High school sports scores and top performers from Friday, Oct. 6 • Gators seek to avenge 2022 shocker at Vanderbilt, rebound from Kentucky loss
 Sentinel Sports Final Saturday, October 7, 2023 | | |
| | | | High school football Week 7 report: Apopka wins on ricochet; Seminole falls at Cocoa | UCF visits Kansas while UF and FSU aim for home wins | Pride edged at Racing Louisville | | | | Friday night high school football has Orlando area No. 1 Edgewater eyeing its 25th straight regular season win, No. 2 Seminole playing at state champ Cocoa and No. 3 Lake Mary hosting North Miami Beach. Other big games are Apopka-Olympia, Ocoee-Winter Park, OCP-Tohopekaliga, Oak Ridge-Evans. | | | | | Local volleyball teams Bishop Moore, Lake Howell and Lake Brantley won their first two matches in pool play of the Swing for a Cure Invitational hosted by Bishop Moore, while Winter Springs won the team title in the FLRunners.com cross country invite varsity girls race. | | | | | The Gators have lost once at home to Vanderbilt since 1945 — a 31-17 defeat during a 4-8 season in 2013. The Commodores' 2021 trip to Gainesville ended in a 42-0 loss, the last shutout recorded by Florida's defense. | | | | | Late collapses have cost the Knights in their first two Big 12 games as they've been outscored 39-7 in the fourth quarter. "The fourth quarter is when we've got to take it to another level and finish these games. That's the bottom line," said offensive coordinator Darin Hinshaw. | | | | | While the Seminoles are thrilled with a 4-0 start that includes wins over LSU and Clemson, there are nit-picking questions as No. 5 FSU comes off a bye week to begin a three-game homestand with Virginia Tech on Saturday. | | | | | Although Georgia Tech lost to three-touchdown underdog Bowling Green last week, the Hurricanes know the Yellow Jackets' offense is potent enough to return the favor this week against Miami. | | | | | Marta scored on a penalty kick in the 17th minute for the Pride before Kerry Abello delivered her first NWSL goal in the 21st minute, but Orlando couldn't hold the lead. | | | | | The sides faced off in New England in June, with the Revolution earning a 3-1 win against an Orlando side missing several key players on international duty. Circumstances have changed, however, with the Lions near full strength. | | | | | Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said Wendell Carter Jr. has a heightened level of focus about himself in training camp. "Going into my sixth year, he understands I do a lot of the little things for this team," Carter said of his coach. "He understands that I just want to win." | | | | | The trade to acquire wide receiver Chase Claypool from the Bears also includes a late-round pick swap of 2025 draft selections. Terron Armstead was put on the IR to make space on the roster. | | | |
