Kentavious Caldwell-Pope enjoys new role with young Magic • Week 7 football report: TFA falls; Oviedo, Bishop Moore overcome early deficits
Sentinel Sports Final Saturday, October 5, 2024 | | |
| | | | | Imminent disaster is coming to Gainesville. Either Billy Napier's tenure effectively ends with a loss, especially an embarrassing one, to UCF at The Swamp or Gus Malzahn's team repeats its performance from a week ago vs. Colorado to debunk aspiriations that the Knights are ready for big-time college football. If they can't walk over an SEC bottom feeder that the Gators have become, all the Big 12 championship talk shoud be banned. ... Kenny Caldwell-Pope (not KCP) is going to take the Magic to another level defensively. He's in Year 11, which could signal he's on the down slope, but he's still a really good defender who can stroke the 3 and has the low-key personality that appears to be a perfect fit for the culture at Kia Center. The Magic are missing a lot of the latter. See the 3-point shooting in Game 7 vs. the Cavs last season for clarity. ... FSU vs. Clemson might be uglier thant UCF-UF because of a backup QB getting the nod. This fall from grace in Tallahassee has been epic, but stealing a win against smug Dabo Swinney could make up for a lot. ... Orlando City seems entrenched in the No. 4 seed if they can win at Cincinnati. Good recovery considering how bad this season began for the Lions. They were a No. 2 seed last season. | | | | Each team features a 23-year-old quarterback, UF’s Graham Mertz and UCF’s KJ Jefferson, coaches who like to establish the run, Billy Napier and Gus Malzahn, and two defenses with issues. | | | | | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is more than just a teacher for the Magic. He's still an elite defender who can knock down long-range baskets, and he's shown it in his first week of practice. | | | | | Week 7 Orlando area football has games Monday through Saturday; including Winter Park-Edgewater, West Orange-Evans on Tuesday. The First Academy (6-0) home vs. top 20 Georgia team on Friday. Four more top 10 hosts on Friday: Sanford Seminole, Lake Mary, Bishop Moore and Orange City University. | | | | | Through mostly injury to DJ Uiagalelei, FSU will turn to redshirt freshman Brock Glenn at quarterback to guide an offense that has scored in the teens in four straight games. | | | | | The Qdoba Burrito Challenge girls golf tourney was won by Lake Mary Prep, while Angelina Pacheco of Circle Christian earned medalist. In volleyball, Orangewood Christian, Lake Brantley, Bishop Moore, Windermere Prep and Winter Springs started 2-0 at the Swing for the Cure tourney. | | | | | The Lions are riding high, with four wins in the last five games and 13 goals scored in the process, but the No. 4 seed is only two points ahead of No. 5 New York City. | | | | | The league won't intervene in the decision on when Tua Tagovailoa will return to the field after his Sept. 12 concussion against Buffalo, | | | | | The loss left Tampa Bay (3-2) tied with Atlanta (3-2) for first place in the NFC South, putting a roadblock on the Bucs' plans for a fourth consecutive division title. | | | | | The Hurricanes travel to California for the first time in over 15 years to face new ACC opponent California. | | | | | Hall of Fame Winter Park girls volleyball coach Stephanie Gibson challenges her team with FHSAA state playoffs looming. Wildcats play state No. 1 Tampa Plant in Saturday tripleheader at Hagerty. Ce… | | | | | The Dolphins need contributions from veteran Emmanuel Ogbah, former practice squad player Quinton Bell and its two rookies to help replace the loss of Jaelan Phillips. | | | |
