ST. PETERSBURG - In the last game of its first football season, the Canterbury School of Florida celebrated its first victory, outscoring Mount Dora Bible Academy 14-7.

The Crusaders also received the Pinellas County Referees Association sportsmanship trophy, awarded by those who officiate at all public and private school football games throughout the county.
"So it's a big deal," Ball said.
