    Friday Night Hits: All game recaps and scores of Central Florida high school football

    WELCOME TO FRIDAY NIGHT HITS ALONGSIDE ZACH MASKAVICH. I’M DAREN STOLZFUS. WE’LL CHECK IN WITH KRISTEN LAGO IN JUST A BIT. YEAH. TONIGHT, WEEK ONE OF THE REGULAR SEASON. WHAT DO THE THEY HAVE TO DO FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON TO GET INTO THE WIN COLUMN? OBVIOUSLY WE HAD A BUNCH OF GOOD KICKOFF CLASSIC GAMES LAST WEEK. A FEW PRIVATE SCHOOLS DID PLAY A WEEK AGO, BUT FOR A MAJORITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA TONIGHT, THE ROAD TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP BEGINS. OUR GAME OF THE WEEK WAS A SHORT DRIVE FROM WESH TWO STUDIOS OVER TO BISHOP MOORE IN COLLEGE PARK. THE HORNETS AND THE OVIEDO LIONS CLASHING TONIGHT. YEAH, OVIEDO, COMING OFF A CONFIDENCE WIN BUILDING WIN WITH AS THEY TOOK DOWN LAKE MARY TO WARM UP THE SEASON, WHILE BISHOP MOORE LOST A TIGHT BATTLE WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS, THE EDGEWATER EAGLES, IN THEIR KICKOFF CLASSIC. YEAH, BOTH TEAMS HAVE PRETTY BIG GOALS THIS YEAR. LIONS AND THE HORNETS TANGLING OVER THERE IN COLLEGE PARK. BISHOP MOORE WASTED NO TIME IN FORCING A FUMBLE ON THE FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME. HERE IS PLAY NUMBER TWO. AMARI JOHNSON TAKES IT TO THE HOUSE. PART OF A HUGE FIRST HALF FOR NUMBER 21. A FEW MINUTES LATER OVIEDO ALREADY DOWN 14. NOTHING THEY DO STRIKE BACK. SEBASTIAN GALEANO PERFECT BALL TO DESHAWN. FAVORS. NOBODY CATCHES HIM THAT CUT THE BISHOP MOORE LEAD IN HALF BUT BACK COME THE HORNETS BLAKE MCCULLOUGH WITH THE BEAUTIFUL PASS OF HIS OWN. MAGNUS TALMA HAULS IT IN. WE LOVE MAGNUS’S NAME HERE. THE POINTS WERE COMING IN BUNCHES IN THE FIRST HALF AND PRETTY MUCH ALL NIGHT LONG AS WELL. LIONS GOING BACK TO THEIR BAG OF TRICKS HERE. WIDE RECEIVER PASS JORDAN DONAHUE TO BROCK JOYCE. WHAT A BALL. BUT THE HORNETS WOULD NOT BE DENIED JOHNSON AGAIN. HIS THIRD RUSHING TOUCHDOWN OF THE FIRST HALF. HOW ABOUT THIS FINAL SCORE. BISHOP MOORE 68 OVIEDO 35. BMC WINS TONIGHT. BIG WIN TO START THE SEASON. THEIR DAREN. EARLIER, WE MENTIONED THAT LAKE MARY LOST THEIR KICKOFF CLASSIC GAME. BUT THERE’S NO QUESTION THE RAMS HAVE BIG GOALS FOR THIS SEASON, ESPECIALLY AS THEY FINISH AS THE STATE RUNNER UP A YEAR AGO. YEAH. AND WHEN YOU HAVE THE FUTURE NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL QUARTERBACK AS YOUR GUY, NOAH GRUBBS, PRETTY MUCH A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP OR BUST. AND HEY, WE PICKED THE GAME OF THE WEEK. BUT HERE ON FRIDAY NIGHT YOU GET TO PICK TWO. THIS ONE, THE BIG GAME. YEAH COMING FROM UP NORTH COMING UP NORTH FROM MIAMI. IT WAS NORLAND PAYING A VISIT TO THE RAMS. NOT THE START THEY ENVISIONED. FIRST QUARTER. THAT WAS VIKINGS QUARTERBACK KAI MOORE FINDING MALACHI JOHNSON FOR THE SCORE. THE RAMS GET A SMALL BIT OF REVENGE HERE. THEY BLOCK THE EXTRA POINT. SO IT WAS JUST 13. NOTHING. INSTEAD OF 14 NOTHING LAKE MARY WOULD GET ON THE BOARD A LITTLE BIT LATER. HERE NOAH GRUBBS FINDS HIS BIG WIDE RECEIVER. THAT’S BARRETT SCHULTZ THAT CUTS IT TO A ONE SCORE GAME. BUT NORLAND WOULD ANSWER RIGHT BACK. A FEW MINUTES LATER. RASHAD WALLACE HE’S GOING TO SHOW OFF HIS POWER RUNNING MOVES AS HE’S GOING TO BUST THIS ONE IN. THEY GET THE TWO POINT CONVERSION THAT WOULD MAKE IT 19 SEVEN VIKINGS. GRUBBS TRYING TO MAKE THE COMEBACK HERE. BUT THEN THIS HAPPENS. JALEEL ALEX JUNIOR TAKES IT TO THE HOUSE. BUT IT’S NOT A TALE OF TRAGEDY. DAREN DESPITE WHAT YOU JUST SAW THERE, AFTER GIVING UP 29 POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF, THE RAMS COMPLETE THE COMEBACK. THEY WIN IT 3029. ALWAYS HAVE A SHOT WHEN NOAH GRUBBS IS YOUR QUARTERBACK. THAT IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING HERE. ALSO AT HALFTIME THE RAMS DEDICATING THEIR FIELD AT THE HALF. MORE THAN $700,000 RENOVATION TO THEIR STADIUM, INCLUDING NEW TURF, WHICH WILL NOW BE CALLED DOUG PETERS FIELD. PETERS WAS A LONGTIME COACH, ATHLETIC DIRECTOR AND TEACHER AT LAKE MARY HIGH SCHOOL, WORKED WITH RAMS ATHLETICS FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS. LAKE MARY ISN’T THE ONLY TEAM WITH HIGH EXPECTATIONS. JONES ALSO MADE IT TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP A YEAR AGO, AND THEIR QUARTERBACK IS ALSO ELITE DAREN COLEMAN. HE’S HEADING TO MIAMI AT THE END OF THE SEASON, AND JONES FULLY EXPECTS TO TRY TO GET BACK TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME THIS SEASON. BUT WANTING THE RESULT TO GO DIFFERENTLY IN THAT TITLE GAME TURNED OUT TO WINTER PARK. GREAT CROWD AT SHOWALTER FIELD, HIGH ABOVE WINTER PARK IS CHOPPER TWO, AS WINTER PARK TASTES ONE OF THEIR FIRST TESTS THIS EARLY SEASON. EARLY GOING LONG DRIVE CAPPED OFF FOR JONES BY DARIAN COLEMAN, QUARTERBACK KEEPER, FUTURE MIAMI HURRICANE IN FOR SIX. AND HOW ABOUT THE ACTION ON THE LINE RYAN DUVAL RIPS DOWN THE QUARTERBACK A BIG SACK IN THE BACKFIELD. ALL JONES TONIGHT FIGHTING. TIGERS TOP THE WILDCATS 35. NOTHING. THE FINAL SCORE. CHOPPER TWO HIGH OVER SANFORD AS SEMINOLE WAS HOSTING CREEKSIDE COMING DOWN FROM GEORGIA LATE FIRST HALF THE NOLES IN A HOLE. BUT HOW ABOUT THE DEFENSE HERE. LOOK AT THIS. GOING UPSTAIRS FOR THE PASS BREAKUP. IT DIDN’T RESULT IN A TURNOVER, BUT IT DID SET THE STAGE FOR THIS THE NEXT PLAY. LOOK AT THE PRESSURE ON THE QUARTERBACK HIT AS HE THROWS. THIS ONE IS A TURNOVER. THAT’S THE FINAL PLAY OF THE HALF. THE NOLES WERE DOWN NINE. NOTHING AT THE BREAK. AND IN THE END SEMINOLE WHO WAS HELD SCORELESS IN THEIR KICKOFF CLASSIC. THEY’RE ALSO HELD SCORELESS TONIGHT. CREEKSIDE 32 NOTHING. THE FINAL AT ALL TIME. APOPKA 18 ZERO AGAINST OCOEE. THAT WOULD CHANGE TONIGHT. A LITTLE EXTRA ON THE LINE WITH THIS ONE. SOME FORMER DARTERS NOW WEARING ALL BLACK IN THIS RIVALRY SHOWDOWN. SECOND QUARTER KNIGHTS DRIVING TYSON DAVISON. YEAH, HE WAS APOPKA’S QUARTERBACK FOR THREE YEARS. HE LIGHTS UP HIS FORMER TEAM TONIGHT. DEMARION CAWTHON GETS THE TOUCHDOWN THERE 14 NOTHING. OCOEE IN FRONT. THE DEFENSE DOING IT FOR THE KNIGHTS AS WELL KENDRICK SIDDELL RIPS DOWN THE INTERCEPTION. EVERYTHING GOING HIS WAY. STILL BEFORE THE HALF. DAVISON FINDS CHRISTIAN LINGARD FOR THE SCORE. OCOEE KNOCKS OFF APOPKA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SCHOOL HISTORY. AND IN A BIG, BIG WAY. 47 TO NOTHING. THE FINAL SCORE. LOOK AT THAT HISTORY BEING MADE. HOW ABOUT THIS THE GOODYEAR BLIMP OVER COLLEGE PARK AS EDGEWATER WAS HOSTING WEKIVA EARLY GOING. THE EAGLES WERE DRIVING WHEN THE STAN GANG MAKES THE PLAY, CARTER EMANUEL BUYING TIME. BUT HE BUYS TIME FOR THE WRONG REASON, THROWS IT TO THE WRONG TEAM. THAT’S MATTHEW BEECHAM FOR THE MUSTANGS COMING UP WITH THE INTERCEPTION. BUT THAT JUST BACKS UP WEKIVA. THEY END UP PUNTING FROM THEIR OWN END. IT’S BLOCKED AND IT’S GOING TO BE EASILY SCOOPED UP. AND ZAY DENMARK TAKES IT IN FOR THE SCORE. THEN HOW ABOUT DAMIEN MOORE. JUST MAKING IT LOOK EASY HERE DAREN BREEZING PAST PEOPLE. THE LINEBACKER TURNED RUNNING BACK LOOKING ABSOLUTELY ELITE. AND HOW ABOUT FOR GOOD MEASURE, WE ADD SOME MORE SPECIAL TEAMS PLAY HERE. HOW ABOUT JUSTIN EDWARDS. JUNIOR COMES UP WITH A BLOCKED PUNT THROUGH THE SUN. RECOVERS IT IN THE END ZONE. END ZONE. EDGEWATER EVISCERATES WEKIVA 65 EIGHT. THAT FINAL SCORE OUT AT WEST ORANGE WARRIORS. PLAYING HOST TO EVANS. THIRD QUARTER ANDREW CHUNG GOING TO TOSS THIS ONE DOWNFIELD. EDISON DELGADO GOING TO REEL IT IN. WELL NOPE. HE CAN’T COME UP WITH IT. INSTEAD IT’S A FUMBLE EVANS GETS THAT FOOTBALL. IT’S NOT GREAT. THIS ONE WAS BACK AND FORTH THOUGH. YEAH LET’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS. GIVE ME THAT FINAL SCORE. THERE’S THE BAND. SOMETIMES IT GOES LIKE THAT. WHO WON I DON’T KNOW. LAKE BRANTLEY ON THE ROAD AT LYMAN. WELL WE’LL FIND OUT LATER. AND OH MY GOODNESS DID THE PATRIOTS DAREN PUT ON A SHOW TODAY ALREADY WITH A BIG LEAD LATE FIRST QUARTER CURTIS DEWBERRY CUTS IT OUTSIDE, MAKES ANOTHER MAN MISS AND THEN HE WINS THE FOOTRACE. COUNT UP ALL THE YARDS. IT’S 66 FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. SCAMPER 34. NOTHING AFTER THAT. STILL IN THE FIRST. OH CAPTAIN. MY CAPTAIN AIDEN GREER FORCES THE FUMBLE. LAKE BRANTLEY RECOVERS. THAT LEADS TO A JUSTIN STECKER TOUCHDOWN. 41 POINTS ON THE BOARD IN THE FIRST QUARTER ALONE. IT IS A HUGE WIN FROM LAKE BRANTLEY. BEFORE WE CAME TO THE STUDIO, I SAW IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN 75 TO NOTHING. YOU KNOW A LOT GOING ON TONIGHT. BACK TO BACK SCORES. WE SOMETHING HAPPENED. ALL RIGHT. LET’S CHECK OUT SOME MORE SCORES FROM OUT OF TOWN. THESE ARE FILLED IN. THAT’S GREAT. OSCEOLA GOES ON THE ROAD TOPS. TREASURE COAST 35. NOTHING BOONE BEATS UP ON MOUNT DORA OVER IN MOUNT DORA, 4614 LEESBURG GETTING THE BIG 44.

  • Band of raccoons invade Florida home, cause chaos

    [ad_1]

    A.M. IT IS A STORY YOU WILL ONLY SEE RIGHT HERE ON WESH TWO. CW 18. NOT 1 OR 2, BUT MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN RACCOONS INVADED A BREVARD COUNTY HOME EARLIER THIS MORNING. WESH TWO GAIL PASCHALL-BROWN REPORTS. THE CATS WENT BONKERS AND NO ONE KNEW WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL THE HOMEOWNERS CHECKED THEIR SECURITY CAMERAS. I THINK THE RACCOON DID THAT 2 OR 3 DAYS AGO, AND THEN THEY CAME BACK WITH ALL THEIR BUDDIES. I THINK HE WENT THROUGH, FELL IN THE POOL AND SCARED HIMSELF AND WENT OUT TO THE KITTY DOOR OR THE DOGGIE DOOR LIKE THE LITTLE BANDITS. THEY ARE. ONE BY ONE, RACCOONS ENTERED THE. HOUSEHOLD, SCARING THEIR CATS IN MERRITT ISLAND AROUND THREE SUNDAY MORNING. NO ONE KNEW WHAT HAPPENED UNTIL RICHARD AND HIS WIFE, MARGARET LOOKED AT THEIR HOME SURVEILLANCE VIDEO. WE STARTED LOOKING AT ALL THE. RACCOONS. WOW. THEY WERE HAVING A PARTY. THERE WAS SEVERAL OF THEM ON THE STEP. RIGHT THERE. WOW. THERE WAS SEVERAL OF THEM IN THE JACUZZI JUST SPLASHING AROUND THE THREE OF THEM IN THE JACUZZI, SPLASHING AROUND. THE NERVE. AND THEN LOOKING AT THE OTHER VIDEOS FROM THE OTHER CAMERA ON THE SIDE, COVERED PORCH, WE SAW THEM ALL COMING IN AND OUT OF THE HOUSE, IN AND OUT OF THEIR SCREENED PORCH. AND THEN THEY ATE ALL THE CAT FOOD AND TURNED OVER ALL THE WATER BOWLS. THEY ATE ALL THE CAT FOOD THAT WAS OUT FOR OUR KITTIES. AND THEY THEY FILLED THE BOWLS ALL OVER THE DINING ROOM. HIS WIFE COUNTED EIGHT OF THEM, AND I’M LIKE, THAT’S A LOT OF RACCOONS. HE WAS WORRIED THEY COULD HAVE HAD RABIES. I JUST THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, WILD RACCOONS. AND THEY’RE, YOU KNOW, THEY’RE DOING THEY’RE IN MY HOME AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY’VE BEEN. YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM, AND YOU HAD YOUR GRANDKIDS, AND WE HAD THE GRANDKIDS IN THE HOUSE. HE CALLED AUTHORITIES, INCLUDING 911 FLORIDA WILDLIFE COMMISSION, AND TRIED REACHING OUT TO BREVARD COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES. HE SAYS HIS NEIGHBORS HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH RACCOONS, TOO. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE KITTY DOORS? I MEAN, THAT’S HOW THEY GOT IN. THAT’S HOW THEY GOT IN. YEAH, THE CATS ARE CATS. WELL, I DO HAVE SLIDES. YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS I KNEW THAT THEY WERE ALL OUT, I PUT THE SLIDE IN THE DOOR AND I GOT BOTH OF THE CATS BACK IN THE HOUSE, AND I SPENT THE NIGHT ON THE COUCH OUT HERE WHERE WE’RE SITTING TO MAKE SURE WE HAD NO REOCCURRENCE. COVERING BREVARD COUNTY IN MERRITT ISLAND, GAIL PASCHALL-BROWN WESH TWO NEWS. AND THE FLORIDA WILDLIFE COMMISSION SAYS WHEN IT COMES TO THE NUISANCE ANIMALS LIKE RACCOONS, SECURING A PET DOOR IS RECOMMENDED. ALTHOUGH RELOCATION IS SOMETIMES NECESSARY, TRAPPING AND RELOCATING OR KILLI

    A backyard pool in Florida saw some unlikely visitors.Raccoons invaded the Klerner household in Merritt Island, Florida, early Sunday morning, scaring their cats and causing chaos, which was later discovered through home surveillance footage.Richard Klerner said, “We started looking at all the raccoons and they were having a party. There were several of them on the steps right there, several of them in the jacuzzi, just splashing around, three of them in the jacuzzi splashing around. The nerve, and then looking at the other video from the side covered porch, we saw them coming in and out of the house.”The raccoons entered and exited their screened porch, ate the cat food, and overturned all the water bowls.”They ate all the cat food that was out for our kitties and spilled the bowl all over the dining room,” Klerner said. His wife counted eight raccoons. “And I’m like, that’s a lot of raccoons.”Klerner was concerned the raccoons could have had rabies. “I just thought wild raccoons and they’re in my home and you don’t know where they’ve been, where they’re from, and you had the grandkids in the house, and we had the grandkids in the house,” he said.He called authorities, including 911, the Florida Wildlife Commission, and tried reaching out to Brevard County Animal Services. Klerner mentioned that his neighbors have also had trouble with raccoons.When asked about the kitty doors, Klerner explained, “That’s how they got in. I do have slides as soon as I knew they were out, I put slides on the door and got the cats back in and slept on the couch where we’re sitting to make sure there was no recurrence.”
