Updates on Week 8 Orlando area football schedule as Hurricane Milton develops • Magic open preseason with loss at Pelicans
Sentinel Sports Final Tuesday, October 8, 2024 | | |
| | | | | The one player the Magic can't lose is Wendell Carter. Forget stats. They don't have another big who can defend the paint, contain the pick-and-roll ballhandler on a drop and shoot 37% from 3. Moe Wagner can't do it any of the three. Goga Bitadze can rim protect but is prone to fouling a lot. Carter rolled his angle in the preseason opener Monday, but he also signed a new contract extension which should make him feel better. ... Florida can 't get into an escalation with Tennessee. Ball control offense is the answer. And getting the ball in the end zone. ... FSU's loss to Clemson wasn 't a total loss. They're playing for the future and discovered some players who they can develop so they can regroup in 2025. This season is over for them. ... Hurricane Milton is impacting everything from high school football games this week, UCF's practice schedule leading up to a Big 12 game vs. Cincinnati and the Florida Panther's ring ceremony. ... | | | | During the summer, the Magic signed forward Franz Wagner a maximum rookie extension while re-signing his brother. Moe Wagner, center Goga Bitadze and veteran guard Gary Harris. The team also renegotiated and extended forward Jonathan Isaac. | | | | | The threat of Hurricane Milton forces big changes in the Orlando area Week 8 football schedule, which includes a number of mandatory district games. Lake Wales at Jones and Lake Mary at Sanford Seminole are among those now scheduled for Monday night. We'll update this list as other changes are made. | | | | | Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 15 points in 22 minutes when the Pelicans edged out Orlando 106-104 at Smoothie King Center. | | | | | The Gators cannot afford to let off the gas. During Florida's convincing 24-13 win against UCF, Billy Napier's offense built a 24-3 halftime lead only to fall flat in the final 30 minutes. | | | | | Shelby Davis bowled a 643 series for Circle Christian boys; Emma Sanabria had 3-under-par for Bishop Moore in a shortened girls golf match. Alexandra Snyder was 2-under-par for Lake Nona girls golf, while Andie Bowron had 31 assists for Lake Brantley in girls volleyball. | | | | | It's not shocking that the 'Noles lost to Dabo Swinney's nationally ranked Tigers, but there's hope despite the offensive line remaining a disappointment. | | | | | Tua, who has been on injured reserve due to a concussion he sustained against the Bills in Week 2, seems to be on track to practice the first day he's eligible to return. | | | | | The Tigers remained No. 1 for the seventh straight week, followed by Seminole, Dr. Phillips, Edgewater, TFA and Lake Mary. | | | | | Billy Napier has his team on a roll, but Miss State and UCF aren't on the same level as this week's opponent Tennessee. | | | | | With the Category 5 storm bearing down on Florida, UCF officials may need to make adjustments before Saturday's showdown with the Bearcats. | | | | | Miami pulled off a second-consecutive exciting victory last weekend to move to 6-0 on the season and climb to No. 6 in the Associated Press Top 25. | | | | | The team canceled plans to receive their Stanley Cup championship rings at a public event Monday night. | | | |
