WHO: Winter Haven (6A-11) at Apopka (8A-4)
WHEN: Friday, May 31
WHERE: Roger Williams Field
WHY: Winter Haven has been one of top teams in Class 6A for the last few years to watch out for and Apopka has nicely rebounded to become a possible national contender after escaping with the Class 8A state title in 2012. This spring football game between the Blue Devils and the Blue Darters will give these teams a challenge to see what is working and what needs to be corrected over the summer. Right now though it appears, Winter Haven might have more holes to fill than Apopka, but you can never say never on anything when it comes to a challenge out on the football field. This will be one of the best games to top off the end of Spring Football for sure.
