| | | | Magic fall in closing seconds to Memphis | Orlando City aims to open MLS campaign with purpose against Philadelphia | Ocoee, Dr. Phillips, CFCA earn FHSAA girls basketball state tourney berths | Lake Nona boys and Lake Mary girls win 7A state soccer titles | | | | The Magic were unable to stave off the Grizzlies in the closing moments Friday night at Kia Center. | | | | | Ocoee's Dakara Merthie scored 25 points and Gabby Fortius added 20 to lead the Knights to a 49-40 girls basketball win vs. Timber Creek in the 7A Region 2 final. Ocoee advances to the FHSAA final four for the first time. They will be joined by three-time defending state champ, Dr. Phillips. | | | | | Lake Nona won a boys soccer state title, while Lake Mary won a girls soccer state title. Ocoee, CFCA and Dr. Phillips had girls basketball region final wins | | | | | Murillo Mello stopped two of three penalty kicks and after Mason Sanders put Lake Nona's fourth penalty kick past keeper Mason Chubb, it set off a celebration as the Lions captured their first state title 4-1 on PKs at Lake Myrtle Sports Park. | | | | | Kailey Susi placed a perfect crossing pass on a corner kick to the far side of the goal and Lindsay Sheets was there with the header to knock it into the net to spur Lake Mary in Friday's 7A girls title game in Auburndale. | | | | | On a chilly night — 50 degrees but wind made it feel like 43 — at the Lake Myrtle Sports Park, American Heritage stunned three-time defending champion Bishop Moore with a 3-0 shutout. It was the 10th state title for Heritage. | | | | | Matchups between the sides have been hard-fought over the years. Orlando City has won three of the last four, including both games in 2024. | | | | | The Lions struggled in the opening months of 2023 and '24, taking until late in the summer to hit their stride. They scheduled challenging preseason matches against Atletico Mineiro and Inter Miami, hoping that more competitive opponents would sharpen preparations. | | | | | Born in Germany, Marco Pašalić spent time with Borussia Dortmund before spending the last two years playing for Croatian side HNK Rijeka. | | | | | The Knights are mired in a seven-game losing streak and any hope of salvaging the remainder of the season begins against the Utes. | | | |
