Week 5 live report: No. 1 Edgewater clobbers No. 2 Apopka; Winter Park overcomes penalties

Friday’s No. 1 Edgewater at No. 2 Apopka game highlighted a solid Week 5 high school football schedule.

Nine area teams put their undefeated records on the line. One of the unbeatens — Orange City University (5-0) — rallied to win Thursday night. Friday winners that stayed perfect were Edgewater, Winter Park, Lake Mary, Clermont East Ridge and Orlando Christian Prep.

Before play began Thursday with three games in the Orlando area, the Florida High School Athletic Association made big news by announcing via social media that all nine of this year’s football state championship games will be played over three days at Bragg Stadium on the campus of Florida A&M University on Dec. 7-9.

That marks a return to Tallahassee, which hosted all of the 2020 finals at FSU before the FHSAA shifted larger-classification games to Fort Lauderdale’s DRV PNK Stadium for the past two years.

In 2021, the top five class finals (4A-8A) were in Fort Lauderdale and the bottom three (1A-3A) were at Gene Cox Stadium, a city venue, in Tallahassee.

In 2022, the FHSAA expanded to nine classifications in a new Metro and Suburban system and played five finals in Fort Lauderdale (2M, 3M, 3S, 4M and 4S) and four at Gene Cox Stadium (1R, 1S, 1M and 2M) a week earlier.

Super 16 Friday matchups

No. 1 Edgewater d. No. 2 Apopka, 27-0

It wasn’t even close.

No. 1 Edgewater (5-0) went on the road and made easy work of No. 2 Apopka (3-1) in a lopsided matchup of top-ranked teams in the Sentinel Super 16.

Sophomore quarterback Michael Clayton threw four touchdown passes in the first half to give the Eagles all they would need. Clayton evaded the Blue Darters’ pass rush to extend plays multiple times.

“We really practiced keeping two hands on the ball and not turning the ball over this week, and I felt comfortable out there,” Clayton said. “Going against my defense in practice really prepared me for this.”

Zion Mitchell was on the receiving end of TD passes that went for 16 and 17 yards. Versatile junior Semaj Fleming scored on a 20-yard reception while Brandon Paul hauled in a pass along the sideline, then put a move on a defender before finishing off a 33-yard score.

The Blue Darters missed on a 43-yard field goal attempt, turned the ball over on downs, and lost a fumble that led to a touchdown in the first half.

Apopka sophomore QB Tyson Davison, who suffered an ankle injury early in the season, missed his second straight game. He is expected to play Friday in a district contest at Seminole.

Edgewater is home vs. Wekiva, which also won Friday.

Here are the in-game updates:

No points in the second half.

Halftime: No. 1 Edgewater owned a commanding 27-0 lead at No. 2 Apopka. Sophomore quarterback Michael Clayton has tossed 4 TD passes thus far.

TOUCHDOWN: Michael Clayton threw his fourth TD pass of the first half on a 20-yard toss to Semaj Fleming with 38 seconds left. Eagles are now running away with this one while leading 27-0. Apopka has struggled with bad snaps on offense and now has a steep hill to climb.

TOUCHDOWN: Edgewater making a statement so far tonight. Eagles capitalized on the turnover as Michael Clayton threw to Zion Mitchell in the left corner of the end zone with 2:47 left in the 2nd quarter. PAT failed. Edgewater leads Apopka 20-0.

Apopka fumbled the ball away two plays after the kickoff. Edgewater takes over at Blue Darters 21-yard line.

TOUCHDOWN: Edgewater is making things happen in the passing game. Michael Clayton evaded the rush and threw to Brandon Paul, who put a move on a defender to finish off a 33-yard TD. The score was set up off a 13-yard run by Kaden Shields-Dutton and 14-yard run out of the Wildcat formation by Semaj Fleming. Eagles lead Apopka 14-0 with 6:09 left in first half.

Nathan Jenkins III took the snap and rushed 17 yards to the 50-yard line but Blue Darters turned the ball over on downs at the Edgewater 41 with 7:32 to go in 2nd quarter.

End 1st quarter: Edgewater leads 7-0. Lorenzo Payne IV has a tackle-for-loss and pass break up for Apopka.

Nathan Jenkins III broke loose for a 19-yard gain out of the single-wing to put Apopka in Edgewater territory. The Blue Darters made it to the 26-yard line before settling for a 43-yard field goal attempt that sailed wide left.

TOUCHDOWN: After Michael Clayton and Semaj Fleming hooked up for a 26-yard gain, Clayton found Zion Mitchell on a 17-yard slant in the end zone two plays later to put Eagles in front 7-0 at 5:46 to go in 1st quarter.

Sloppy start on offense resulted in a punt for Apopka. Edgewater takes over at own 48.

Apopka is without starting quarterback Tyson Davison for the second straight game. It’ll likely be a run-heavy approach for Blue Darters tonight.

Edgewater sophomore QB Michael Clayton connected with Semaj Fleming on a 46-yard pass on the second play of the game. Eagles turned ball over on downs four plays later at the APK 20-yard line.

Two physical powerhouses collide in the clear-cut game of the week. MaxPreps ranks Edgewater No. 2 in 3M (Metro). Apopka is No. 4 in 4M.

Edgewater won the past two meetings since this rivalry resumed but they are 8-8 in their past 16 collisions – dating to 2004. The Eagles won 28-19 at home last year and 16-7 on the road in 2021.

Week 5 Football: Edgewater, Apopka among 9 undefeated Orlando area teams

No. 6 Jones d. No. 13 West Orange, 44-14

Jones High punched West Orange in the mouth early and rolled to a 44-14 win on the road.

The Tigers (2-3), ranked No. 4 in 3M, played Top 10 teams in their first four games and turned things around with this impressive victory.

Host West Orange (1-4), ranked No. 13 in 4M, has also played a tough schedule.

Jones jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter. Senior running back Jerrian Parker ran for a 50-yard touchdown and senior defensive back Tariq Hollinger ran an interception back for a TD. Junior receiver Vernell Brown III returned a punt 80 yards for Jones’ third touchdown of the opening quarter.

“We’ve done it all year,” Jones coach Elijah Williams said of his team’s quick start. “Every team we’ve played, we’ve gotten out on them. We just haven’t be able to sustain drives. It was good to jump out and keep the lead.”

Jones senior quarterback Trever Jackson threw 2 touchdowns against his former school. The Ole Miss commit connected with Brown for a 40-yard touchdown and junior athlete Christian Robbins for a 29-yard score.

Sophomore quarterback Dereon Coleman also saw action and ran for a 1-yard score with 22 seconds left in the 1st half to extend the Tigers’ lead to 37-0, which instituted a running clock to begin the third quarter.

Jackson played in the first and third quarters. Coleman played in the second and forth.

“They both played well,” Williams said. “They stood in, made the checks, put the offense in the right formations, lined them up, made the right calls and made the right reads. We didn’t have any turnovers, and last week we had seven. That’s a huge plus for our team.”

Terrance Sands also had an interception for Jones and senior linebacker Jacquet Robinson had a sack.

Jones has a bye next week, then hosts Cypress Creek (0-3) on Oct. 6 at 7.

Freshman quarterback Brian Dillard entered the game at the end of the second quarter and gave West Orange’s offense a spark in the second half. He connected with senior receiver and UCF-commit Jordyn Bridgewater for touchdowns of 11 and 43 yards.

The Warriors go on the road to play Ocoee (2-2) on Sept. 29 in the Battle For The Shield.

Tariq Hollinger intercepted a pass and ran it back 30 yards for a Jones pick-6. Tigers lead 13-0 with 8:21 left in the first quarter after the missed extra point.

Jerrian Parker runs for a 50-yard touchdown on 3rd-and-5 to give Jones a 7-0 lead with 8:36 left in the first quarter

No. 8 Winter Park d. No. 14 Evans, 28-13

In a sloppy penalty-filled game, Winter Park (4-0) was able to stay undefeated by picking up a home win over Evans (2-3).

“It’s not just a problem tonight, it’s a problem throughout the season,” Winter Park head coach Tim Shifflet said. “At the end of the day, that’s the kind of stuff that’s gonna end up costing you football games. It’s inexcusable.”

The two teams combined to commit a total of 27 penalties and four turnovers. Winter Park was penalized 16 times. Despite the mistakes, the Wildcats, No. 8 in the 4M state rankings, controlled the game from start to finish.

“We made some big plays offensively when we needed them. Thought the quarterback did a good job and defensively I thought we played real well,” Shifflet said. “They’re a very good football team, they’re very physical and very talented and it was one of those situations where we had to battle for the whole 48 to get a win.”

After a touchdown in the first quarter, Evans was unable to get on the board again until its final drive of the game, which was all but over.

Winter Park will travel next week to face Hagerty, which also won Friday. Evans will have an away game against Lake Brantley.

By Max Gamarra

Here are the in-game updates.

An onside kick attempt by the Trojans was recovered by Winter Park.

TOUCHDOWN: Evans senior RB Jermaine Hardy ran past the Winter Park defense for a 30-yard touchdown. Two-point conversion was unsuccessful. Winter Park 28, Evans 13 with 1:08 in four quarter.

End of 3Q: Winter Park 21, Evans 7.

On 4th-and-10, Evans senior QB Chris Peterson tried to run for the first down but was tackled short of the marker. Winter Park took over possession on downs at its own 14-yard line. Winter Park 21, Evans 7 with 2:35 in 3Q.

TOUCHDOWN: Winter Park senior QB Aaron Williams found Evan Van Dyke on a post route for a 61-yard touchdown, Van Dyke’s second of the game. PAT was good. Winter Park 21, Evans 7 with 9:10 in 3Q.

Winter Park kicked off to Evans who returned the kick to the Winter Park 39-yard line and the game is underway at Showalter Field.

Evans was competitive in losses to ranked Seminole and Ocoee.

No. 15 Dr. Phillips d. No. 16 Boone, 21-3

This was Rodney Wells’ kind of football. The Dr. Phillips head coach watched his Panthers stymie Boone by never allowing the visitors’ offense past midfield.

An interception by Boone safety LJ Wilson, who returned it 45 yards, put Boone in Dr. Phillips territory. The Braves, however, had to settle for a 37-yard field goal by Blake Bolger. From there it was all Dr. Phillips (3-2).

“That’s a good night,” Wells said. “Going into a bye week we have a lot of guys banged up, so hopefully we’ll get them back. Now it’s district time.”

DP safety Maliki Wright led the defensive charge for Dr. Phillips, picking off two Boone passes. He returned one for a touchdown, but it was called back due to a penalty. UCF commit Jashad Presley, the other DP safety, also had a big night, as did linebacker Fred Thomas and the entire defensive front.

Boone (2-3) could not move the ball on the ground despite the return from injury of its 2022 standout rusher, Laggarius Marshell.

The DP touchdowns came on a 27-yard pass from Stanley Anderson to Mykel Calixte, and runs by Anderson and Kenorris White.

These teams were also side-by-side in the MaxPreps 4M rankings – with DP No. 14 and Boone No. 15. DP has beaten the Braves 10 times in a row.

By Chris Hays

Here are the in-game updates.

Maliki Wright snares another interception and that about sews this up for Dr. Phillips, leading Boone 21-3. Victory formation.

TOUCHDOWN: Dr. Phillips RB Kenorris White scored on a 12-yard run. DP leads Boone 21-3, 4:02 fourth quarter.

Dr. Phillips safety Maliki Wright had a 43-yard Pick-6 brought back due to penalty, but DP has ball back at the Boone 31.

Stanley Anderson scored on a 3-yard touchdown run and Dr. Phillips now leads Boone 14-3 with 7:51 to go in the game.

A shanked 10-yard punt set Dr. Phillips up in Boone territory at the 39. But Boone forced a turnover on downs, 2:40 third quarter.

TOUCHDOWN: Dr. Phillips finally gets on the board with Stanley Anderson throwing a 27-yard touchdown pass to Mykel Calixte, DP leads Boone 7-3, 7:18 third quarter.

SCORE: Boone’s Blake Bolger kicked a 37-year field goal with 27 seconds to go in the first quarter to gave the Braves a 3-0 lead.

Boone’s LJ Wilson intercepted a Dr. Phillips pass and returned it 45 yards. A 15-yard penalty was tacked on against DP. The Braves are in business at the DP 19 early on.

No. 3 Sanford Seminole d. Vero Beach, 45-20

Seminole (4-1), No. 3 in the 4M state rankings, erased an early 12-0 deficit on the road and overpowered previously unbeaten Vero (3-1), which ranks No. 5 in 4S.

Senior QB Karson Siqueiros-Lasky threw three touchdown passes in the victory. He quickly got the Seminoles back in the game with a 21-yard pass to Marvin Brown for a 14-12 lead early in the second quarter. He then found Justin Rosado on a 51-yard pass to the goal line. Rosado fumbled after the catch but recovered in the end zone for the score and a 21-12 lead.

Seminole powered past Vero Beach though in the second half, only giving up a safety for Vero Beach’s lone second-half points. Siqueiros-Lasky added two more touchdown throws, finding Marvin Brown for a short four-yard score and Michael Key from 12 yards out to secure the win.

No. 4 Lake Mary d. Spruce Creek 42-7

Noah Grubbs continued to drive Lake Mary’s high-powered offense, throwing six touchdown passes, including a 74-yard TD to Carson Hinshaw on the first play of the game.

The Rams ran their record to 4-0 and dealt the Hawks (4-1) their first loss with the lopsided road victory.

Grubbs connected with Hinshaw for two scores, spreading touchdown passes to Caden Harshbarger, Isaiah Thomas, Carson Friedman and Logan Cook in the win. That brings Grubbs’ total for the season to 23.

T.J. Clayton had an interception to end the game as Lake Mary’s defense put in another solid effort after not giving up any points in a 35-2 win over Lake Brantley last week.

The Rams will put their perfect record on the line next week at home against Jacksonville Mandarin.

Here are the in-game updates:

TOUCHDOWN: Make that six TD passes for Lake Mary sophomore QB Noah Grubbs. The Rams make it 42-7 early in the fourth quarter.

Lake Mary scored on the first play of the game on a 74-yard pass from Noah Grubbs to Carson Hinshaw. The Rams upped that lead to 14-0 on a second TD pass by Grubbs to Isaiah Thomas.

The Rams, stingy on defense since their 76-60 season opening win vs. Dr. Phillips, shut the Hawks out 19-0 last season.

Lake Mary is No. 5 in 4M.

Lake Mary sophomore QB Noah Grubbs is third in the state with 17 touchdown passes according to MaxPreps. Senior receiver Carson Hinshaw is tied for the state lead with 8 TD receptions.

No. 5 DeLand d. Seabreeze, 50-0

The Bulldogs (3-1) dominated at home against the Sandcrabs (0-4).

Javon Ross scored twice, including a 34-yard rushing touchdown. But attention was on linebacker Victor Jones, who left the game on a backboard as paramedics attended to him.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported that the game was delayed for nearly 20 minutes in the second quarter after Jones went down away from the play following a punt.

Once play resumed, the Bulldogs quickly got back to work scoring on a 53-yard run from Wyatt Darlington and a 34-yard run from Javon Ross to take a 36-0 lead into the half. Ladamion Bletcher added another score for DeLand in the win.

DeLand is 10-0 against Seabreeze since 2014. Before that streak started this Volusia County rivalry was dead even at 32-32-2.

No. 9 Orange City University d. Flagler Palm Coast 29-28

By Chris Hays

Thanks to the poise of junior quarterback Malachi Walters and the athleticism of Mr. Everything, Jermaine Hayes, the Titans survived a scare.

The host Titans (5-0) trailed 28-13 with seven minutes to go but rallied to pull out a pulsating victory in a Thursday night game.

Walters engineered two late scoring drives, the second culminating in a two-point conversion pass to Anthony Mays to give University a 29-28 lead. Then Hayes stepped up, as he had all game, and blocked a 29-yard FPC field goal attempt with 26 seconds remaining to seal the victory.

“I’m really proud,” first-year University head coach Justin Roberts said. “We’ve been fortunate. We’ve had, maybe some not-as-contested games, so we kind of wanted to find out what we were made of with our backs against the wall and I was really proud.

“They got up off the mat in the second half, nobody panicked and they just went back to their basics.”

The Titans, ranked No. 15 in Class 4S, followed FPC’s fourth touchdown with a scoring drive that ended with a 17-yard TD run by Jabailey Morris. The Titans converted a two-point try to make it 28-21.

UHS forced a punt and Walters passed deep to Barrett Schulz for a 48-yard TD. The Titans went for the win and got it when Walters threw to May for the two-point conversion.

Walters threw a touchdown pass to Isaiah Baker for a 13-7 lead but FPC (2-2) then scored three unanswered TDs.

Hayes scored on a 21-yard run in the first quarter for UHS. He was all over the field, playing both ways.

University eked out a 21-19 win at FPC last year. The Titans travel next week to face New Smyrna Beach, which is 4-0 after a Friday win.

No. 10 Ocoee (2-2) at Freedom (1-3)

Ocoee is No. 10 in 4M.

The Knights won 47-12 last season to take a 5-4 lead in a series that dates to the Knights’ 2004 debut season.

Daytona Beach Mainland d. No. 11 Lake Minneola, 31-28

Lake Minneola rallied with 22 straight points, tying the game on a 54-yard touchdown pass from Jackson Hughes to Braylon Knauth late in the third quarter. But Jacob Gettman’s 26-yard field goal for Mainland (5-0) early in the fourth quarter stood as the winning score.

Knauth had two receiving touchdowns for Lake Minneola (1-3), scoring on a 66-yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter. Lake Minneola would not score again though until they were down 28-6 midway through the second following a fumble recovery and return for a touchdown from Rodney Hill.

A Hughes pass to D’Nari Adams on a 55-yard play in the second quarter made it 28-20 at the half. That set Lake Minneola with the chance to tie the score and eventually win the game.

The Hawks had the ball at their own 25 with 4:03 left but were forced to punt, allowing the Buccaneers to run out the clock and secure the win.

Mainland was top-ranked in 3S going into this game at Daytona Stadium. Lake Minneola, No. 20 in 4S, faced its third top-10 team.

No. 12 Wekiva d. Lake Brantley 28-7

Jabarri Smith scored on a pick-6 from 55 yards as a safety and then passed to Jeremy Benjamin for a 59-yard score to lead the Mustangs to the victory. Jamarian Robinson added a 46-yard touchdown run to help the Mustangs improve to 3-2 on the season.

After recovering a fumble, Wekiva scored on a 2-yard keeper by Anthony Gay to take a 28-0 third-quarter lead.

Wekiva is No. 12 in 3M. Lake Brantley beat the Mustangs 17-12 last season in Altamonte Springs.
