Middleton, Fla. – The Villages High School football team capped a perfect regular season with a runaway victory Friday night in Middleton.

The Buffalo finished off an undefeated 10-0 campaign with a resounding win over visiting Hudson, as VHS cruised to a 64-2 victory on Senior Night at H.G. Morse Stadium.

The Villages scored early and often, tallying 376 yards of offense and seven touchdowns on just 18 plays from scrimmage throughout the contest. The Buffalo defense also added two touchdowns, as Richard Jackson returned a fumble for a score and Blake Branham ran back an interception for a touchdown.

Jadence Kennedy finished 6-of-7 passing for 168 yards and three touchdowns, completing a score each to Ja'Marian Clark, Bryce Norflee and Omari Hill.

Tranard Roberts eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark this season with a 68-yard touchdown run in the second quarter – adding another score to tally his 20th rushing touchdown in 2026 – and ultimately finish with 92 yards on just two carries. Antwon Johnson (two carries for 40 yards) and Javari Stephens (six carries for 39 yards) also scored rushing touchdowns in the win.

The VHS defense held Hudson (0-10) to just 91 yards on 39 plays, limiting the visitors to just 2.3 yards per play. Dominic Lopez and Maguire Mellinger led the way with seven tackles apiece.

The Buffalo will now await their postseason fate, having already clinched their playoff spot with a district championship win over South Sumter back on Oct. 23 in Bushnell. VHS is projected to earn the No. 3 seed and host a Class 3A regional quarterfinal on Nov. 13, with the official FHSAA state playoffs bracket to be released at 5 p.m. Friday (Nov. 6).
