Good luck to anyone that has to block #88 for Apopka. 

He is a beast!

Correct. Wekiva and Winter Park are nothing teams. This year. Both aren’t very good. 

Exactly how many times did you attend Edgewater games this season? They beat Jones, Wekiva, Winter Park, and Bishop Moore this season. Edgewater, Seminole (Sanford), and Jones are very good Central Florida teams that should be playing in semi-finals in a few weeks. Final four in your division is not a fluke; it takes a good team to get that far.

Looks like Lincoln surprised some folks...nearly pulled off the win over Edgewater.  A blocked field goal in OT was the difference.

No, the difference was an interception by the Edgewater defense in double overtime after they scored but had their extra point blocked. In the first overtime, Edgewater blocked Lincoln's field goal, got the ball, and for the life of me I don't know why they did not elect to kick the field goal, instead they ran the ball, and fumbled it away, thus leading to the second overtime. 

Edgewater was the better team athletically, but Lincoln came in with a good game plan which they executed well, and almost stole the game.

What I meant, Darter, was that if Edgewater had not blocked that field goal in the first OT, and the kicker had made it, Lincoln would have won the game.

We don't know that. If the Lincoln kicker had made it, it does not follow that Edgewater would have fumbled the ball away on their following possession. They may have ran something else. With the ball in their hands and the game all but won, I think they may have approached their possession with overconfidence thereby leading to the fumble. 

Regardless, the central point you make about Lincoln giving Edgewater a game and almost stealing it, is valid. It was much closer than I thought it was going to be, and Lincoln most certainly could have won it.
