Apopka at Lakeland


gwdrum75

Recommended Posts

Lakeland finally gets a measuring stick game. If the defense can figure out the Apopka offense, they have a shot. If not, it could be a long night. Regardless, I think this is going to be a high scoring game.

I don't believe Apopka and Lakeland have ever met in a regular or post season matchup. 

Rick Darlington is a Lakeland grad (1983) and coached at Lakeland in the late 80's/early 90's under Coach Castle.

The game will be webcast:

Final, Lakeland 42-35 over Apopka. Game effectively over when Apopka was intercepted with a minute left. Exciting game marred by penalties. At the end of the day Lakeland had one more bullet than Apopka. Bad Bird made a pretty good call.

Things of note: 1. Lakeland ran the ball very well against Apopka as their OL opened up big holes in the final three quarters. 2. Apopka had its most success passing since the days of Zack Darlington. 3. The lead changed hands frequently after the first quarter; at the end of the first it looked like it would be a defensive struggle, as Apopka was inside the 36 of its own half the entire quarter but held Lakeland to 3. The final three quarters were a shootout. 

No shame in the loss. However there are things that need to be worked on.

Was going to go to this game but the 7:30 start and the longer drive with school tomorrow made me switch to winter park. Then school got canceled.  Sounds like I missed a good one.  This Lakeland team if it can get better on defense could be a serious contender.  Can they improve enough to give STA a game.  Not sure but offensively they are very very good

Lakeland defense was worn down in the 4th quarter, but came up with two big stops when they needed. They have to cut out the mistakes (turnovers & penalties).

Definitely an exciting game and I think it gives Lakeland alot of confidence heading into the middle part of the season.

Congrats Lakeland fans!   Apopka is a solid team this year IMO.   Great win.     

My question for Lakeland fans...who is #7?   He new this year?   That run in the 4th Q was VERY NICE!

#7 is Antonio Whitehead. He was a QB/receiver at Kathleen last year. Transferred in and has been converted to a receiver at Lakeland.

    • This is probably going to impact several different schools. Sumner will probably lose several key players to transfer. This means some schools are going to be getting unforeseen boosts as well. You'd assume that the schools in that immediate area might benefit. But, in this day and age, some players could end up far away. Tampa Robinson lost their head coach to USC, and their top recruit transferred...to Chaminade in Broward County.
    • As reported by Josh on this site, Sumner's head football coach, Alonzo Ashwood, was dismissed.  No reason for the dismissal was given, but it certainly wouldn't have been based on the team's on-the-field performance.   I've got a hunch the coach crossed one of those pesky rule lines, perhaps one too many times, and left the principal with little choice.   Again, just speculation on my part.   It'll be interesting to see what repercussions this has for the Stingrays.   Here's a link to Josh's article: http://floridahsfootball.com/2024/05/20/alonzo-ashwood-dismissed-at-sumner-after-four-seasons-per-report/
    • Vero’s offense struggled the entire game, the lone score came on a scoop and score via a fumble. White showed the characteristics of a presumed first year starter. His ability is there no doubt, he’ll just need to settle into the starting role.    West Boca was much more effective- leaning on their 4* running back Javian Mallory, can see them having another good year. They would have probably won the game had it gone a little longer.   
    • If all the talk from the head coach about Dillard being bigger and better this year and how last year in his first year was a trial and error for him, it better be an easy dub. Lol
    • As For my Dillard panthers , this will be a huge test for us before things crank up for real in the next few months.    right now Dillard will be coming in this game with a lot of questions. Whose gonna be the Starting QB after a lot of controversy in last year playoff lost to ely where the fans and some of the players felt the sophomore back up should have replaced the junior starter after constantly turning the ball over.    the panthers also will be debuting a new OC & a new DC for the 2024 season. Last year while the defense was average to above average. Our offense appeared to be very basic & vanilla with No real offensive schemes to get the playmakers open.    we’ve gotten a few transfers in & promoted a few great players from JV to varsity. & with this being year 2 of Dillards new head coach & being placed in a new district I’m interested to see the adjustments & progressions in this season vs last season.    this has the make to be a very good game if the weather permits for all 4 quarters, but until proven otherwise I’m going to take the knights in this game in a final score of    DILLARD 21 MONARCH 28 what do you guys think of this matchup @nolebull813 @FBGUY1989 @cribboy305
