First ‘miracle,’ then playoff spot?
erty (3-5, 1-2), it would force a three-way tiebreaker to decide both playoff berths. Winter Park would host Oviedo and University in the Monday night shootout at Showalter Field.
Wekiva (5-3, 3-2) stopped three overtime plays from the 1-yard line to top Ocoee 28-21 and stay alive in 7A-4. If the Mustangs beat Winter Springs (5-3, 4-1), they would make their first playoff appearance as runner-up behind Oak Ridge (6-3, 5-1).
If Winter Springs wins, it would claim its first district title and Oak Ridge is runner-up.
Tavares (5-3, 2-1) rallied from down10 to beat Eustis and set up a home-field showdown with rival Mount Dora (5-4, 2-1) for second place in 5A-11.
Anything could happen in 6A-10, where every district game has been decided by eight points or less. Even Edgewater (0-8, 0-2) can squeeze into a tiebreaker for second if it wins at Groveland South Lake (6-2, 1-1) and Lake Minneola (3-5, 2-0) takes the title with a victory against Leesburg (6-2, 1-1).
Extra points
Apopka (8-1) is averaging 53.8 points per game and needs 45 on Friday at Olympia (3-5) to break the state record for points in a regular season. The Blue Darters have scored 43 or more in all eight of their wins since losing 51-36 at Duncan, S.C., Byrnes (8-1) in an August opener. . . .
FSU commit Ryan Sousa of Lake Nona (6-2) has 45 career TD catches and is poised to be the fifth receiver in state history to total 50 or more. Jamal Reid of Mayo Lafayette set the record with 57 in four seasons (2006-09). . . .
Oak Ridge and Evans, talented teams moving back up to separate 8A boys basketball districts, met in fall league championship play. Oak Ridge won 64-50 after losing earlier to the Trojans.
