The Sonic Drive-In Player-of-the-Game for Friday, Aug. 23, was Darrius Powell of the Santa Fe (Alachua) football team.
Powell gave the Raiders an early 7-0 lead on a 30-yard TD run just one minute into the game as Santa Fe won at Newberry, 22-7. It was the second straight win in the series for Santa Fe (1-0), which won at Newberry for the first time in eight years.
The senior, who finished with 106 yards on 17 carries, added a four yard TD run with 3:39 to play in the second quarter which capped a six-play, 35-yard drive to give the Raiders a 20-7 lead at the half.
