Coral Glades leads before lightning stops play as four local football teams lose
Coral Springs, Florida – Coral Glades will have to wait to finish its latest football game after lightning interrupted play with the Jaguars ahead. Four other local teams completed their games with losses as the regular season moved closer to its final weeks.
The Jaguars held a 7-0 advantage midway through the second quarter when play was suspended. The game is scheduled to resume Monday, October 19, at 5 p.m., leaving the result undecided until the teams return to the field.
For Coral Springs Charter, a strong passing performance was not enough to overcome North Broward Prep. The Panthers lost 41-27, bringing their season record to 3-6.

Parkridge Christian dropped to 2-7 after a loss to Pine Crest School. The Panthers will finish their season against Marathon High School on Friday, October 30, at 7 p.m.
Marathon enters the upcoming matchup with a 1-6 record. Its only victory came against Babcock High School, meaning both teams will be looking to add to limited win totals when they meet.
Before those games, Coral Glades has unfinished business on Monday. The Jaguars’ seven-point lead remains in place, but their suspended contest has yet to produce a final result.
