High school sports scores and top performers from Thursday, Sept. 14 • Florida's D views visit from Tennessee as 'statement game'
 Sentinel Sports Final Friday, September 15, 2023 | | |
| | | | | So what's a "statement game?" No seriously. It's a sports cliche that I've never understood. What if you lose but win the next nine games instead? Or what if you win this "statement game" and never win another game this season? What's the statement? No one has ever been able to answer this riddle. Shoot me an email, would ya? I'll shout you out next time. ... The G League Showcase coming to Orlando for the next four years is a big deal. It's not Las Vegas Summer League, but I remember going in 2011 to South Padre Island, Texas. The most miserable trip of my life. Flew to Houston. Then to Brownsville on a death trap of a small-engine plane. Then drove two hours. Fans aren 't allowed so it didn't matter. This move suggests a move in the opposite direction. ... The U routed Bethune-Cookman. Not sure that means anything but they are 3-0. ... The Rays are in position to make this an entertaining finish to the regular season with Baltimore. | | | | The event, which isn't open to fans now, hopes to evolve the way summer league has in Las Vegas after announcing a four-year deal with Orlando Convention Center and Hyatt Regency. | | | | | Orlando area volleyball winners included Winter Park, Horizon, Bishop Moore and Orlando Christian Prep, while Circle Christian girls and boys golf teams shot low, a Trinity Prep boy shot 4-under-par at North Shore Golf Club and Windermere Prep girls edged TFA in a low-scoring match. Oviedo won girls and boys team titles in the LBV cross country invite. | | | | | The Gators' hopes against the No. 11 Vols likely hinge on an improved unit containing coach Josh Heupel's high-octane attack. The defense no longer appears to be the pushover. | | | | | The score was 3-3 going to the seventh when Raley delivered the go-ahead run in a big way, a 409-foot, 109.9 mph homer to center. His first round-tripper since Aug. 24 quieted a Camden Yards crowd of 24,835. | | | | | The game went as expected with Miami dominating from start to finish Thursday night. How much can be learned by this result? | | | | | Kyle Bono (baseball), Marc Daniels (broadcaster), DeLaina Sarden (volleyball), Shelby Turnier (softball) and the 2007 national champion UCF cheer team are joining McDowell and Hitt in the class. | | | | | The Gators open conference play with a chance to supercharge their season, fast track Billy Napier's rebuild and get off the schneid in rivalry games. | | | | | Week 4 means the race for playoff berths is on with the first district games of the 2023 season. Thursday is 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. | | | | | Annabella Tomasic is lapping high school competition and shattering school records as a 13-year-old. She broke the Highlanders' 5,000-meter cross country record in her first varsity race and then ran the fastest high school time of 2023 her second time out. | | | | | The Dolphins defensive coordinator has been around fast and slow starts. The bottom line is his defenses always become some of the league's best. | | | | | Five-star Miami Central defensive lineman Armondo Blount committed to Miami on Thursday night. | | | | | Miami Dolphins quarterbacks coach Darrell Bevell, who has recently returned from eye surgery for a detached retina, has to be given credit for his work with Tua Tagovailoa. | | | |
