ARCADIA — A freak deflection and a freshman started the onslaught. A late flurry ended it and made sure the game never went the full 80 minutes Tuesday.

DeSoto County High School’s Osiel Nuevo scored twice, including the finisher in the 73rd minute, redirecting a deep ball past Avon Park keeper Brooks Whidden in the Bulldogs’ 8-0 mercy rule victory over the Red Devils.
