LARGO -- Brynn Harvey led Largo's rushing attack, as the Packers (3-0) ran over the Green Devils 28-0 Thursday night. Harvey rushed 25 times for 216 yards and 3 touchdowns, including a 30-yarder on his first score.

On the ensuing kickoff, the Packers recovered an onside kick. Two plays later, Largo was in the end zone again, as Harvey scored for a second time.

Largo played without starting quarterback Leonard Johnson, who missed the game with an ankle injury. He is expected to play next week.

A second-half interception by Marcel Durham led to more Packer points. Shawn Holte ran the ball in from 18 yards out and the rout was on. Holte finished the game rushing for 44 yards on seven carries. Harvey finished off the scoring with a 5-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

The game was filled with penalties -- each team was called for five personal fouls -- and most of them were for hits after play was over.

Mike Wilson ran for 42 yards on 13 carries for the Green Devils, and quarterback Robert Lemon completed two passes in the game.

The Packers will host the Dunedin Falcons next week, and the Green Devils will return home to face the Boca Ciega Pirates.
