Dolphins, Bucs set for showdown
In what could be a preview of four Superbowl championship games, the Plant City Dolphins will travel to Gibsonton to take on the East Bay Bucs this Saturday
Other than the Lakeland Gators’ Pee Wee team, Plant City and East Bay are the only programs in the Tri-County Youth Football and Cheerleading Conference with undefeated teams. East Bay’s Mighty Mite, Pee Wee, Midget, Junior Varsity and Varsity teams are all undefeated and at the top of their respective conference standings. Plant City’s Mighty Mites took their first loss last week, but the Pee Wee, Midget and JV teams remained unbeaten in PCD’s series against the Seffner Seahawks.
Dolphins-Bucs game action starts at 9 a.m. and will take place at the Vance Vogel Sports Complex, 13010 Bullfrog Creek Road, Gibsonton.
