Reynolds, Joyner run over Hernando in 29-13 win

Hernando High football coach John Palmer just needs his team to take advantage of a few opportunities.
His team missed some chances as Wesley Chapel High (2-2) downed Hernando (1-3) Friday night at Tom Fisher Memorial Stadium, 29-13.
"We moved the ball well at times,'' Palmer said. "Then, coming down, we will have a penalty or interception. We have to capitalize and that's part of growing and becoming a better team."
