  "account": "High school football games in the Treasure Coast area concluded Week 7 with notable victories for Vero Beach, John Carroll Catholic, and Port St. Lucie.\n\nVero Beach overcame a halftime deficit to defeat Mainland 24-22. The Buccaneers trailed 15-8 through three quarters but capitalized on an interception and a 54-yard touchdown pass from Makai White to Latravious Woods in the fourth quarter. Latravious Woods' interception led to a field goal, while Jayden Lockhart scored both of Vero's touchdowns in the fourth quarter.\n\nIn another game, John Carroll Catholic dominated Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy 39-14. Head coach Mickey Groody compared this week's victory to last season's road win against the same opponent, noting that his team trailed some points in the second half but still won comfortably. Carter Cullen led the Rams with 329 passing yards and four touchdowns, while K.J. Davis had a key 11-yard touchdown reception.\n\nPort St. Lucie secured their first win of the season with a 27-20 victory over Okeechobee. Everette Alford's Jaguars outlasted the Brahmans on the road, with Felix Lopez forcing a fumble and recovering it at the goal line. Al Xavier Bulgin threw four touchdown passes, connected with Eric Williams and Landon Human, who finished with six receptions for 150 yards.",
