Between law school and a newly purchased house in Independence, David Nickelson was $252,000 in debt. Occasionally, he would turn on the show of Dave Ramsey, a radio personality who counsels people under financial stress and encourages them to become debt free. “I finally started hearing what he was saying a little bit better, when he always talks about when you have all this debt, you have lots of risk,” Nickelson said. He looked at his debt — about $70,000 in student loans

West Orange escapes hurricane with minimal damage

It’s rare to see downtown Winter Garden completely void of vehicles and people, but that was the case late afternoon Thursday, Oct. 6, as the city and residents prepared for Hurricane Matthew to reach Florida.

The boardwalk at Oakland Nature Preserve is closed until repairs can be made.

WEST ORANGE TIMES & OBSERVER STAFF

astor Rusty Belcher was already on his way to his church Friday, Oct. 7, when he heard that Hurricane Matthew had caused some damage to the campus. What he saw when he arrived at the First United Methodist Church of Winter Garden was actually a miracle. Yes, the 50-something-yearold water oak with the beautiful canopy that graced the front lawn of the campus was split in two. But, this felled giant tree had completely missed the crown jewel of the sanctuary, the 70-year-old stained-glass window. There was minimal damage to the eave above the sanctuary’s southwest entrance. Immediately, city of Winter Garden crews were there to remove the tree half blocking Lakeview Avenue, and church members and a tree service were on site to assess damage and remove the tree away from the building. Downed trees appear to be the major damage from the hurricane, which reached the eastern coast of Florida early Friday morning, Oct. 7. Winter Garden was spared from the worst damage, with much less debris and damage than the city saw from Hurricane Charley in 2004. “Winter Garden, we are blessed,” said Mayor John Rees. “I’ll put it that way. We had a few trees down, a couple of neighborhoods — a few people without electricity for a short time period, but nothing major that I know about.” City crews began going around the city early afternoon Friday to assess the situation and clean up any debris they found. In Ocoee, the only city employees working Friday were emergency personnel; employees in the Utilities, Public Works and Parks and Recreation departments worked Saturday to aid in cleanup and to handle

any issues that arose. “I was not made aware of any significant damage within the city,” Ocoee Mayor Rusty Johnson said. “There were trees down, some power outage and lots of yard debris. We were very lucky.” Both Winter Garden and Ocoee had sandbags available for residents. Windermere fared well, too. “We had no significant damage, and we were quite fortunate,” Windermere Mayor Gary Bruhn said. “We lost a handful of trees, but our emergency tree removal people were able to respond immediately and keep our roads open. We did have some power outages in parts of our town, but everyone was back up by late that evening.” Public Works personnel were on the job Saturday to repair washouts and remove debris. “We have an issue that most municipalities don’t have, and that is the state of our police department and offices,” Bruhn said. “Staff had to cover or remove electronic devices should our roofs leak or the building be damaged. We also had to remove our Police Command Center to the Ocoee Police Department because of the high winds and the need for our officers to be in a safer building.” The Windermere Police Department held and attended several meetings to prepare in the days preceding the storm. Oakland’s damage included a large tree that fell on the west end of Oakland Avenue, downed power lines and significant power outage for most of Friday. Public Works Director Mike Parker said the water system operated on generator power for nearly 17 hours and no customers were without water service during the storm. The town secured various contractors prior to the storm for debris removal and other support services. “All publicly owned drainage facilities performed as expected, and other than construction

site erosion and minor ponding of water along roadways and on private properties, there were no instances of flood damage,” Parker said. Mayor Kathy Stark said a generator at a home on Tubb Street caught fire and spread to a nearby shed and tree. The shed was completely destroyed, and the tree was scorched. “In preparation of the storm, Public Works ensured that all outdoor areas were secured and all potentially needed equipment was in working order and available,” Stark said. “We posted information on assistance from Duke Energy, water emergencies, garbage pickup etc. on our website and around town for the residents.” The Oakland Nature Preserve did not escape damage. While no animals were harmed, the preserve did have some fallen trees, a few of which damaged the boardwalk. “(Hurricane Matthew) left his mark here, which means our boardwalk will be out of commission for a bit while we make repairs,” a post on ONP’s Instagram account stated. “But that’s about the extent of it, and all our animals seem to be in good

Windermere residents looked out their windows to see an object floating past Bird Island on Lake Butler. They soon realized it was a floating dock — capable of colliding with and destroying neighboring docks. The floating dock missed a stationary dock by mere inches and crashed into a group of cypress trees in the water. From that point, the floating dock began to break into pieces, ending the risk of damage to property.

shape, so we’re not stressing too much.” Orange County District 1 Commissioner S. Scott Boyd said he had been in contact with the fire rescue chief frequently throughout the duration of the storm and has not heard of any significant damage to the West Orange area. “I would say that Mayor (Teresa) Jacobs and the staff and our public personnel have done a really good job,” Boyd said. “I think we were spared by the storm. … I think we had 1,400 residents that were in the (Orange County) shelters, some traffic lights out and power outages were going on, but for the most part all of that got done.” On Sunday, Oct. 9, more than 150 volunteers from the Windermere and Winter Garden congregations of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints aided residents in Volusia and Flagler counties. Teams took generators, chainsaws and other equipment to neighborhoods and spent the day clearing storm debris from yards and homes. One volunteer was Daniel Bowers, of Horizon West. “We’ve got the will, and we just want to help anybody,” he

said. “Nobody wants to have no power, no water, your roof’s leaking and you don’t know what’s going to happen, and it gives people peace of mind, and that’s why we’re out here doing it.” Ana Gibbs, spokeswoman for Duke Energy, said that of the areas in Florida that the company serves, Orange, Seminole and Volusia counties were the hardest hit by the hurricane. Duke Energy serves approximately 350,000 customers in Orange County alone. Of these, about 86,000 reported power outages. Gibbs said that all power in the county was restored by midnight on Sunday, Oct. 9, thanks to the help of more than 3,000 utility workers doing repair work around the clock. “They actually began before the storm hit,” Gibbs said. “We stage them in areas that are safe until the storm comes, and then they respond once the outages are being reported (after the storm).” Following the storm, OneBlood was in need of donations of O negative, platelets and AB plasma. For a list of donor centers and Big Red Bus blood drive locations, visit oneblood.org.

The water oak that stood in front of the First United Methodist Church of Winter Garden is estimated to be 50 years old.

Nickelson followed Ramsey’s advice WANT TO BECOME DEBT-FREE? HERE ARE SOME OF NICKELSON’S TIPS.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“It’s just a huge relief. Something bad could happen — God forbid, I lose my job — I could probably make minimum wage and still be OK. … You sleep better, it’s just amazing.” — David Nickelson

n Budget. It’s good to look and see where you spent your money last month, but plan ahead of time on where your money will go. “If you don’t put it down on paper, if you don’t make a plan for that time or plan for that money, it kind of ends up getting frittered away or spent on something we don’t remember what we spent it on,” he said. n Use leftover expenses to pay off debt. When you budget, you’ll often have money left over at the end of the month. Use this money to reduce your debt. If your expenses are right at your income, consider other options to increase your income or reduce your expenses.

After paying off $252,000 in debt, David Nickelson appeared on the Dave Ramsey show to do the debt-free scream.

Observer “If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.” Friedrich Hayek “Road to Serfdom,” 1944 Publisher / Dawn Willis, dwillis@OrangeObserver.com Executive Editor / Michael Eng, meng@OrangeObserver.com Design Editor / Jessica Eng, jeng@OrangeObserver.com Community Editor / Amy Quesinberry Rhode, aqrhode@OrangeObserver.com Senior Sports Editor / Steven Ryzewski, sryzewski@OrangeObserver.com Staff Writers Gabby Baquero, gbaquero@Orange Observer.com Danielle Hendrix, dhendrix@OrangeObserver.com Jennifer Nesslar, jnesslar@OrangeObserver.com Advertising Executives Ryan Cater, rcater@OrangeObserver.com Michelle Gentry, mgentry@OrangeObserver. com Cyndi Gustafson, advertising@Orange Observer.com Ann Marie Vibbert, avibbert@ OrangeObserver.com

and $180,000 on the house — and decided to try to get rid of it. Nickelson followed Ramsey’s advice to write everything down and begin budgeting. He realized he could pay off up to $40,000 a year. But he moved more quickly than that, and within 54 months, he was debt free. He was 37. “It’s just a huge relief,” he said. “Something bad could happen — God forbid, I lose my job — I could probably make minimum wage and still be OK. … You sleep better, it’s just amazing.” Recently, he was featured on the Dave Ramsey show to do the debt-free scream, declaring “I’m debt free!”

THE JOURNEY TO DEBT FREE More than 14 years ago, Nickelson was a senior at the University of Michigan when he fell off of a second-story porch, crushing his back. “It was a mistake I made,” he said. “I was a young college kid who thought that drinking on the weekends was kind of the thing to do.” He spent five weeks in the hospital, where he shared a room with a positive person, and they mutually helped each other move forward from their injuries. After the hospital, he spent six months in a wheelchair. At first, he couldn’t drive, so he relied on his family to help get him around. He was humbled by how much he had to rely on others for tasks that he had done independently for most of his life.

Fourteen years later, Nickelson has regained much of his independence. He still uses a walker but is able to drive. To stay active, he is able to handcycle throughout the Horizon West trail system. At the University of Michigan, Nickelson graduated with a degree in chemical engineering but realized his injury wouldn’t allow him to be as hands-on in the field as he had hoped. A few years later, he was admitted into law school, where he specialized in patent research, which allows him to combine law with his engineering background — and enables him to work from home. When he moved to Horizon West and purchased his home, through listening to Dave Ramsey, he realized his debt was a huge risk — particularly with his disability. Nickelson said budgeting by

planning what he was going to spend his money on ahead of time helped him to pay off the debt. “Before I got on his plan, I was kind of trying to do everything — in the sense of saving a 401K and saving an IRA,” he said. “I had just bought a vehicle, and I paid cash for the vehicle, but I still had student loans. It was realizing how much risk that debt really carries and if something happens and all the sudden you couldn’t start paying your debt payments, you could lose the truck, you could lose the house. If you get that stuff cleared, it’s just amazing.” He found that focusing on getting rid of the debt, rather than doing all the other investmentrelated things helped him greatly.

issue is finalized, city staff will have five years to complete it. So far, the commission has only approved which projects will be given priority and partial funding by the $25 million it intends to borrow. “To be brutally honest, the real challenge is ahead of us now,” Assistant City Manager Craig Shadrix said. “I don’t want to take away from all the work that we’ve done so far, but once we close on the bond issue, the pressure is going to be on us to get all these projects constructed in a timely fashion.” The capital projects included on the high-priority list were chosen due to time sensitivity and their relation to other surrounding projects because, for the sake of efficiency, some projects need to be completed before others. “It’s very important that we consider all the dependencies of the different projects in relation

to one another while we’re in the design phase,” Shadrix said. “Some things are already under design, but it’s a simple matter of making the best possible use of tax dollars. I think our citizens would be very upset if we just went out there in a linear fashion and started building projects, only to have to tear up pieces of them and rework them as we completed other projects.” With the current estimated project costs, the highest price tags are for Bluford Avenue’s reconstruction at $9.6 million, City Hall’s relocation at $9 million and the downtown stormwater system project at $8.1 million. The downtown gravity sewer system project’s estimated cost is undetermined right now because the plans have not yet been designed. “We have a whole bunch of projects worth a whole bunch of money that we’d like to do in an ideal world, but we’re only going to be able to borrow about $25 million for the general fund bond

issue, and we’re only going to be able to build that master stormwater system with our stormwater fund,” Shadrix said. “So anything on top of that will have to come either from developer contributions or other funding as it becomes available.” Given its demand, and the perceived need for a facility to host large events in West Orange county, the $4 million Lakeshore Center expansion project was voted to be added to the funded projects list as well. “There’s a market that’s currently not being served by any facility in West Orange County for large events, and this (Lake-

shore Center) expansion project will allow us to have 400 people,” Shadrix said. “There’s not such a facility in West Orange County, which means people will have to go and contract with the hotel banquet halls down on (International) Drive or Disney, which has a much higher price tag.” Some supporting road extension and improvement projects totaling $17.5 million were left unfunded for now. The Oct. 18 commission meeting will see a vote on the design standards for the redevelopment master plan. Contact Gabby Baquero at gbaquero@orangeobserver.com.

or the past decade, the Winter Garden Police Athletic League, a nonprofit based in the Winter Garden Police Department, has made it its mission to improve the relationship between police officers and the public. By being more involved in the community and organizing programs catered for children in low-income families, PAL hopes to create a strong bond with younger generations to promote the understanding that law enforcement exists to serve and protect the community. “If you want to affect real positive change, start with elementary school-age children and you will affect change five to seven years from now,” said WGPD Officer Andrew Raphael, who became involved with the organization three years ago. He personally volunteers his time in the organization’s various programs because, he said, it gives him the opportunity to provide programs and events for children and families that will “ultimately benefit people in need (to) make the community stronger.”

R E S O R T - S T Y L E

The league invests much of its effort in designing programs to aid low-income families and encourage children and teens to stay off the streets. However, its overall goal, Raphael said, is to provide officers the chance to interact with children in a “very positive, nontraditional manner.” The idea is that the positive interaction experienced at an early age will build trust in the police and encourage people to feel comfortable in any possible future encounters with police officers. One of the programs the league hosts is the annual Holiday Gifts for Kids, in which they give about 400 local children from low-income families presents. Another program it coordinates is an eight-week summer camp, which Raphael estimates serves 140 children from families who might struggle to make ends meet. PAL launched the camp to assist parents unable to financially afford to send their kids to a summer camp and have no choice but to leave them home alone while they work. Two other programs are community basketball games and

RAVE OF THE WEEK BONNIE MURRAY BROADIE RAVE! I would like to thank all of our Winter Garden law-enforcement officers who did an amazing job keeping order and calm during the hurricane. I couldn’t be more proud of how Winter Garden upholds itself in the midst of what could be chaos in a state of emergency. New to Winter Garden, I was amazed to see the officers at many gas stations directing traffic and preventing any issues from happening as emotions heighten. Thank you to all of the businesses who were open to cater to those who were enduring the storm outside of their homes and away from their loved ones. Winter Garden is one of the best places I have to say I am proud to be a member of. THANK YOU!!!

Holy Grain Coffee Shop was one of more than 200 coffee shops around the country that transformed into Luke’s Diner Oct. 5 to celebrate the revival of the “Gilmore Girls” TV show. JENNIFER NESSLAR STAFF WRITER

TARS HOLLOW Sarah Sandel and Erin Warren had Wednesday-morning plans to meet for a coffee.

But the night before the date, they heard about Luke’s Diner. In anticipation of the Netflix revival of the TV show “Gilmore Girls,” Netflix hosted “Luke’s Diner” experiences Oct. 5 at more than 200 coffee shops around the country. Locally, Holy Grain Coffee in Dr. Phillips transformed into the show’s famous eatery for the morning. In the light of the news, Warren, a Windermere resident, donned her Yale T-shirt, and, like many local “Gilmore Girls” fans, switched her coffee date with Sandel to Luke’s. They weren’t the only ones. Hundreds of “Gilmore Girls” fans flocked to Holy Grain Coffee Shop Wednesday morning, some waiting nearly two hours to even get inside for a free cup of Luke’s Coffee. “I didn’t expect it to be this big,” Warren said. “I think someone at Netflix is getting a raise today.” In the show “Gilmore Girls,” Luke Danes, one of the main characters, owns the local diner that appears in nearly every episode. Luke doesn’t allow cell phones in his diner, a request that was posted to the wall of Holy Grain Coffee — and broken by nearly every patron,

Lilian Hentz, the owner of Holy Grain Coffee, transformed her coffee shop into Luke’s Diner for a day.

just as character Lorelai would have done. “It’s one of those perky little fandom things that people have going on, and I like to be a part of it,” said Sandel, a MetroWest resident. The show’s strong emphasis on family relationships — good or bad — stuck out to the people who attended the event. Many people enjoy the strong motherdaughter relationship between main characters Rory and Lorelai. “That’s just a great momdaughter relationship that everyone should have,” said Kristyn Shannon, who went with friends. Others recalled enjoying the show with family. “My sister turned me on to it, and I’m really close with my sister,” said Margo Eagon, who enjoyed coffee by herself after friends had to leave for work. “But I’m really close with my mom, too, so when I watch it with her, it’s like watching a show about us. It’s a very family-oriented show. It just makes you feel good about whether you get along with your parents or you don’t. There’s always something to relate to. … Even though the relationship

between the mother and daughter is really good, the relationship between the mother and the grandmother is not good.” The show revives on Netflix starting Nov. 25, more than nine years after the last episode aired in 2007. The Luke’s Diner event took place Oct. 5, the 16th anniversary of the day the show first aired. Many fans are excited about the revival — so excited that waiting for two hours to get into Luke’s Diner was completely worth it. “I owe this to my middle-school self,” said Justine Kaminsky, who attends the Disney College Program and watched the show growing up.

FROM THE WINTER GARDEN HERITAGE FOUNDATION

THROWBACK THURSDAY

45 years ago

A special item will be available at the area Holiday Bazaar. At the Church of the Messiah booth is an eightroom, two-story dollhouse built by William E. “Uncle Billy” Paquin, who is 95 years old. It will boast four original, signed murals by local artists Joe Burch, Kitty Osburn, Marilyn Jowett and Merilyn Field.

40 years ago

“Project Pride” is giving a new look to Plant Street in downtown Winter Garden. Palm trees have been planted in front of the Edgewater Hotel.

30 years ago

Anniversary parades and shows, a million birthday prizes and Michael Jackson in a new “Captain EO” are among highlights of Walt Disney World’s yearlong 15th birthday celebration in the Magic Kingdom and 4-year-old Epcot.

20 years ago

The West Oaks Mall planned its grand opening for 9:45 a.m. Oct. 2. The one-millionsquare-foot mall in Ocoee featured four department stores and 100 specialty shops.

DILLARD AND BOYD’S GENERAL STORE

An ox driver poses with his team in the middle of the intersection of Plant and Main streets in downtown Winter Garden. Dillard and Boyd’s General Merchandise store, along with other wooden shops, stands on the southwest corner where today’s brick two-story Bond Building is located. The setting is well over a century ago, as the businesses shown in the photo burned in a 1912 fire. The tracks of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad can easily be seen in the foreground. The ox team is pulling an object that can’t easily be identified. If any readers can help, please call the WGHF at (407) 656-3244.

THE WINTER GARDEN TIMES, SEPT. 16, 1976 A full-page advertisement in the Sept. 16, 1976, issue of The Winter Garden Times gave shoppers a glimpse of the savings to be had at the Boogaarts grocery store in the shopping center on West Silver Star Road in Ocoee. With prices like these, it would have been easy to prepare a wellrounded meal for less than $10.

Ryan Rouse is the new youth pastor at First Baptist Church Winter Garden.

The greatest compliment you can give is a referral!

AMY QUESINBERRY RHODE COMMUNITY EDITOR

At First Baptist Winter Garden, his main responsibilities are leading the youth group of sixth- through 12th-graders and overseeing the church’s missions priorities locally and globally. Leslie Haurlebaus is his ministry assistant, “which is great because she is a great behindthe-scenes person that focuses on every little detail, while I’m more of a big-picture-type guy,” Rouse said. Yarborough was Rouse’s youth pastor, and Rouse said he shaped him as a young person. Thus, their style of ministry is similar. “Everything in our ministry will be centered around building closer relationships with each other and with God,” he said. “I spend a lot of time investing in kids.” “My office is always open, and already it’s not uncommon for kids to come straight from school and just hang out and talk before they even go home,” he said. The Rouses are happy to be in

Winter Garden, where he grew up. “We love the community here, and First Baptist is where I attended until I took my first ministry job at First Baptist Clermont,” he said. “It’s really a dream job that I never thought I’d have the opportunity to have.” He joins two other former First Baptist Winter Garden youth who now serve on staff: Will Blaine and Scott Brazell. Blaine said Rouse has a real servant’s heart and is a great addition to the ministry team. “Ryan has a very relational approach with our youth, which has had a huge impact on building trust,” Blaine said. “I’m getting to experience first-hand why he is loved by so many. He is one of those guys that is ready to get in the trenches and help serve those that are often marginalized in our community.” Contact Amy Quesinberry Rhode at aqrhode@orangeobserver.com.

yan Rouse has had another career change, but he continues to lead children to Christ. Rouse accepted the position of full-time youth pastor at First Baptist Church Winter Garden, following in the footsteps of Keith Yarborough, who held that job for more than 30 years. For Rouse and his wife, Stacie, that meant returning to the United States from Haiti, where they had spent three years directing an orphanage through Cabaret Haiti Mission. “When we moved to Haiti, people always asked how long we would be serving there,” Rouse said. “Our response was always, ‘As long as God wants us here, we will stay.’ At first we didn’t think our service in Haiti was over, but God made it clear that this was His plan.” Prior to his work in Haiti, Rouse was a youth pastor for 13 years.

Ryan Rouse is back in the United States after running an orphanage in Haiti for three years and is again serving as a pastor to local youth.

EARNED, NOT GIVEN lowing his junior season was from UMass — nothing to sneeze at, but still not what he felt his numbers warranted. Part of the problem, Burton knew, was that recruiters didn’t necessarily respect the level of competition he had been facing. As he reflected on this, Burton kept thinking about the high school down in Florida his uncle, Phil Burton, kept telling him about — a school that had just advanced all the way to the FHSAA Class 8A State Semifinals for the first time and which, as luck would have it, was in need of a quarterback.

WINDERMERE PREP FOOTBALL COACH DIES The Windermere Prep football team — and the campus community — is mourning the death of Brad Ramsey, an art teacher and football coach for the school. Ramsey died las weekend. Messages of mourning began circulating through social media the evening of Oct. 9, and the school’s official Twitter account confirmed the news with a tweet at 9:28 p.m. that evening, reading: “We are so saddened to say our colleague and friend, Brad Ramsey, passed away unexpectedly over the weekend.” Athletic director and football coach Jacob Doss said that the team gathered together and decided as a group to go ahead with playing its scheduled game this Friday against CFCA at home as a tribute to their coach’s memory.

Austin Burton transferred to West Orange with the goal of earning his teammates’ trust and Power-5 scholarship offers. He did both, and now the UCLA commit is hoping to lead the Warriors out of a nosedive and into the state playoffs.

STEVEN RYZEWSKI SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR WINTER GARDEN The recruiting interest was

coming, just not on par with where Austin Burton and his family thought it should be. As a junior for Newton South High in the southeast suburbs of Boston, the 6-foot4-inch quarterback had thrown for an eyepopping 3,299 yards and 34 touchdowns in leading the Lions to an 8-3 season. Still, Burton’s only offer immediately fol-

That school was West Orange High, and it didn’t take much more than a visit before the ball was rolling and Burton was enrolled as a student in Winter Garden in time for the spring season. “I was having good seasons up in Boston, but recruiting was tough because (colleges) don’t really respect the level of play up there as much as they do down here,” Burton said. “Also, I wanted to see how much different it is playing down here ... and you play teams with five, six guys going Division I.” Leaving his family and friends just ahead of his senior year was a hard choice for Burton, but it’s hard to argue that it did not pay dividends. After working to get his timing accustomed to the speed of wide receivers in Florida, Burton made a splash by passing for five passing touchdowns in West Orange’s spring victory over Gainesville. Then, the offers came — FIU, Boston College and, eventually, UCLA. Turns out, all recruiters needed to see was whether the cerebral passer with the big arm could hack it in Florida. “That means everything,” West Orange coach Bob Head said. “UCLA, Boston College told me the same thing. It’s knowing that he’s that good and can play at this level. It was key for him.” First, Burton committed to his hometown Boston College Eagles. Later, though, when UCLA came calling, the system and fit the Bruins offered seemed to be too much to ignore. “It’s an opportunity I couldn’t pass up,” Burton said. “The offense fits me perfect.” Of course, Burton did more than just earn scholarship offers. Within no time, the mild-mannered signal caller had earned the trust and support of teammates eager to keep the program headSEE LEADER PAGE 24

Despite setbacks, Warriors still can make postseason Wins for West Orange Oct. 13 at Evans and Oct. 27 at home against Wekiva would punch a ticket for the postseason for the fourth consecutive season. STEVEN RYZEWSKI SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

One loss after another, the Warrior faithful were left to wonder just what had happened to their state semifinalist team from a season ago. West Orange’s losing skid, a chain of losses that started in Week Two when Winter Park beat the Warriors to the tune of 50-14, is now up to five.

REWIND: Legacy tops CFCA in Saturday WEEK SEVEN RESULTS:

morning showdown

Scores from Week Seven football games played Oct. 8 and Oct. 10 (home teams on bottom): Ocoee 30, West Port (Ocala) 7 Foundation Academy 27, Jordan Christian Prep 0 Legacy Charter 10, CFCA 0 Cancelled: Lake Nona at West Orange

MATTHEW’S MESS

Hurricane Matthew may not have inflicted the level of damage in inland Central Florida that many feared, but the storm did significantly alter the high-school football slate for this past weekend. No games were played on Friday because of the storm, and locally one game was outright cancelled (Lake Nona at West Orange). Foundation Academy, CFCA and Legacy Charter played postponed games on Saturday, while Ocoee played Monday — setting up a scenario where the Knights will play two games in four days.

Steven Ryzewski

Hilton Lamprecht tossed a 37-yard strike to Zachary Kelley for the game’s only touchdown.

he path of Hurricane Matthew forced Legacy Charter and CFCA to play their scheduled rivalry game later Saturday morning instead of Friday night, with Legacy getting the best of CFCA 10-0. With teams unable to practice on Thursday or Friday before taking the field at CFCA on Saturday, the game was as much a battle against the unique situation the storm presented as it was between teams. “It was so hard to have a game plan,” said Legacy head coach Jarrett Wiggers. “This has been the weirdest week ever — missing two days of practice due to the hurricane, basically only having one full day of practice this week. It was hard to know how we were going

to come out.” As it happened, Legacy (4-2) came out strong and capitalized on turnovers to score all 10 of its points in the first half. Legacy’s senior quarterback Hilton Lamprecht connected on a 37-yard touchdown pass to senior Zachary Kelley for the game’s only touchdown with seven minutes left in the second quarter. Lamprecht, in his second game back from injury, took the majority of snaps at quarterback, with junior Gehrig Chambless lining up at several positions for the Eagles in addition to also taking some snaps at quarterback. — JEAN RACINE

Foundation blanks JCP Traveling to Lakeland Saturday night, the Foundation Academy Lions served Jordan Christian Prep its first loss of the season with a 27-0 shutout effort. The Lions (4-3) have now won three consecutive games and four of their past five contests. Foundation’s defense record its second shutout in as many weeks and recovered two of Jordan Christian Prep’s (4-1) fumbles along the way.

Ocoee overcomes slow start The Ocoee Knights overcame a slow start Monday night to defeat host West Port 30-7. The Knights (4-2, 4-0 district) trailed 7-3 at halftime before rallying for 27 points in the second half. Dorian Jones caught two touchdown passes from Jake Novello and Konrie Brown led the Ocoee rushing attack with 148 yards — including a pivotal 62-yard rushing touchdown. The win keeps the Knights in sole command of first place in Class 7A, District 4 and means Ocoee can now clinch a playoff berth — and district championship — as early as this Thursday, when it hosts Lake Howell.

WEEK EIGHT PREVIEW

— STEVEN RYZEWSKI

Ocoee can clinch 1st district title with 2nd game in 4 days LAKE HOWELL (5-1, 2-1 DISTRICT) AT OCOEE (4-2, 4-0 DISTRICT), 7:30 P.M. THURSDAY Scouting report: With a win in this game, Ocoee would guarantee that Hagerty (3-1 in district) is the only team that could tie the Knights in district standings, in which case Ocoee owns the tiebreaker. In short, that means that the Knights are playing for the school’s first-ever district title and playoff berth on Thursday night. Of course, to accomplish that monumental moment, Ocoee will have to win its second game in four days as Hurricane Matthew meant its game against West Port (30-7 victory) was pushed back to Monday this week. Fortunately, the Knights will not be alone in the unusual setting, as Lake Howell topped Edgewater on Monday, too. “We’re going to try and do everything we can to try and make sure that the guys’ bodies

remains alive in the hunt for a playoff berth while the loser is officially eliminated from contention. West Orange coach Bob Head said he is eager to see if his team can put together its first complete effort of the fall.

are taken care of and that we’re safe — we’re thinking about them first,” Ocoee coach Ben Bullock said. “We’ll be fine. The game is scheduled so we’re going to show up prepared and ready for it.”

WEST ORANGE (1-5, 0-1 DISTRICT) AT EVANS (2-4, 0-1 DISTRICT), 7 P.M. THURSDAY Scouting report: After five weeks of facing high-powered offenses, the Warriors defense will get a bit of a reprieve as the Trojans are averaging just 10.5 points per game in their past four outings — all losses. The winner of this game

FOUNDATION ACADEMY (4-3, 1-0 DISTRICT) AT VICTORY CHRISTIAN (5-0, 0-0 DISTRICT), 7 P.M. FRIDAY Scouting report: The Lions will take the field in Lakeland on Friday with the opportunity to clinch a second consecutive district championship, but will have to take down an undefeated Storm squad to do so. Both teams are coming off of a pair of dominant wins, with Foundation riding consecutive shutouts into Friday’s game and Victory Christian having outscored opponents 72-7 in its past two wins.

ORANGEWOOD CHRISTIAN (1-5, 1-2 DIVISION) AT LEGACY CHARTER (4-2, 2-1 DIVISION), 7 P.M. FRIDAY AT OCOEE BULLDOG FIELD Scouting report: A win by the Eagles keeps them alive in the race for the runner-up spot in the Coastal Central Florida division of the SSAC — or even in position for a three-way tie for first if Windermere Prep is upset by CFCA. Orangewood’s only victory has come against winless Lake Mary Prep. CFCA (2-4, 2-1 DIVISION) AT WINDERMERE PREP (6-0, 3-0 DIVISION), 4:30 P.M. Scouting report: Coming off of being shutout, the Eagles will need to drastically ramp up their scoring production to try and keep pace with the highflying Lakers who are averaging 47.3 points per game. Though the matchup does not figure favorably for CFCA, a victory would likely create a three-way tie for first place in the division.
