Sentinel Sports Final Tuesday, January 14, 2025 | | |
| | | | | Despite key injuries, Orlando is 23-18 through 41 games, recording one more win than last year’s team at this point in the season. | | | | | In winning by an average of 21.4 points, UF ranks first nationally in rebound margin (12.7 per game), is seventh in field-goal percentage defense (36.94%) and ninth is scoring offense (86.2 ppg). | | | | | The Knights will wrap up a 5-day, 2-game road trip in Arizona with a Tuesday night matchup with Arizona State in Tempe. | | | | | Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal forcefully defended Cam Ward, who had garnered criticism for playing one half of Miami's Pop-Tarts Bowl loss to Iowa State. | | | | | In boys hoops, Alex Nichols had 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists for Foundation Academy, while Gateway, Harmony, Osceola and St. Cloud got OBC tourney wins. Heaven Sims had 13 points for Lyman girls basketball. Shaler Green scored 2 goals for Winter Springs in boys soccer. | | | | | Dereon Coleman (Jones), Will Marzolf (Edgewater) and David Parks (Sanford Seminole) possess similar football DNA, making them stand out at the highest of levels. | | | | | The team includes stars from Bishop Moore, Edgewater, First Academy, Jones, Lake Howell, Lake Nona, Lake Mary, Master's Academy, Ocoee, Olympia, Orlando Christian Prep, Osceola, Poinciana, Sanford Seminole, Tavares, West Orange and Windermere. | | | | | The second and third team selections were made by Sentinel staffers Chris Hays and Buddy Collings with input from Central Florida coaches. Honorable mention selections were based on coaches' nominations. | | | | | Coach Billy Napier continues his impressive run in the portal after winning the Gasparilla Bowl to cap his best season in Gainesville. | | | | | Tampa Bay forced no turnovers and no punts in the wrenching home playoff loss to Washington | | | | | The Los Angeles Rams overwhelmed the Minnesota Vikings, sacking Sam Darnold an NFL playoff record-tying nine times to win 27-9 Monday night. | | | | | The Miami Dolphins' run game was unreliable in third-down, short-yardage and red-zone situations for the third season in a row. | | | | | The value of the home-field advantage holds up again in another opening NFL playoff weekend. So does the value of a great running back. | | | |
