-forth game that provided both teams with opportunities to win ended in a 20-14 loss in overtime for the Ocoee Knights (1-7, 1-4 district) against Lake Howell (3-4, 2-2 district) Oct. 13.

Tyrese Taylor scored on a short touchdown run in the first quarter and Myles Holder connected with Kendall Bohler for a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that tied the game and sent it to overtime.

Two fumbles proved costly for Ocoee — one late in the fourth quarter and the other in overtime.

Despite that, first-year head coach Jason Boltus expressed pride in the way the Knights continue to battle through a challenging season.

“They battled through adversity the entire night and we were one play away,” Boltus said. “We will continue to grow as one unit and this will prepare us for our moment.”
