| | Magic failed to do little things in loss to Warriors | UCF men's basketball wants to keep Johnny Dawkins | Riley Kugel leaves Gators, enters transfer portal | | Playing on the second night of a back-to-back, Golden State outrebounded the Magic 52-39 while handing Orlando its second straight loss. | | | Magic forward Paolo Banchero said it was an "automatic yes" when he asked to present Montverde's Cooper Flagg with the Gatorade award. "It's something that I don't take lightly and I'm just incredibly grateful," Flagg told the Sentinel. | | | Johnny Dawkins' first season in the Big 12 is actually comparable to that of football coach Gus Malzahn. | | | After a 17-16 record, including a 7-11 mark in their first season in the Big 12 and a program-best three wins over ranked opponents, many believe the Knights may have overachieved this season. However, with one season remaining on Dawkins' contract, some wondered what his future held with the school. | | | Among baseball winners were The Master's Academy, Trinity Prep, Dr. Phillips, Windermere and Olympia. Winter Park and Hagerty had girls softball wins. | | | Colonial football coach Woody Cox was named the new athletic director at Sanford Seminole, where he was recently a teacher and coach. The list of Florida Dairy Farmers' award winners include girls basketball standout Trinity Turner of Dr. Phillips. | | | Riley Kugel ended his career with a solid showing that exhibited his considerable athletic ability and skill set. He finished with 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and a block during the Gators' season-ending 102-100 loss to Colorado to open the NCAA Tournament. | | | The third-most wins since 2008 and nine playoff appearances count for something. But how much? | | | The Lightning improved their streak to 7-0-1 and moved within two points of third-place Toronto in the Atlantic Division. | | | In an era where more than half the 133 Division I football programs qualify for a bowl game (while acknowledging this is not the purview of the NCAA), forcing 80% of the 350-plus Division I basketball schools to watch March Madness from their dorms seems outdated and unnecessarily punitive. | | | |
