Flagler Palm Coast senior defensive end Colby Cronk was a one-man wrecking crew in the Bulldogs' 48-0 victory over Lake Brantley.

Cronk, who committed last March to North Carolina State, not only put on a show for the home fans on Sept. 13, but he also became FPC's all-time sacks leader.

Cronk had five sacks to give him 35.5 for his career, breaking the old record of 32.5 set by Bulldogs assistant coach Mike London.

Cronk's sacks were only part of his superb performance against the Patriots. He also had 14 tackles, including 11 tackles for loss, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble.

"He made every play. It was crazy," FPC coach Daniel Fish said.

Another Bulldog is on the verge of setting a school record. Running back Marcus Mitchell rushed for 105 yards against Lake Brantley to leave him 211 yards short of Que’Shaun Byrd's career rushing record of 3,402 yards.

Byrd, like London, is an FPC assistant coach. He could see Mitchell break his record this week in the Bulldogs' homecoming game against Zephyrhills Christian Academy on Friday, Sept. 20. Zephyrhills Christian (1-2) allowed 294 yards rushing in a 35-12 loss to Haines City on Aug. 23.

FPC improved to 3-0 with the dominating win over Lake Brantley (1-3). The Bulldogs took a 48-0 lead with seven minutes left in the first half. The second half was played under a running clock.

Hayden Hayes passed for 273 yards with three touchdowns. Mikhail Zysek caught three passes for 79 yards and two touchdowns.
