Lecanto

JEFF YEARWOOD: The quarterback passed for 175 yards and a touchdown in last week's loss to Crystal River.

Yearwood had backed up Phil Reed prior to that game.

Yearwood's passing total against the Pirates was 23 yards less than what Reed threw for in Lecanto's previous six games.

The Panthers, who have thrown for two TDs this season, will need more balance to end a nine-game losing streak.

Citrus

JUSTIN TAYLOR: Taylor is a gifted two-way player who has big-play potential on both sides of the ball.

The 6-foot-2, 200-pound junior linebacker/wide receiver leads Citrus with 92 tackles and is one of the team's most consistent defenders.

Taylor hasn't caught that many passes, but look for that to change down the stretch. The Hurricanes have shown signs of opening up their offense in recent weeks.

Crystal River

At 5-8, 237 pounds, he is the team's heaviest lineman. With Malott's help, the Pirates have rushed for a county-best 331 yards a game

Crystal River running backs average 8.5 yards a carry.
