| | | | Let's thank Chuck Rohe for breathing life into Orlando sports| Surging Orlando City prevails at Nashville | UCF, UF and FSU have opportunities for bolstering victories | | | | Chuck Rohe, as the Executive Director of Florida Citrus Sports from 1982-2002, pushed for one of the early expansions and renovations of the Florida Citrus Bowl (now Camping World Stadium) that paved the way for Orlando to become a player in national and international events such as high-level bowl games, major neutral site college football games and the World Cup in 1994. | | | | | Orlando (16-7-9, 57 points) has collected 28 points on the road this season, fueled by an MLS-leading eight victories. | | | | | Kansas is the latest with the Jayhawks uncertain whether starter Jalon Daniels will be back or whether redshirt senior Jason Bean will get his third start. | | | | | Starting center Kingsley Eguakun is questionable with a right ankle injury after he appeared in just his second game for Florida. The Gators' offensive line struggles can be traced partly to Eguakun's Aug. 16 injury. | | | | | The Seminoles are ranked 10th in the FBS in scoring offense, averaging 43 points per game leaning heavily on passing. The defense has struggled against the pass but brought pressure at the right times and been opportunistic with takeaways. | | | | | Magic veterans such as Jonathan Isaac, newcomer Joe Ingles and guard Garry Harris have offered advice to Anthony Black and Jett Howard. "Between Joe, JI, and Gary, they've been in those situations and scenarios. They can speak to certain ways in which you want to guard something," Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said. | | | | | It shouldn't come as a surprise that the Magic exercised their team options on Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs. The Magic had an Oct. 31 deadline to exercise the team options for all three. | | | | | After 99 wins and team records for runs and homers, the offense was shut down in back-to-back games at home. | | | | | Among girls volleyball winners on Wednesday were Timber Creek, Horizon, Lake Highland Prep, Umatilla and Winter Springs, while Montverde Academy and Orangewood Christian had boys golf wins. The First Academy also notched a girls golf win. | | | | | Lake Mary Prep's Barry Zhang, Florida's top-ranked high school golfer, shot 67, 64 for tournament title. In other Varsity news Circle Christian continues big bowling scores; Winter Park stretches volleyball win streak; and Lake Highland Prep seventh-grader Annabella Tomasic runs to another big win. | | | |
