Ocoee City Commission approves construction of charter school After three years in Gotha, Kids Community College will open in August 2015 at Lake Olympia Square. OCOEE — Ocoee city commissioners approved Oct. 7 an exception that allows for the construction of a Kids Community College charter school in Lake Olympia Square. The school will move from its current location in the Citrus Oaks neighborhood of Gotha in time to begin the 2015-16 year next August. The plan to build this
school required a special exception, because the land is within a commercial district of Ocoee. Many community parents and members of the development team gathered and spoke on behalf of the plan during a discussion that lasted more than an hour. “The synergy between the school and the shopping center is really good,” said
Timothy H. Powell, urban planner for TSP Companies Inc. “Almost any commercial property of any size is going to want direct visual exposure to Silver Star Road. The school behind will enhance the value of those commercial properties. Is it prime commercial property? No, it’s in a dead corner of a

According to Lt. Scott Allen, the girl was recovered Oct. 10 and returned to her family. Investigators still are looking into the incident to determine if more charges will follow, he said.

The 18-year-old man who pleaded no contest on charges associated with a December 2013 shooting at West Orange High School also is facing charges for a murder that took place just nine days earlier. J’Morian Bell has been charged with first-degree murder for the Nov. 25, 2013, shooting death of Lance “Matt” Whitten. According to Orange County Sheriff’s Office reports, shortly after 10 p.m. Nov. 25, 2013, Whitten had just left a friend’s home, at 7213 Keri Court, in Pine Hills, and was standing in the driveway when he was shot. As Whitten staggered for help, he collapsed and died at 7220 Keri Court. Sheriff’s Office investigators are searching for a second suspect, Calvin McClain, in that case and have charged a third suspect, Antwaun Welch, 22. Welch currently is serving a prison sentence for a July 2013 robbery. Last week, Bell pleaded no contest to three charges — attempted murder, discharging a firearm and possession of a firearm on
J’Morian Bell school property — in the West Orange High shooting. A fourth charge, for aggravated battery, was dropped. Bell will serve 25 years for the West Orange High shooting. According to Sheriff’s Office reports, on Dec. 4, 2013, Bell, then 17, shot then-15-year-old Ja’Roderick Smith several times in front of buses full of students waiting to go home. Bell fled after the shooting, but police set up roadblocks around the school. Within two hours, he was arrested. If convicted of the Whitten murder, Bell, McClain and Welch all could face life in prison. Anyone with information about McClain should call Crimeline at (407) 4238477.

OCOEE — The Ocoee City Commission approved two proposals Oct. 7 that will add both commercial and residential projects to the city. Commissioners endorsed Arden Park North Phase 2, a residential development of an 85.45-acre parcel at 9421 Clarcona-Ocoee Road between Hobson and Ingram roads. Lake Sims and wetlands compose 10.34 acres of the parcel. Arden Park North Phase 2 will add 205 single-family homes, resulting in a net density of 2.73 units per acre. Construction will be done in two phases. It will include park features, vegetation screen walls and a trail around Lake Sims. The site is currently undeveloped with mostly planted pine wetlands and 100-year floodplain areas. All streets of Arden Park North will be private and gated, with a guard house at the main entry and a road network maintained by the homeowners association. Six-foot cement walls, metal lattice fences and PVC fences will enclose the development. Amenities include a playground with benches, picnic tables, trash cans, and a pavilion overlooking Lake Sims. The status of recycling throughout the community is unclear. The project is part of the larger Arden Park PUD, which was approved originally in 2006 and amended in 2013. The development includes “an enhancement plan for wetland and floodplain areas around Lake Sim.” No houses will be built on the 100-year floodplains. The plan will affect
51.17 acres of wetlands. “Preservation of natural corridors is very important,” said Todd Clements, landscape architect for the project. “We intend to save a lot of the trees. Lake Sims is important to us as a natural area to be preserved.” A pond will discharge into Lake Sims and Trout Lake, affecting Trout Lake, in particular. Invasive and exotic vegetations exist within the wetland and floodplain areas of the development. A maintenance program will ensure removal and replacement of all invasive and exotic vegetations. About one-third of residential lots have been purchased. The commission also approved the Westyn Bay Commercial Planned Unit Development, rezoning the plot from commercial to planned unit development in the process. The parcel consists of 20.85 acres of forest at the southwest corner of Ocoee Crown Point Parkway and Ocoee Apopka Road. The plan of Kimley Horn & Associates Inc. includes 44 single-family units on 9.88 acres of residential land, 6.59 acres of commercial land and 4.37 acres of drainage tract. The next step in the development process will be a preliminary subdivision and site plan, which will require public hearings before both the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Commission. Mayor S. Scott Vandergrift was not in the commission chambers when the Westyn Bay vote took place. Contact Zak Kerr at zkerr@wotimes.com.

Duke Energy hosted a live-line demonstration Oct. 8, at its Winter Garden headquarters. The demonstration consisted of five Duke workers showing how unsafe power lines can be for everyday citizens. The deadliest example was a hot dog, meant to represent human flesh. At low wattage, a hot dog suffered severe burns within a second or two of touching a live line. At a higher wattage, a hot dog burst into flames immediately after touching the line. Even when a power line looks broken or dead, it likely has a current of thousands of volts, said Red Flowers, construction and maintenance supervisor. Most lines in Orange County have more than 7,000 volts surging through them at any moment. “Please don’t touch it,” he said. “Let us come.” Flowers said no one should go within 20 feet of a broken wire, even in vehicles. Duke crews who handle the wires use special tools to maintain great distance from the electrical components. Among the most important of those tools are special heavy-duty rubber gloves that stretch to the elbow. “They look like dishwasher gloves, but really, they’re not,” Flowers said. “They’re much stronger.” Workers test their gloves for holes and insulation after each job, including while moving from pole to pole for maintenance, and replace their gloves every 30 days, he said. The crew demonstrated proper usage of the gloves in many examples of hazardous conductors touching power lines, including shovels hitting ground wires, kites brushing power lines, aluminum objects such as ladders and poles resting on power lines and tree branches falling on lines. “Trees falling cause probably 80% to 90% of our outages,” Flowers said. For people using generators when their power is out, backfeed becomes a most dangerous threat, he said. He recommended turning the main breaker off before hooking up any generator. After power first goes out, the common misconception is that a transformer has blown, Flowers said. “Your buddy will come screaming, ‘The transformer blew!’” he said. “Well, typically, it’s not a transformer. Ninety-nine percent of the time, it is a fuse that blew, instead of the transformer itself.” Whether fuses, transformers or broken wires, Flowers said his crew had handled power issues through hurricanes, ice storms, floods and other natural disasters. Flowers did not mention electrical fires in that list. Although firefighters have boots insulated perhaps as well as Duke gloves, a measly nail through the sole of a boot resulted in a spark and smoke when the boot touched a live wire on the ground during the demonstration. Duke selected Josh Wilson, of Winter Garden, to demonstrate his abilities as a line technician in the 31st International Lineman’s Rodeo Oct. 18, at the National Agricultural Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs, Kansas. Wilson earned one of Duke’s 15 Florida entries through local competitions. The rodeo will include 40-foot pole climbs, simulated pole-top res-

LETTER
TO THE EDITOR
+ Where is Winter Garden’s 9/11 memorial? Dear Editor: A little more than two years ago, it was brought to my attention by a Winter Garden firefighter, along with my two children standing nearby, that the little odd-shaped piece of land that sits next to the fire department office off of Vineland, south of Story, would one day be turned into a 9/11 Memorial Park and be the resting home of a steel beam from the
Twin Towers for which our Winter Garden firefighters raised funds and transported from New York City. We thought that was such a great idea for that space and would be proud to have it nearby — especially because we can walk over to the park from our home. The park has been finished and beautifully landscaped for quite some time, a major improvement by the city for that road. But alas, the area that has been deemed to be the spot where the beam will go sits there empty, with nothing but mulch for the fire de-
partment employees to look at out their windows. We have been anxiously awaiting each time Sept. 11 approaches, thinking that maybe this will be the day they officially dedicate the park with that beam. But, so far, no mention of it. It seems a shame to us — especially because no one seems to know where the beam has gone — but also too, that Windermere has a 9/11 Memorial Monument, which includes a 650-pound piece of a steel beam and they have a celebration around it every year. We should be honoring our beam and the lives that were lost on that tragic day with a tribute every year here in Winter Garden, as well. So, how can we make that happen — can someone enlighten us please? Michelle, Genevieve and Julian Gentry Winter Garden

was placed at the terminus, enabling trains to turn around for their journey back to Tavares. Phil Cross, in his history of the railroad, shares that the crowd cheering the first train, unaware of the wye’s purpose, scattered for cover when engineer Morgan Mills hollered, “Lookout, folks, because we’re fixing to turn this train around!” “They may have
thought the train would run off the tracks and make a big circle in town,” Cross wrote. Although passenger service was discontinued in 1938, produce was shipped from two nearby packinghouses and a pulpwood company until 1969, when the depot was taken out of service.

The two-story structure was built in 1956 and was for many years the home of Macedonia Masonic Lodge No. 49. The building has been vacant for years, it is full of termites, part of the roof is missing, and the interior is dilapidated, Pash said. “We will have a structural engineer look at it and see where to go from here,” he said. “It’s not in good shape.” FP Consultants LLC purchased the property in August, and representatives had requested a permit from the city to rebuild the roof. According to City Commissioner Bob Buchanan, the building has been receiving code violations since 2005. Robert Daniel Keel, of Masonic Lodge No. 165, on West Bay Street, asked permission to obtain the building’s cornerstone and any other Masonic materials. “Knowing how this city protects its heritage, we’d be happy to preserve the cornerstone or anything else,” Keel said.

former city commissioner, thanked the officials for stepping in and said it took her two years to sell her property on nearby 11th Street because of the condition of the adjacent properties. The four houses at 301 were built in 1925, 1940 and 1946. The largest measures 668 square feet. “They have been there a long time, prior to current (building) codes,” said Steve Pash, the city’s code-enforcement manager. The four homes at 281 range in size from 273 to 360 square feet and were built in 1939, 1940 and 1946. Once the city tears down the buildings, a lien will be placed against the properties. City officials also agreed to spend $12,000 to purchase the half-acre property and building at 227 10th St., the former home of Macedonia Lodge No. 49. Officials will pursue options before making a commitment to tear it down, too, although that is the recommendation of Community Development Director Ed Williams.
Spayed Koolie, a band with roots in Windermere, performed on the steps of Town Hall during the event. The day kicked off with a 5K beer run sponsored by the Windermere Parks and Recreation Department and Tri & Run of West Orange.
IN OTHER NEWS • The commission approved the annexation and rezoning of a 39-acre parcel at 17806 Marsh Road and a 9.5acre piece of property on the south side of Seidner Road, both on the western boundary of Orange County. • Commissioners passed the first reading and public hearing of proposed ordinances annexing and rezoning approximately a quarter of an acre at 1030 Vineland Road. The second reading of these ordinances is Oct. 23. • The commission voted to purchase a $200 advertisement in the program for the 8th Annual Veterans and Families of Veterans Appreciation event, to be held Nov. 1 at Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church, Winter Garden.

KCC / PAGE 1A shopping center. A commercial building is not going in there.” The proposal thrilled City Commissioner Rosemary Wilsen. She said members of the Lake Olympia area and Orange County Kids Community Center had almost exclusively positive feedback, including many e-mails and a Change.org petition with 118 signatures. “I see something that wants to come into our city to increase economic development,” Wilsen said. “We need to invite this type of school into our community to better our community. The school’s going to correct a water issue worrying some residents on that property. We have a complex next door that is in foreclosure. We talk about our mall being down the tubes — yes, because no one’s using it. We have the chance to bring in 350 families to use the local businesses. I see this as a win-win.”
Three commissioners had reservations about losing tax revenue and commercial-development space on the 6.22-acre site, which has been vacant and had drainage issues. City Commissioner Rusty Johnson said he and City Commissioner Joel Keller were not sure they would approve the exception until they reconsidered the two outparcels along Silver Star Road at the site that would be left for commercial development. “The whole purpose of (keeping) the property commercial is an avenue to get tax dollars out of that property,” Johnson said. “But it’s been vacant there so long, sitting dormant, if they’ll put two commercial buildings in the front, then I’ll support it. “I was kind of hesitant— you can’t make your mind up until you hear the whole theory,” he said. “There’s a couple of areas that probably would have been better for us as tax advantages, but I’ll live with it. Maybe it will
work and people will shop at Winn-Dixie and Publix. There’s a Sylvan Learning Center that can work handin-hand with it.” Commissioner John Grogan’s reservations remained too great for him to approve the exception. “The one and only issue I have is the location,” Grogan said. “Not only do we have to remove the property from the books (tax revenues), but the commercial property that is within 1,000 feet from the school is now limited to what can be built on it. There is plenty of non-commercial property that would fit the school’s needs.” The school will expand from kindergarten through fourth grades to pre-kindergarten through fifth grades upon its relocation. The lot will include a fence and two gates, as well as a brick wall along two sides. Access points include Silver Star Road and the adjacent shopping plaza. Contact Zak Kerr at zkerr@ wotimes.com.

RIGOROUS TESTING by Zak Kerr | Staff Writer
SunRidge Elementary tests new Orange County educational model SunRidge Elementary is one of six Orange County schools testing the Rigor education model for the 2014-2015 school year.
“
PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS Clarcona Elementary Little River Elementary Sand Lake Elementary SunRidge Elementary South Creek Middle Colonial High School
with us again, helping us improve, which we want for everyone: our students, our children, our communities.” In order, the training sessions are: instructional foundations, goals and scales, monitoring, instructional leaders, guiding deeper thinking and facilitating complex learning, Jedrzejak said. “A lot of what we’re doing starts off with the teacher, and, as we are learning, the teachers are going to go through this professional development and training throughout the year,” Jedrzejak said. “We expect, in the classrooms, it’s going to transfer to what the stu-
dents are doing.” Students will work with more complex tasks and have greater autonomy over their learning. Jedrzejak said each segment of learning would involve targets in compliance with new Florida Core standards, set by teachers who learned from Rigor how to state those goals in accessible, student-friendly diction. Teachers rate students’ progress in each lesson on a scale of one to four, he said. “We train the students to understand that one on the scale is a time where they still need help from the teacher,” Jedrzejak said. “Once they start getting between two and three, that’s when they’re starting to take a more active role in the understanding of the material. They address the standard at two; three is where we want them to go — they’re going deeper into the learning. Once they are at four on the scale, they’re synthesizing many skills, and they’re bringing in pieces of learning from another subject or things that they had talked about earlier in the year.” Jedrzejak said truly autonomous learning would occur upon students’ realizations that they could
“
As part of a partnership between Orange County Public Schools and Learning Science Inc., teachers at SunRidge Elementary have undergone training for the Rigor model of education, said Principal Janice Quint. The partnership began last year, with a basis of professional learning that focuses on improving student achievement, Quint said. “The new Florida state standards and the 21st-century skills are very rigorous,” Quint said. “We’re preparing children for a future that may look different than what we see right now, so there’s a lot of rigor in those standards. To make sure we’re preparing students for that rigor, we are in that partnership to help our students and teachers learn and grow professionally.” So far, the staff at SunRidge has undergone three of six Learning Science training sessions, and nine Learning Science coaching days are spaced throughout the year, said Assistant Principal Brett Jedrzejak. “The face-to-face trainings are wonderful,” Quint said. “But, the coaching days to follow up are going to be powerful, because Learning Science will work
Parents often say, ‘This is not the way I learned this.’ I look at some things students do and think, I wouldn’t have done it that way. And that’s OK. What we’re trying to do for each student is find the way that works best.” — Assistant Principal Brett Jedrzejak
advance even further than the standards their teachers set. Teachers motivate students toward these levels of deeper learning through classroom engagement and celebration of goals the students reach, Quint said. “Celebrating students’ success occurs at every level of the scale,” Quint said. “And the children appreciate that: When children have adults proud of them — their parents at home and the teachers at school — it’s motivating.” Although much training remains and the systematic change involved will take time, teachers are getting face-to-face support and coaching that will help them monitor the model and students’ progress, Jedrezejek said. “If Learning Science just gave us all of this information and walked away, it’s like giving students all of the notes, walking out and then expecting them to pass a test sometime in the future,” he said. Instead, teachers engage students with a variety of methods, including software they also can use at home, as well as closed-response SMART Board polls. With SMART Board technology, teachers can ask students to use individual remotes to answer multiple-choice or mathematical questions, he said. Then, the teachers can show the class the overall poll results, to indicate how well the group is
doing together, while keeping each child’s answers private, which allows teachers to check which students need more work in which areas, he said. Quint and Jedrzejak encourage parents to take an active role in the process, as well. “Parents often say, ‘This is not the way I learned this,’” Jedrzejak said. “I look at some things students do and think, I wouldn’t have done it that way. And that’s OK. What we’re trying to do for each student is find the way that works best. That’s why, when they go home to parents, it’s so powerful when they teach it to their parents. It’s showing they do have mastery of this, and then it allows the students to choose which way is the best way.” Because the fruits of Rigor are not quite ripe — students have been back to school hardly two months — feedback on the model has been sparse, though mostly positive, Quint said. “One of the best practices is for children to know their learning goal,” she said. “And, if they know that goal, they know that they can work toward that goal. So, we have to make sure the children understand their learning goals and why they’re learning them. We always tie that in: What is the real-life learning that’s happening? Why is this learning goal important for you? We can tie it into a career and their lives around them.” Contact Zak Kerr at zkerr@wotimes.com.

The district will host another work session Nov. 13. At that session, School Board members will have another opportunity to discuss the draft policy before it will go to a vote during a regular school board meeting.

CFCA clinches playoff berth First-year coach Michael Bonneville’s Eagles will be one of eight teams competing in the Sunshine State Athletic Conference’s playoffs. OVIEDO – Michael Bonneville escaped a Gatorade bath for as long as he could last Friday. But, it was inevitable that Central Florida Christian Academy’s first-year varsity football coach would receive the ceremonial splash following the Eagles’ victorious performance against The Master’s Academy. It was also well-deserved. CFCA’s third season in
the Sunshine State Athletic Conference has generated a playoff berth. The SSAC jumped to 27 teams for the 2014 season, and the Eagles will be one of eight schools competing for the league championship when postseason play begins later this month. Joining the SSAC breathed life into a CFCA program that endured a winless 2011 season while competing in
Class 2A within the Florida High School Athletic Association. The Eagles (6-1) not only continued to build on the school’s single-season win record with last week’s 50-0 victory over TMA at Pennington Field, but also they clinched second place in the Beach Division and a spot in the upcoming Coastal League semifinals.

Hard work from volunteers and parents helps to make the experience of youth football Saturdays a reality for area players and cheerleaders. OCOEE — Most Saturdays, the sun is still rising when they arrive at Bulldog Field. For members of the Ocoee Pop Warner Executive Board — such as league commissioner Sueann Cotanche, football commissioner John Townsend and Steve Coffman, the operations manager for the concession stand — the day starts hours before the first ballcarrier is tackled. “First ones in, last ones out,” said Cotanche, who has been involved with the program for five years. “We get here at 7 a.m. … and if all goes well we could be out of here by 7 p.m. But, if all doesn’t go well, you could be here as late as 8 or 9 p.m.” It is a reality that often goes unnoticed, but for the

WINTER GARDEN — Things weren’t looking too good. Facing the Apopka Blue Darters, a Class 8A program ranked among the top-five programs in Central Florida in polls by both the Orlando Sentinel and BrightHouse Sports Network, Foundation Academy had forced a deciding fifth set in the Oct. 9 contest. But the make-or-break set to 15 didn’t get off to the greatest start for the Lions, who compete in Class 2A, as they found themselves trailing 13-6 with the Blue Darters on the cusp of escaping with a win. Foundation head coach Danny Eleutiza called a timeout, though, and whatever he said must have had a profound effect on his team — especially sisters Megan and Lauren Miller — as they keyed a 10-1 run that elevated the Lions past Apopka for the 3-2 victory (25-23, 18-25, 16-25, 25-10, 16-14). The come-from-behind upset very well could be a turning point for a program that is seeking a berth in its third consecutive FHSAA Class 2A Final. Already, it was the first of four consecutive wins, a streak that came to an end with a tough loss to Lake Highland Prep on Saturday evening. After some significant turnover in the offseason, with several girls from the 2013 team having graduated, this season has been a work in progress for Foundation Academy (16-7). “(They showed) heart — something they haven’t shown me all year,” Eleutiza said, reflecting on the big win. “It’s unbelievable: They came in, and they didn’t want to lose.” With several newcomers on the roster this fall, Eleutiza has relied heavily on the Miller sisters — leaders on the team for the past three seasons. It is a responsibility they have embraced. “It’s one thing (being leaders) we focused on,” said Megan Miller, a se-

cheer team are all unpaid volunteers. They all share the motivation for adding sometimes an additional 20 hours per week to their own schedules — which usually include full-time jobs — centered around the idea of doing it for the kids. And some folks, such as Bulldogs’ Unlimited weight class coach Bobby Clark, have been doing it for the kids for more than a decade. “I got together with a group of my buddies and … we figured we’d start coaching,” said Clark, who has been with Ocoee Pop Warner for 16 years (eight as a head coach). “I enjoy seeing the kids go to the next level, high school. “We’ve got kids at Ocoee (High School); we’ve got them at West Orange,” he said. “They know where they came from — we teach them the fundamentals so they can take it to the next level and that (high school) coach probably has a little easier time with them.” Clark said he and most coaches usually spend roughly six to seven hours per week at practice (teams usually practice three or four days per week) in addition to another four or five hours at home game-planning for the next opponent. Saturdays are full days, as Clark and other coaches help out with various game day operations (Clark manned a pulled-pork sandwich stand for hours on Saturday, before his Bulldogs took on Dr. Phillips in the day’s last game) before and after their own game. Cotanche estimates she puts in about 30 hours per week — on top of her fulltime job. Steve Coffman,
Despite his long day manning the grill and fryer in the concession stand, Operations Manager Steve Coffman is all smiles knowing the profits he helps generate directly benefit the program.
Jerry Middleton, who coaches the Bulldogs’ Junior Midget team, keeps a busy schedule and also is the defensive coordinator for Ocoee High School’s varsity program. who has run the concession stand for Ocoee’s program for the past three years, puts in about 20 hours per week. Coffman’s Saturdays can be long and grueling as he mans the grill and fryer for the concession stand for hours at a time without much of a break. “They need people in here that are going to do the job to make the mon-
ey for the kids, so they can have football, so they can have cheerleading,” Coffman said. “We make a profit (from concessions) to where we put it back in the program. … (In the) three years that I’ve been here, it has been profitable every single year.” Although not every volunteer or coach shares the extent of those workloads,
there are plenty of people who are integral to creating game days — and some don’t have kids in the program currently. “It’s very funny — a lot of people (who) are on the board and are also coaches — a lot of them don’t have children in the program anymore,” Cotanche said. “I think this association is a very tight-knit group in a very positive way.” For many, putting in the time is just a way to give back — and be around the game they love. Jerry Middleton is the defensive coordinator for the Ocoee High School varsity football program but still finds time to coach the Bulldogs’ Junior Midgets team. Part of what anchors the loyal core group of volunteers is the small-town atmosphere that pervades Ocoee home games — where everybody who’s anybody usually can be seen on a Saturday. “There are parents that are at the Tiny Mites game (usually at 9:30 a.m.) (who) will stay for the oldest kids’ game (usually at 4 p.m.),” Clark said. And although the hard work of these volunteers can often be frustrating, and coaches and parents will sometimes bump heads, the overwhelming majority of the folks involved in Ocoee’s program, and programs around the region, do it because — in one way or another — they enjoy it. “You couldn’t do this if you didn’t enjoy it,” Cotanche said. “If you think this is something you have to do, it’s not the right place for you.” Contact Steven Ryzewski at sryzewski@wotimes.com.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
3B
GAME FILM by Steven Ryzewski | Sports Editor
by Steven Ryzewski | Sports Editor
SARAH PASSILLA A sophomore for the West Orange High School swimming and diving program, Sarah Passilla has gotten her varsity career off to quite a start. This season has seen Passilla, a native Floridian, break her own school record in the 100-meter fly from a season ago and, just recently, she set the school record for the 100meter freestyle with a 53.88. What’s it like to break school records — some of which have been standing since the 1980s? It’s actually kind of crazy … being able to see my own hard work pay off when I beat the times and see how old (the records) are. How do you think the season is going for the team? It’s been pretty great — everyone has been running their best times and everyone’s been really excited.
What day during Homecoming Week has been your favorite? I love the dressing up and the school spirit. … The “Wannabe Wednesday (Day),” you can literally be, like, anything you wanted. What’s your favorite class? I started taking ceramics this year, and I didn’t know how I was going to like it, but I really liked it.
What’s your favorite event and why? The 100 (meter) fly. I just always like the stroke — like the feel of it in the water. It’s not too long, it’s still kind of sprinting. It’s fun. Have there been any upperclassmen to whom you have looked up? Definitely. Most of the captains. All of the captains, every year, they’ve got the attitude — they’re just so positive. It’s like, “Let’s go out there and do this but still in a fun way.” Can you tell us a little bit about your schedule? It’s really busy. I obviously have school every day, and I switch back and forth — I sometimes have two-a-days at (Southwest STARS Aquatics), or I go in the morning before. (Then) it’s pretty much go home, do homework and get ready for the next day.
What’s the last book or article you read for leisure? “Looking for Alaska” by John Green. What’s your food of choice after a meet or practice? Usually spaghetti. I go home, and my mom just makes a whole bunch of pasta. What do you like about swimming on a relay team and swimming as an individual, respectively? Relays — I really like that it’s, like, a team thing. You can cheer for people as they’re going. It’s not just you, you have to depend on your teammates. And individually, you know what you have to do. What’s the best advice you’ve gotten in relation to swimming? Just, you’ve got to keep going. Even if you don’t want to go to practice that day. You’ve got to try your best if you want to get better. What’s your favorite television show? “Vampire Diaries.”

WEEK EIGHT PREVIEW Editor’s note: All games on Friday, Oct. 17, unless otherwise noted. THE MASTER’S ACADEMY (2-4, 2-3 DIVISION) AT LEGACY CHARTER (4-2, 3-2 DIVISION), 7 P.M. SCOUTING REPORT: Their records are inverted, but these two Sunshine State Athletic programs share two common bonds — a lack of competitive games and the Eagles nickname. Both The Master’s Academy and Legacy Charter have each played only one game that could be deemed competitive and it came against the same opponent. Faith Christian defeated TMA, 45-42, and fell to Legacy, 61-49. Aside from their contests against Faith Christian, both TMA and Legacy share a lopsided nature to their wins and losses — TMA has won by an average of 43 points and lost by an average of 25.5 while Legacy has won by an average margin of 29.75 points and lost by an average of 36. EXTRA POINT: In the two teams’ only prior meeting, The Master’s Academy scored a 21-6 victory in 2013. FOUNDATION ACADEMY (3-3, 0-0 DISTRICT) AT VICTORY CHRISTIAN (LAKELAND) (5-1, 1-0 DISTRICT), 7 P.M. SCOUTING REPORT: The unique dynamic of playing in a three-team district will once again take center stage for Foundation Academy, as it kicks off play in Class 2A District 4 against Victory Christian. This game was close a season ago, a 20-17 win for the Storm. Victory Christian already has a district victory to its credit and would clinch the championship with a win over the Lions. Foundation, meanwhile, would guarantee itself a playoff spot with a win. EXTRA POINT: Dating back to 2004, Victory Christian has won all five contests against the Lions. SANTA FE CATHOLIC (3-2, 2-2 DIVISION) AT WINDERMERE PREP (5-0, 3-0 DIVISION); 4 P.M., MONDAY SCOUTING REPORT: This contest was moved to Monday, Oct. 20, after the
tragic death of a 17-year-old defensive tackle for Santa Fe Catholic on Sunday. Gil Kromer died of what health officials suspect is bacterial meningitis and his viewing conflicted with this contest’s original scheduling of this Thursday at 4 p.m. Moved to Monday, the game will represent the first time Santa Fe has taken the field for a game in more than two weeks after their game against Seffner Christian on Oct. 10 was postponed because of Kromer’s sudden illness. EXTRA POINT: The game would mark the first meeting between the two programs. DR. PHILLIPS (6-0, 2-0 DISTRICT) AT CYPRESS CREEK (0-7, 0-2 DISTRICT), 7:30 P.M. SCOUTING REPORT: This won’t be pretty. The host Bears have scored just 16 points this season and are allowing an average of 43.9 points per game. The Panthers are averaging 38.2 points per game and, even though they are coming off of a bye week and plenty rested, likely will seize this as an opportunity to get their second- and third-string units some game action. EXTRA POINT: Excluding a forfeiture in 2010, Dr. Phillips has dominated every contest in this series dating back to 2005. OCOEE (1-5, 1-2 DISTRICT) AT WINTER SPRINGS (2-4, 2-1 DISTRICT), 7:30 P.M. SCOUTING REPORT: A pivotal district game, this is a must-win for the Knights, if they would like to remain alive in the Class 7A District 4 race. The Bears, reigning district champs and one of the 2013 season’s biggest surprises, are fresh off of a 38-3 dismantling of Lake Howell and a closely contested 16-10 loss to Oak Ridge. Ocoee, meanwhile, has shown improvement as the season has progressed and will hope it can outscore a Winter Springs offense responsible for just 16.2 points per game this fall. EXTRA POINT: Last season’s contest was a close one, a 16-13 victory for the Bears.
WEEK EIGHT GAME OF THE WEEK WEST ORANGE (7-0, 1-0 DISTRICT) AT OLYMPIA (1-5, 1-0 DISTRICT), 7:30 P.M.
CFCA coach Michael Bonneville has led the Eagles to a playoff berth in 2014, a huge turnaround for a program that just three seasons ago was winless. Photo by Steven Ryzewski
EAGLES / 1B “We’re very excited, and there’s been a lot of hard work done,” Bonneville said. “We’re just thankful for the opportunity, the support of the fans and the commitment of the boys and the coaches. We knew we had a chance (in the Beach Division) if we played our football, which is physical football.” Bonneville said a bye in Week 8 comes at an ideal time for CFCA. “Thank goodness we haven’t had any big injuries all year,” he said. “We do a great job with strength and conditioning with the boys and everything, but we needed this bye week. We want to use our next game like a warm-up game to make sure we’re hitting on all cylinders.” The Eagles host All Saints Academy (3-3) for Homecoming/Senior Night at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24, in the regular-season finale. The SSAC playoffs — also dubbed The Florida Bowl Series — kick off Oct. 31, with CFCA playing the Coastal League Orange Division champion. The Florida Bowl, matching the Coastal and Coral league champions, is scheduled for Nov. 15 on The Master’s Academy campus. CFCA has won three consecutive games since a turnover-plagued loss to Beach Division champion Orlando Christian Prep in Week 4. The Eagles amassed 495 total yards last Friday against TMA, while the defense registered six sacks and recovered two fumbles en route to its second shutout of the season. Bonneville installed a single-wing offense this season with impressive results thus far. Freshman quarterback Gehrig Chambless has 11 rushing touchdowns through seven games after running for 152 yards and two scores against The Master’s Academy. Sophomore Bradley Dos Santos, who earned All-SSAC second-team honors at wide receiver in 2013, also upped his season touchdown total
to 16 after reaching the end zone versus TMA on 26- and 52-yard receptions and an 87-yard run. “Actually, we were thinking about going to this offense in spring, but we just thought it was too short a time period to throw in for three weeks. But we always had a plan to go to this offense,” Bonneville said. “Putting Bradley in a position where he can be an athlete and get the football in his hands, it almost reminds you a little bit of (former Apopka Blue Darter and Michigan Wolverine) Jeremy Gallon in the single wing years ago.” Bonneville played high school football at Dr. Phillips — he still holds the Panther record for longest punt return for a touchdown (95 yards vs. Oviedo in 1997) — and the way CFCA is playing defense this year would certainly appeal to defensive-minded DP head coach Rodney Wells. TMA was kept off the scoreboard despite a favorable average starting field position (own 41-yard line) for its opening nine drives. “If you talk about Coach Wells — we played highschool ball together — I always go to him in the summer to get some pointers of what he does,” Bonneville said. “But, we’ve kind of stuck to what fits our style on defense.” TMA faced a fourthand-11 play at the CFCA 15-yard line with just over five minutes left in the second quarter, but Chambless made a nice sideline tackle on quarterback Evan Lowe after a 10-yard gain. Four plays later, Dos Santos gained 87 of his 169 rushing yards to give the Eagles a 28-0 lead. Chambless’ 38-yard touchdown run and Dos Santos’ two-point run made the score 36-0 and started a running clock with 7:58 remaining in the third quarter. Judah Stone added a 36-yard TD run with 9:40 left and, following a blocked punt deep in TMA territory, Tyler Laylor scored on a 1-yard run as CFCA completed its Beach Division schedule with a 5-1 record.
DISTRICT RACES TAKING SHAPE With just four weeks left in the FHSAA regular season, district races are have begun to take shape as area programs prepare for the most important stretch of the season. Here are the standings of districts that include local programs as of the conclusion of Week Seven (note: all districts, as well as all four divisions in the Sunshine State Athletic Conference, get two playoff berths):
CLASS 8A DISTRICT 4
West Orange: 1-0 (7-0 overall) Olympia: 1-0 (1-5 overall) Apopka: 1-1 (5-2 overall) Evans: 0-2 (1-6 overall) West Orange likely takes the district. Olympia is alive but would need to upset either the Warriors or Apopka for a surprise playoff berth.
CLASS 8A DISTRICT 5
Dr. Phillips: 2-0 (6-0 overall) Freedom: 1-0 (3-3 overall) Colonial: 1-1 (2-4 overall) Boone: 0-1 (2-4 overall) Cypress Creek: 0-2 (0-7 overall) Note: Barring something unforeseen, Panthers should cruise to the title with Freedom, Boone and Colonial fighting for runner-up.
CLASS 7A DISTRICT 4
Oak Ridge: 4-0 (6-1 overall)* Wekiva: 2-1 (4-2 overall) Winter Springs: 2-1 (2-4 overall) East River: 2-2 (3-4 overall) Ocoee: 1-2 (1-5 overall) Lake Howell: 1-3 (1-6 overall) East Ridge: 0-3 (0-6 overall) Oak Ridge likely takes the district, but the runner-up spot is up for grabs, with Ocoee still in play.
CLASS 2A DISTRICT 4
Victory Christian: 1-0 (5-1 overall) Foundation Academy: 0-0 (3-3 overall) Agape Christian: 0-1 (0-6 overall) With Agape having a down year, the Lions are in prime position for a runner-up playoff berth, at the least.
SUNSHINE STATE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE Coastal League, Beach Division Orlando Christian Prep: 6-0 (6-0 overall)** CFCA: 5-1 (6-1 overall)* Legacy Charter: 3-2 (4-2 overall) Faith Christian: 2-3 (2-4 overall) TMA: 2-3 (2-4 overall) Merritt Island Christian: 1-4 (1-5 overall) International Community: 0-6 (0-6 overall)
CORAL LEAGUE, BAY DIVISION
Windermere Prep: 3-0 (5-0 overall) Seffner Christian: 2-1 (3-2 overall) Santa Fe Catholic: 2-1 (3-2 overall) Keswick Christian: 2-2 (3-3 overall) Saint Stephen’s: 2-3 (3-3 overall) Bishop McLaughlin: 0-4 (0-6 overall) Lake Mary Prep and All Saints are provisional members and cannot qualify for playoffs this season. Despite all of its dominance, Windermere Prep still has work to do to secure a playoff spot and the division title. ** — Clinched district/division championship * — Clinched playoff berth
WHAT WE LEARNED: WEEK SEVEN Steven Ryzewski
Olympia quarterback Khalyn Strickland tossed three touchdowns for the Titans in a 55-33 loss to Lake Mary in Week Seven. The scoring output was an improvement Olympia will have to build upon to hope to contend with the high-powered West Orange offense.
Backyard Bowl takes center stage A season ago, the West Orange Warriors ended a seven-year skid against the Olympia Titans when they defeated the Titans 43-0. The rivalry game this season has emerged as a battle for first place in Class 8A District 4 — both teams come in with a 1-0 district record. West Orange will be heavily favored and, on paper, this matchup doesn’t bode well for Olympia. The Warriors, with their depth of skill-position players, are averaging 45.3 points per game, while the Titans offense has been limited, averaging just 14.6 points per contest.
A bright spot for Olympia, though, is the 33 points it scored a week ago in defeat against the Lake Mary Rams. The Titans will need to translate whatever worked a week ago to this week’s matchup if they hope to give West Orange a run. Added storylines to this rivalry matchup include former Titans head coach Bob Head’s return to Olympia leading the Warriors — something he will share with former Titans running back Dexter Williams, who transferred over to West Orange in the offseason.
by Steven Ryzewski | Sports Editor OAK RIDGE 22, OCOEE 10 The Knights led 10-0 early, thanks to a field goal and a touchdown run by Jarquavious Graham. The offense went flat after that, and although the defense held the visiting Pioneers scoreless in the second half, Ocoee (1-5, 1-2 in Class 7A District 4) could not muster a comeback and fell, 22-10. Afterward, coach Dale Salapa acknowledged his team is improving and that the defense did well in limiting Oak Ridge’s many playmakers. WEST ORANGE 63, CYPRESS CREEK 6 It took the Warriors roughly five minutes of play in the first quarter to go up 35-0 over the Bears. A rout from the beginning, West Orange scored on its first two offensive plays from scrimmage and, on the ensuing kickoff that followed the second touchdown, forced a fumble that Sherman Harp would return for a touchdown.
Steven Ryzewski
Legacy Charter quarterback Colton Liddell, seen here during the Eagles’ preseason contest against Seven Rivers Christian, tallied five total touchdowns in leading Legacy to a 48-6 victory over Lake Mary Prep. Warriors second- and third-string players saw some meaningful playing time in this one. West Orange began pulling starters during the first quarter and eventually improved to 7-0 on the season. The final tally of 63
points is a school-record for the Warriors. LEGACY CHARTER 48, LAKE MARY PREP 6 The Eagles’ Colton Liddell ran for three touchdowns and tossed two more as Legacy Charter (4-
2) ran away with this one early en route to a big win. The Eagles, which led 34-6 at the half, also got big-time production out of Hilton Lamprecht (two touchdowns) and senior linebacker Dillan Hudson, who finished the contest with 14 tackles (12 solo). THURSDAY’S GAME: LAKE MARY 55, OLYMPIA 33 Taking on one of the top teams in Class 8A in the state, the Olympia Titans fought hard but came up short against Lake Mary, 55-33. The Titans (1-5) showed some significant improvement on offense, though, putting up their largest scoring total of the season. Quarterback Khalyn Strickland tossed three touchdown passes, while running back Lherrisson Fontillesse rushed for two scores, also. OTHER SCORES CFCA 50, The Master’s Academy 0 Bye week — Foundation Academy (3-3), Windermere Prep (5-0), Dr. Phillips (6-0)
