| | | | UF football tries to regroup | Bucs beaten in Detroit | Magic opener on Wednesday | | | | Former Gators coach Billy Napier continued to call plays even though athletic director Scott Stricklin suggested he might be wise giving it up. | | | | | The Gators turned to Gonzales because he has heart and speaks with a fiery passion, backed by the resources of a school that no longer has excuses to fail. | | | | | Gators coach Billy Napier's on-field struggles and fan discontent did not soften the gut punch Florida players felt after he was let go. | | | | | All eyes are on who will replace Napier at season's end, and there is no shortage of candidates. | | | | | Florida State athletic director Michael Alford said Monday he is "fully committed" to helping coach Mike Norvell and his team "strongly rebound in the coming weeks." | | | | | Lions 3rd-year running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored 2 TDs and finished with a season-high 136 yards rushing on 17 carries plus a season-high 82 yards receiving on three catches in a 24-9 victory over the Buccaneers. | | | | | The Orlando Sentinel caught up with the Magic ahead of opening night against the Miami Heat to hear take on some classic rivalries on and off the court. | | | | | The Magic are far from the only NBA team to have 14 standard roster players. In fact, more than half the league enters the 2025-26 season with an open spot. "We're going to go in with 14, and at some point in the season, we'll be able to look at adding if that's what we feel we need, and if that guy's available," Jeff Weltman said recently. | | | | | The Read, Pick & Roll event, which started in 2019, has helped participating schools see a 30% increase in reading scores for 4th graders, according to Orange County Public Schools. | | | | | Edgewater was voted into the No. 1 spot in the Sentinel's Super 16 Coaches Poll for the seventh straight week. Evans climbs and St. Cloud joins the rankings for the first time this year. | | | | | There are several seniors in the Orlando area that have been overlooked by college football recruiters. | | | | | Golf conference meets were won by St. Cloud girls and Lake Mary boys while Circle Christian girls lead the Cognizant H.S. Invitational. | | | | | Sytia Messer, who is about to start her fourth season as coach of the Knights, believes this year's team could be the fastest she's ever coached. | | | | | Thanks to victory at Talladega, Briscoe will join teammate Denny Hamlin in the championship field, with the final two slots to be filled this Sunday at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia. | | | |
