TAVARES, Fla. – Thirty-three students and five adults are quarantining for 14 days after two students on the Tavares High School football team tested positive for COVID-19.

According to Lake County Public School officials, the school’s football team was practicing last week and exercising on the field while maintaining social distancing when a lightning storm came up quickly. The students and adults at the practice took shelter in a field house where they were unable to maintain social distancing, a spokesperson for LCPS said.

“A couple of days later, we learned that two students tested positive for the virus. Out of an abundance of caution, we asked all of the students (33 total) and the five adults who were with them to quarantine for 14 days,” a district spokesperson said in an email.

District officials said they have not received any reports of anyone else from the group being symptomatic or testing positive for COVID-19.

On Wednesday, the Florida Department of Health reported Lake County had seen a total of 2,882 confirmed cases of COVID-19 since the disease was first detected in the state on March 1, as well as 154 total hospitalizations and 28 coronavirus-related deaths in the area.

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      In today's recruiting era or I mean school choice era, a program in a talent rich area may implode for one year and then get a new coach and completely reload the next year and win a title. MNW imploded for two years in the 2022 (6-5) and 2023 (4-6) seasons with a combined record of 10-11. Along came Teddy and numerous transfers and boom 12-2 with a state title. Back in the day this would be a program disaster, not no more though.

      Nice article on Earl Garcia who is trying to win his 300th

      I have 3 good friends that are retired from Hillsborough High. Ken Weiss, former track head coach and Charlie & Georgene Diaz.  Charlie, aka as Carlos, was the college compliance counselor and PA guy for the football games.  All three have always spoken highly of Earl and consider him a good friend.  I have a few Terrier football shirts that they have given me over the years.

      Short term it's too late and players on this team are too invested to leave now. If it's just Teddy getting suspended, it'll probably be similar to what TFA will deal with. If anything, the team might play with more of a chip on their shoulders. LonI don't think many felt Teddy would be there a long time, anyway. How they fare long term depends on how things go at places like Central, Mater Academy and the other Dade schools. If one of those pops off and has an awesome year, they may get more of the talent in the future, so MNW may go back down to what they were before last season.

      57 teams per class is a travesty. What an embarrassment.

      2025 SSAA Teams & Schedule Questions

      By Dr. D · Posted

      With all the off-season discussion, don't forget the FHSAA regular season kicks off in 5 weeks.  Last year, 460 teams competed in the 8 FHSAA championship classifications.  This year, 458 teams are competing in the FHSAA.  Not exactly the mass exodus that some were hoping for or predicting, but maybe it is coming down the road.  Or not.  In case you forgot your team's district or region foes, here are the 2025-26 FHSAA classifications:  https://fhsaa.com/sports/2020/1/28/FB_classifications.aspx Information on the SSAA football season can be found here:  https://www.sunshinestateathletics.com/page/show/5114520-football
