TREASURE COAST GETS 36-18 WIN

Jensen Beach High School wide receiver/defensive back Jamien Sherwood put on a show, but Treasure Coast’s offense did more than enough to get the win. The Titans beat Jensen Beach 36-18 in a spring game Friday night at South County Stadium. Treasure Coast rising junior running back Cedrick Wilcox IV rushed 16 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 92 yards and two more scores. Wilcox scored his receiving touchdowns — a 31-yard grab and a 61-yard catch and run — on back-to-back possessions in the third quarter to break the game open. The Titans led 7-6 at halftime. “I think the O-line blocked, opened up the holes for me and I hit them the way I was supposed to,” Wilcox said. “They gave me a lot of time, gave our quarterback a lot of time and when he threw it, I just did what I had to do and catch the ball. “(Quarterback Ashton Houser) is great. He’s only going to get better and he puts it right on the money.” Treasure Coast, which reached the Class 8A regional semifinals in 2016, did most of their damage on the ground. The Titans had 369 yards of total offense — 248 rushing. Still, the coaching staff wasn't afraid to call Houser’s number. In his first varsity game, the rising junior was 3 of 4 for 121 yards and two touchdowns. “I don’t think Ashton had a bad throw all night long,” Titans coach Irvin Jones said. “He’s really, really good for what we do and those touch passes were on the money. And it gives us options. Instead of just running downhill we can throw the ball a little bit, so that’s real good.” Sherwood, the top-ranked player on the TCPalm Super 11, was outstanding in the loss. He caught five passes for 219 yards and three touchdowns, had five carries for 34 yards and a was a physical presence on defense. “What else can I say? I’ve given him so many accolades that I can’t even find anymore,” Falcons coach Tim Caffey said. “He’s a baller. From inside out and that’s the main thing. He can’t do any more than he did. I want the other guys to learn from his leadership. He practices the same way he plays. “He’s a superior athlete. I think he’s one of the best I’ve ever coached, bar none.” Sherwood scored on touchdown passes of 45, 75 and 70 yards — with each catch and run showcasing why so many colleges have been recruiting him. On his second touchdown catch, Sherwood slipped out of the backfield and caught a short pass from quarterback Dylan Duchene and quickly turned up field. He got hit by a Treasure Coast defender near the sideline but regained his balance, accelerated and easily pulled away from the rest of the Titans defense. His final touchdown, in the final minute, was a one-handed grab on a crossing route. He raced across the field and broke two tackles on his way to the end zone. “I know once I get the ball in my hands it’s my job to, at least, do something with it,” Sherwood said. “The main goal is to get six. That’s just me playing. I’m out there having as much fun as I can.”
