  "account": "Lakeland and Lake Wales football teams secured victories in their respective weeks, with Lakeland winning 49-14 against Auburndale and Lake Wales triumphing 66-0 over Brandon. Lakeland's rushing attack, spearheaded by Xavion Mitchell, Ahnarri Cooper, Steward Butler and Matwoin Bryant, played a crucial role in their win. Lake Wales' success was largely due to quarterback Kingston Loydd's five touchdown passes, while defensive standout Jerzey Lighten made a notable sack. In other games, Lake Gibson edged out Osceola with a 23-13 score, Poinciana narrowly missed a comeback win against Winter Haven, George Jenkins barely escaped with a 13-12 victory over Davenport, St. Edwards defeated All Saints 29-0, and Lakeland Christian dominated Moore Haven with a 51-6 score.",
