Naples Wins Florida's 3A Championship


Naples capped a perfect 15-0 season Friday with a 17-10 win over St. Augustine to win Florida 3A high school football championship.

The game came down to the fourth quarter and was decided on the play of both team's special teams. First, St. Augustine misfired on a punt in its own territory that resulted in a Naples safety and cut St. Augustine's lead to 10-9 with 9:03 to play in the game. Then, thanks to a 58-yard return by Antwain Harvey off St. Augustine's free kick, Naples was able to score the winning touchdown on a 34-yard run by junior running back Greg Pratt.

The title was the first for Naples since 2001.
