Friday night lights are so iconic, they inspired a movie. And just like a Hollywood ending, the hometown team delivered the perfect finish — pulling off a 16-10 Seminole win over previously undefeated and top-ranked Spruce Creek on Homecoming in dramatic fashion.

“At the end of the day, you have to find a way to win,” Seminole coach Karl Calhoun Jr. said. “Battered, bruised, injured and missing people, but guys found a way, stepped up and made great plays.”

One of those plays came with 2:33 left in the game. Facing fourth-and-7, quarterback Jeyson Williams threaded the ball over two defenders and found wide receiver Markel Barber — and from there, it became storybook.

Barber stretched his 6-foot-6 frame over defenders, hauled in the pass, and fought his way 10 yards into the end zone, giving the Seminoles a chance to tie. Kicker Austin Plebanski added the PAT to make it 10-all.

“(Barber) made a great play, (Williams) was rolling out and throwing off his back foot — we couldn’t have drawn it up any crazier,” Calhoun said. “Just a great play at the right time to send it to overtime.”

Spruce Creek nearly spoiled the ending, driving to the Seminole 20-yard line in the final seconds. The Hawks lined up for a potential game-winning field goal with 18 seconds remaining, but Seminole’s defense — which had been stout all night — came through again. The kick ricocheted off the outstretched hands of the defensive line, sending the game to overtime.

In overtime, the Seminole defense struck again, blocking a second field goal in a matter of minutes to set up the win.e
