Week 4 football report: Pine Ridge, Bishop Moore, OCP made comebacks count • UCF wraps up nonconference schedule vs. Villanova
 Sentinel Sports Final Saturday, September 16, 2023 | | |
| | | | | At some point, hopefully, UCF and UF will play games at a decent hour and not concurrently. Would a day game hurt? ... Orlando City is finally playing championship soccer in MLS. Three points tonight will elevate the Lions to second place in the East. ... The Rays are back atop the AL East. It's a virtual tie with Baltimore, but a strong start + strong finish = a good result more often than not. ... Has Nick Saban lost his edge at Alabama? Someone below appears to think so. Of course, USF will be some good chicken soup for the soul for the Tide. | | | | Florida has lost its past two SEC openers, both at home — to Alabama and Kentucky. Tennessee's last visit to the Swamp was a 38-14 loss in coach Josh Heupel's first season in Knoxville after leaving UCF. | | | | | Week 4 means the race for playoff berths is on with the first district games of the 2023 season. Thursday was a big night with schools out in Orange and Seminole Counties on Friday. The district doozies include Jones at Edgewater, Sanford Seminole at Evans, Ocoee at Olympia, Lake Brantley at Lake Mary. | | | | | The Knights are coming off a thrilling win at Boise State last Saturday, as kicker Colton Boomer connected on four field goals, including a walk-off 40-yarder to lift the team to an undefeated start to the 2023 season. | | | | | Some of FSU's student assistants were dunking footballs in five-gallon buckets in Wednesday's practice. The Seminoles practiced in sunny, humid conditions but also were trying to throw, run with and catch a wet pigskin ahead of the game. | | | | | The Lions have turned Exploria Stadium into a fortress in recent months with a 6-3-4 record there. Their last home loss came in April. "We've been in a good mode lately and we're just trying to keep that good mood and momentum going," defender Robin Jansson said. | | | | | A dominant start by Zach Eflin and three-run home run by Harold Ramirez lead the way as Tampa Bay gains a share of the division lead for the first time since July 21. | | | | | The big Lake Howell Invitational volleyball tournament started Friday night with Orangewood Christian, Lake Howell, Lake Mary, Harmony, TFA, Bishop Moore and Toho winning a pair of pool play matches. Play will continue Saturday in the Elite and Premier Divisions until champions are crowned. | | | | | Magic fans won't have to wait long to see the uniform and court in action. Orlando will debut both Oct. 25 on opening night against Houston. Read more to find out the full 'Classic Night' schedule. | | | | | If Nick Saban doesn't win the national title this year, the three-year drought will be the longest of his Alabama tenure. Saban has raised the bar so high that it takes only a little bit of losing to fall below it. | | | | | MIAMI — The Miami Marlins scored five runs in the seventh inning to rally for a 9-6, come-from-behind victory over the Atlanta Braves on Friday at loanDepot park. The win is just the Marlins' second against the National League East-winning Braves in 11 tries this season. It is Miami's 38th comeback win of the season. | | | |
