Friday Night Hits: High school football recaps and scores in Central Florida

WELCOME TO FRIDAY NIGHT HITS ALONGSIDE KRISTEN LAGO. I AM DAREN STOLZFUS IT IS THE FINAL WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON. WEEK 11 AND ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SEASON COMING TO AN END. IT IS FOR SOME TONIGHT. IT’S KIND OF CRAZY THAT WE’RE HERE ALREADY. WE DO HAVE SOME MAKEUP GAMES NEXT THURSDAY THANKS TO HURRICANE MILTON, BUT YES, TONIGHT SUPPOSED TO BE THE REGULAR SEASON FINALE AND THE SCHEDULE DEFINITELY REFLECTED THAT. ABSOLUTELY. SOME FANTASTIC RIVALRY SHOWDOWNS ON THE SLATE FOR TONIGHT, INCLUDING OUR GAME OF THE WEEK. DOCTOR PHILLIPS, THE SCHOOL THAT SPLIT OFF FROM WEST ORANGE NEARLY 40 YEARS AGO, HOSTING THE WARRIORS. THE BATTLE FOR THE OLD ORANGE CRATE. THEY’VE MET EIGHT TIMES IN THE LAST DECADE. EACH SCHOOL WINNING FOUR TIMES. AND THIS YEAR, BOTH WITH JUST ONE LOSS. ENTERING TONIGHT’S CLASH. THAT ORANGE CRATE? WHO DOESN’T WANT TO WIN THAT OUT IN THE SHADOWS OF UNIVERSAL STUDIOS? ONLY ONE CAN CLAIM THE CRATE HERE IN 2024. EARLY FIRST QUARTER STANLEY ANDERSON LOFTON LOOKING DEEP. HE FINDS HIS MAN CAM DIXON REELS IT IN, DOES THE REST. PANTHERS UP SEVEN TO NOTHING. A LITTLE BIT LATER, THE HANDOFF WILL GO TO KEN WHITE. HE’LL PLUNGE IN FROM ABOUT A YARD OUT. MISS PATTY MADE IT A 13 THREE LEAD FOR DP. THIRD QUARTER. THIS WAS A WEIRD ONE. DOCTOR PHILLIPS DIDN’T HAVE A SINGLE POSSESSION. WEST ORANGE CAPITALIZING ON A NEARLY TEN MINUTE DRIVE WHEN BRIAN DILLARD FINDS RYAN BROWN FOR THE SCORE. BUT DOCTOR PHILLIPS JUST TOO MUCH FOR THE WARRIORS TO HANDLE IN THIS ONE. FOURTH QUARTER. ANDERSON LOFTON WILL FIND DIXON ONCE AGAIN. SECOND TOUCHDOWN OF THE DAY FOR THOSE TWO. THE OLD ORANGE CRATE STILL BELONGS TO THE PANTHERS. WITH MORE FROM OUR GAME OF THE WEEK. HERE’S WESH 2’S ZACH MASKAVICH. HEY THERE DAREN AND CHRISTOPHER. WE TALKED ABOUT IT EARLIER. THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF THE COOLEST RIVALRY NICKNAMES IN ALL OF CENTRAL FLORIDA. THE BATTLE FOR THE OLD ORANGE CRATE. IT’S A RIVALRY THAT DATES BACK TO 1987. IN THAT VERY FIRST MEETING, IT WAS WEST ORANGE THAT CAME AWAY WITH A SEVEN NOTHING WIN. AND FAST FORWARD TO THE 2024 VERSION AND IT’S DOCTOR PHILLIPS THAT WILL KEEP THE OLD ORANGE CRATE HERE IN THE SHADOWS OF UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. AND YOU CAN TELL HOW MUCH A RIVALRY WIN OF THIS MAGNITUDE MEANS TO THE PLAYERS AND THE COACHES. IT’S A BIG GAME, BIG RIVALRY. LIKE I SAID, PREGAME, I PLAYED IN THIS GAME WHEN I WAS 15 YEARS OLD. I HELD THAT CRATE WHEN I WAS 15 AND BE 30 YEARS LATER. IT’S SOMETHING SPECIAL TO US ALL. IT MEANS A LOT TO BE ABLE TO INK OURSELVES ON THAT CRATE MY SENIOR YEAR. IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME. WE CAME INTO THIS WEEK KNOWING WE HAD TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS THAT WE HAD AGAINST EDGEWATER, WHICH WAS WEEKS PAST. WE’RE STILL TRYING TO GET BETTER EVERY DAY. THIS IS ONE STEP TOWARDS PERFECTION, SO NOW IT’S PLAYOFF TIME FOR BOTH OF THESE TEAMS. DOCTOR PHILLIPS HEADS INTO THE PLAYOFFS, FINISHING THE REGULAR SEASON EIGHT AND ONE ON THE YEAR. MEANWHILE, WEST ORANGE WILL LOOK TO BOUNCE BACK IN WEEK ONE OF THE PLAYOFFS. THEY FINISHED THE REGULAR SEASON SEVEN AND TWO ON THE SEASON AT OUR GAME OF THE WEEK AT DOCTOR PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL ZACH MASKAVICH WESH TWO SPORTS. THANK YOU ZACH OUR FAN PICK POLL. ANOTHER TIGHT RACE ON WESH.COM LESS THAN TEN VOTES DECIDED THIS ONE. I LOVE A CLOSE ONE, BUT BISHOP MOORE AT LAKE MARY THE GAME THAT WILL GET A LITTLE EXTRA LOVE TONIGHT. A BATTLE OF BIG TIME QUARTERBACKS IN THIS ONE. YEAH. ROSCOE THE RAM BETTING ON NOAA GRUBBS AND LAKE MARY TO FINISH OUT THE REGULAR SEASON WITH A DUB. BUT BJORN JORGENSEN AND THE HORNETS WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT. OPENING DRIVE HANDOFF GOES TO AMARI JOHNSON. UP THE GUT. AND IN FOR SIX. HE GOES. HORNETS WERE BUZZING IN THE FIRST QUARTER. BISHOP MOORE WOULD DOUBLE THE LEAD RIGHT HERE. JURGENSEN ON THE KEEPER. TOUCHDOWN HORNETS. LAKE MARY DOWN 14 TO 3 BEFORE THE OFFENSE FINALLY CAME TO LIFE. FIRST GRUBBS AT THE GOAL LINE TO GIVE THE RAMS SOME ENERGY. AND THEN A LITTLE LATER HE DECIDES TO SHOW OFF THE ARM AS WELL. FAKES THE HANDOFF AND SLINGS IT TO CARSON FREEMAN. WATCH THIS. HE WILL NOT GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT. MAKES HIS WAY ALL THE WAY INTO THE END ZONE. RAMS BATTLING BACK TO TAKE DOWN THE HORNETS 34 TO 16 IS THE FINAL. LITERALLY FIGHTING OCOEE LOOKING TO SPOIL JONES IS UNDEFEATED SEASON TONIGHT. FIGHTING TIGERS JUST TWO WINS AWAY FROM ACHIEVING THEIR FIRST TEN ZERO SEASON SINCE 1968. KNIGHTS PRETTY FIRED UP FOR THIS ONE, THOUGH. FIRST PASS PLAY OF THE GAME JONES QUARTERBACK TO DARIAN COLEMAN LAUNCHES IT, BUT HOW ABOUT OCOEE’S JOSH GREER WHO COMES UP WITH IT. THAT’S AN INTERCEPTION. KNIGHTS OFFENSE THOUGH CANNOT PUT TOGETHER A SCORING DRIVE. SCORELESS AFTER THE FIRST QUARTER. FIGHTING TIGERS GOING BACK TO THE RUN THIS TIME. JAQUEL SMITH WILL MUSCLE HIS WAY IN FOR THE SCORE. THAT’S HALF THE TOUCHDOWNS TONIGHT. SEVEN NOTHING AT THE BREAK. THEY HANG ON. IT IS A 14 NOTHING WIN JONES IS STILL UNDEFEATED. ALL RIGHT. FLYING OVER EVANS. OR EXCUSE ME EVANS COMING OFF BACK TO BACK LOSSES TAKING OUT THEIR FRUSTRATIONS. YEAH YOU COULD SAY THAT ON OAK RIDGE TONIGHT. PIONEERS PUNTING. NOBODY WILL PICK IT UP UNTIL DAREN ROGERS SAYS I’LL TAKE THAT. NOBODY EVEN TOUCHES HIM. TAKES IT ALL THE WAY TO THE HOUSE TO PUT THE TROJANS IN FRONT. AT THAT POINT, IT WAS 63 TO NOTHING MORE FROM EVANS, THOUGH, WAS COMING. NASIR MCMILLAN BACK TO PASS. NOBODY OPEN. SO HE TUCKS IT AND SCORES IT. NOBODY TOUCHES HIM EITHER. EVANS WITH A HUGE WIN TONIGHT 69 TO NOTHING IS THE FINAL SCORE. WHO GOT A D UP. ALL RIGHT. ONE OF THE LONGEST RUNNING RIVALRIES IN CENTRAL FLORIDA IS ONE OF THE MOST SPIRITED ONES. AS WELL. BOONE AND EDGEWATER CLOSING OUT THE REGULAR SEASON AGAINST EACH OTHER AS THEY TYPICALLY DO LOVE THESE RIVALRIES. BOONE TRYING TO BREAK THROUGH THE BRAIN. BRAIN, THE BRAINS BRAVES HAD LOST SIX STRAIGHT TO THE EAGLES, ENTERING TONIGHT, HAD IT KNOCKED OFF EDGEWATER SINCE 2017. THAT MEANS THE SPIRIT BARREL. THERE IT IS. HAS RESIDED AT EDGEWATER FOR QUITE A WHILE. EAGLES HOPING TO KEEP THAT ON THEIR SIDELINE AT NIGHT’S END. BUT BOONE WAS FEELING GOOD. HAD ONLY ALLOWED THREE POINTS IN THE LAST THREE GAMES COMBINED COMING INTO THIS ONE, BUT EDGEWATER TOPPED THAT THEIR OPENING DRIVE. CARTER EMANUEL, QUARTERBACK KEEPER MAKES IT SEVEN TO NOTHING ENSUING DRIVE. BRAVES GO FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN IN EAGLES TERRITORY AS XAVIER DENMARK SAYS NO, NO, NO. THAT WOULD LEAD TO A QUICK SCORE HERE. JULIAN PRIME PUTTING SIX ON THE BOARD. A FEW PLAYS LATER 14 NOTHING. EDGEWATER SECOND QUARTER JOSH PERRY WEAVING HIS WAY THROUGH TRAFFIC IN FOR THE SCORE. THIS WAS ALL EDGEWATER TONIGHT 4214. THE FINAL SCORE ON TO THIS MAYOR’S CUP ON THE LINE AT WEKIVA. STAYING TRYING TO HAND THE BLUE DARTERS THEIR FIFTH STRAIGHT LOSS OF THE SEASON. BUT APOPKA NOT GOING DOWN THAT EASY. BLUE DARTERS WOULD GO UP 13. NOTHING AFTER THE TOUCHDOWN THERE FROM JACKIE SANDERS. WEKIVA CHEERLEADERS TRYING TO GET THE HOME TEAM GOING BUT NOT SURE THIS IS WHAT THEY WANTED. JACKSON KELLER EVADES THE PRESSURE, MAKES THE PASS, BUT INTO THE HANDS OF APOPKA. HENRY PICKARD. IT GOES. INTERCEPTION FOR APOPKA. BIG PLAY BY THE DEFENSE MEETS. BIG PLAY BY THE OFFENSE. TYSON DAVISON DROPS A BEAUTY HERE TO ALEXANDER ROSSI FOR THE SCORE. WEKIVA FIGHTS BACK BUT CAN’T CATCH APOPKA IN THE END. 20 TO 16 IS THE FINAL. WELL THEY SHARE A STADIUM AND A SIMILAR APPRECIATION FOR EACH OTHER. SEABREEZE AND MAINLAND MEETING IN DAYTONA BEACH. THIRD PLAY OF THE GAME SEABREEZE GOING LONG. KWASI KWAKU JUNIOR PICKS IT OFF AND LOOK AT HIM. JUST TAKE HIS TIME. WEAVES HIS WAY BACK 76 YARDS ALL THE WAY TO THE HOUSE. EIGHT GETS SIX. MAINLAND UP SIX TO NOTHING. MAINLAND’S FIRST OFFENSIVE POSSESSION WOULD END IN SIMILAR FASHION. THEY’LL TOSS IT UP HERE. SEBASTIAN JOHNSON TO JAMIL PATRICK FOR 30 YARDS AND A TOUCHDOWN 13 NOTHING 20 NOTHING. BUCKS. IN THE SECOND QUARTER, THE BAND PLENTY TO DANCE ABOUT CHRISTIAN COOPER REELING IN A TOUCHDOWN HERE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM. BUT PRIDE NEVER DIES. AND THEY DON’T ALLOW POINTS EITHER. 53 TO NOTHING. THE FINAL SCORE FLYING OVER OVIEDO NOW THE LIONS ENTERING THE DEN OUT IN EUSTIS TONIGHT EARLY GOING. OVIEDO WILL BE ON THE ATTACK. DYLAN EDWARDS WHO WILL BREAK FREE UNDERNEATH THE TREES. HE WILL GO IN FOR THE SCORE THERE. WE PROMISE YOU. SEVEN TO NOTHING. LIONS TEN NOTHING. OVIEDO. NOW MORE LIONS. HANDOFF JOHNNY COBBS GOES IN FOR SIX. ALL. OVIEDO TONIGHT. THIS IS A THEME. YET ANOTHER SHUTOUT IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. 59 TO NOTHING IS THE FINAL POINTS ON THE BOARD. FLY OVER TO MOUNT DORA HURRICANES HOSTING THE VILLAGES CHARTER HURRICANES HOWLING EARLY DOWN 13. NOTHING. HERE THEY COME. BIG RUN FROM TANNER WEARING FIVE THOUGH WOULD GET SHOVED OUT AT THE FIVE YARD LINE SOON AFTER THOUGH MOUNT DORA WOULD GET IN THE END ZONE THROUGH THE AIR. HURRICANES TRYING TO GET BACK INTO THIS ONE WITH THE VILLAGES CHARTER WOULD ANSWER PATRICK HARDING WILL FIND AMARI HILL IN FOR A LONG TOUCHDOWN. AND GET THIS THE BUFFALO BETTER BY A POINT TONIGHT. EVERY POINT MATTERS. 2726 THE FINAL SCORE SCORES FROM AROUND THE AREA. WINDERMERE PULLS OFF A PERFECT SEASON IN OVERTIME OVER HORIZON 13 SEVEN THE FINAL. THERE WINTER PARK GETS PAST OLYMPIA 2117. AND WE’VE GOT SOME MORE SCORES FOR YOU THIS TIME FROM THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS HERE. MASTERS ACADEMY WITH A BIG TIME WIN, 55 TO 14 OVER LAKE HIGHLAND PREP AND THEN MOUNT DORA FALLING 42 TO 7 TO CHRIST CHURCH ACADEMY. THOSE WERE PLAYOFF SCORES AS WELL. WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED HERE ON FRIDAY NIGHT HITS. WHEN WE COME BACK, MORE ACTION, ESPECIALLY FROM OUT ON THE SPACE COAST. OH YEAH, AND BARBECUE ON THE LINE IN BREVARD COUNTY. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE BARBECUE BOWL. ROCKLEDGE. COCOA IS NEXT. WELCOME BACK. OUT IN BREVARD COUNTY, THE COCOA TIGERS HAVE BEEN QUITE SELFISH WHEN IT COMES TO EATING BARBECUE. AT THE END OF THE SEASON. HOW RUDE OF THEM. COCOA. FOUR STRAIGHT WINS OVER THEIR RIVALS FROM ROCKLEDGE IN THE ANNUAL BARBECUE BOWL. BUT WHO WOULD BE EATING TONIGHT OUT TO THE BOWL WE GO. FIRST HALF, FOUR MINUTES TO GO. RAIDERS. THEY’RE IN TROUBLE. ROCKLEDGE TRYING TO MAKE UP SOME GROUND ISRAEL. MONTANEZ FLUSHED OUT OF THE POCKET. HIT WHILE HE THROWS IN THAT ONE IS INTERCEPTED. HUGE PLAY BY THE COCOA DEFENSE TANK.
