Jones, Seminole keep top spots
3 matchups this week will pit teams in the Super 16
Seminole High extended its football regular-season unbeaten streak to 19 games Friday when it closed its schedule with a decisive 33-6 win at Orange City University.
The Seminoles (7-0), ranked No. 2 behind Jones (5-0) in the Sentinel Super 16, won their final three games in 2018 and went 9-0 in the 2019 regular season before losing to Apopka in a Class 8A region championship game.
“I’m really proud of the guys. They’ve worked hard all season,” said Seminole first-year coach Eric Lodge. “We’re undefeated on every level — freshman, [ junior varsity] and varsity. It’s a good feeling when they come out and work hard and it pays off.”
The regular season has likely also ended for No. 3 Dr. Phillips (5-1), which was scheduled to host No. 12 Bishop Moore (4-2) on Friday. That game was canceled last week after it was announced that the Hornets were forced into quarantine due to a positive COVID-19 test result within the program.
The Panthers are among area teams scheduled to compete in FHSAA postseason play-in games next week on Nov. 13.
Friday’s slate of regularseason finales features three
matchups between Super 16 teams. The schedule is highlighted by No. 4 Edgewater (2-2) at home against No. 9 Boone (6-1) in a Spirit Barrel rivalry game that dates to the 1950s.
Jones plays at No. 14 West Orange (4-2) and No. 10 Apopka (5-2) plays at No. 15 Wekiva (3-3).
The Super 16 includes last week’s ranking in parentheses if different and current win-loss records.
