Football: Caputo carries Barron Collier

CAPE CORAL -- Already eliminated from postseason play, Barron

Collier High School got a peek at its future.

His name is Nick Caputo.

The sophomore quarterback, in his first career start, threw for

266 yards and one touchdown Friday night as the Cougars handily

defeated Cape Coral, 56-21.

With Caputo torching the Seahawks through the air, a familiar

face burned Cape Coral on the ground. Junior Moises Plancher rushed

for 157 yards and five touchdowns as the Cougars ended Cape Coral's

hopes of advancing in Class 5A District 12.

The BC victory clinched a playoff berth for Lely.

Caputo's touchdown came during a 42-point Cougar first half.

With BC up 7-0, Caputo, who was 13-of-26 on the night, looked like

he was going to be sacked but was able to get off an off-balance

side-armed pass. Tight end Brent Billingham was the recipient of

the 13-yard touchdown.

Plancher had TD runs of 7, 2, 3, 5 and 15 yards as the Cougars

improved to 5-4 on the season. Will Scrivens added 121 yards on

nine carries and scored two touchdowns.
