Talk about your proverbial two-headed monster.

When West Boca Raton needed a big play on special teams or defense, junior defensive lineman Xavier Reid was up for the challenge. Exhibit A would be the Class 6A state championship game as the undefeated Bulls closed out a 15-0 season as Reid held up his end of the bargain with five tackles and a blocked punt to set up a score as West Boca topped Kissimmee Osceola 26-7 at Pitbull Stadium on the campus of FIU Stadium in Miami. “We came out fast in the first quarter and we needed a big play,” Reid said following the team’s first state football championship in program history.
