Nunn, Knox lead Poinciana Eagles past Panthers, 28-0 in Spring Football

Ernest Nunn scored three touchdowns and Akeem Knox rushed for 102 yards and a score as the Poinciana Eagles defeated the Gateway Panthers, 28-0, on Friday night.

It was an impressive showing on both sides of the ball for the Eagles, as they also pitched a shutout on defense – recording five quarterback sacks and eight tackles-forloss; while forcing three turnovers. “I really felt that our defense had a chance to be as good as last fall’s and I still feel that way,”

Poinciana coach Randy Beeken said. “We lost a lot of playmakers on offense and our quarterback situation is certainly unsettled. But tonight we played a back-up running back at quarterback and he threw two touchdown passes. So overall it was a good performance.”

Knox figures to play a key role in Poinciana’s offense next fall. After playing two seasons as a backup behind the Swint brothers and several other talented backs at Osceola High, Knox transferred to Poinciana before the spring semester started and is already penciled in as the Eagles featured back this spring.

“Akeem left, Akeem right, Akeem up the middle, you are going to see a lot of him in the fall,” Beeken said. “He is a tremendous talent and will be the focal point of our offense this year.” Knox’s 102 yards came on just 15 carries and he sat out the last quarter and a half with tightness in his hamstring.

Nunn, who had a solid sophomore season with 385 receiving yards and five touchdowns, looks to be an emerging star for the Eagles. He scored the Poinciana’s first touchdown in the second quarter – taking a reverse and racing 60 yards down the right sideline for a score. In the second half, he beat Gateway deep on a 40-yard touchdown pass and then split the secondary in the fourth quarter for a 26-yard score.

Wilgance Nezius, a backup running back last year, played the entire game at quarterback. “While the starting job at quarterback has not been decided, Wilgance did a great job in playing a new position. Regardless of what position he ends up at, he will be an important part of our team this year,” Beeken said.

Orlando Health: Why Women Get Insomnia and How To Get Better Sleep

Insomnia is a common condition, but women have more trouble sleeping than men. It’s estimated that one in every four women get insomnia, compared with one in every five men. A combination of physical and mental factors account for the difference, from menopause to pregnancy to depression. That’s why it’s especially important for women to practice good “sleep hygiene” to help ensure they get a good night of rest to prepare for the day ahead.

What Interferes with Women’s Sleep?

Multiple health factors in both men and women can lead to insomnia, including pulmonary and cardiac disorders, hypertension and chronic pain. Medications for those conditions may contribute to sleep disorders.

Sleep problems also are more common for both men and women as we age. But for older women, menopause makes insomnia even more likely. Hot flashes and night sweats can wake women up and then make it difficult to go back to sleep. These symptoms can last months or years.

KUA tips for safeguarding your home and family during the 2023 Hurricane Season

The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane season is nearly here! The hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30 each year and can be a scary time for some. Remember these simple tips from Kissimmee Utility Authority to keep safe before, during and after the storm.

Before the Hurricane

KUA recommends having most of your family’s emergency preparations completed in advance. By the time a storm watch or warning is issued for your area, there shouldn’t be much left to prepare.

Always check food, water, first aid, batteries, pet and other stored supplies to ensure they’re fresh and ready to use. Fill your car with gas and check the oil and tires. If there’s a chance you’ll have to evacuate, put anything you may need in your car.

INJURY LAW

Draper Law: Even minor car accidents can cause back injuries, don’t wait to seek medical attention

Car accidents can happen in an instant. Even though these crashes happen quickly, recovery is not always quick and easy. A car accident can cause a variety of injuries, including back injuries. Even a minor crash can cause back injuries because the back tends to absorb most of the impact in an accident.

If you have suffered a back injury, seek prompt medical treatment. These injuries can be hard to treat, and sometimes can lead to secondary medical issues, such as hypotension, osteoporosis, pressure ulcers, sleep apnea, bowel problems, urinary tract infections, sexual dysfunction, and more. Draper Law Office understands how serious a back injury can be. These injuries can be long-lasting and costly to treat. Schedule a consultation by filling out the online form or by calling their office at (407) 846.0075.

FAMILY LAW

Draper Law: Showing positive parenting

When parents of minor children divorce, it can be several years before their involvement with the court will end. Ideally, both parties will abide by their thoughtfully created parenting agreement and make changes which support their children’s wellbeing. However, as time passes and circumstances change, it is not uncommon for parents to disagree about what is in the best interest of their kids. A parent may also claim the other does not have good parenting abilities and seek to make legal changes to the parenting plan. In this situation, the other parent may have to provide evidence of their positive parenting skills.

The Draper Law Office has attorneys who are experienced with helping clients with child custody and parenting time issues and can help. Call 407.846.0075 today or go to DraperLawOffice.com to set up your free, no-obligation consultation in one of their three locations: St. Cloud, Kissimmee, and Orlando.

HEALTH

Orlando Health: common cold - or something more serious?

You feel it coming on: itchy eyes, runny nose, a tickle in your throat. Over the next few days, your symptoms progress to include sneezing, congestion, fatigue, cough and a sore throat. Despite your best efforts, it looks like you’ve caught the common cold, and if you’re not attentive it could get worse.

HOW COMMON IS THE COLD?

Colds are a minor viral infection that account for more doctor visits than any other illness. Adults, on average, catch two to four colds a year — kids even more — with most cases reported between September and May.

Highly contagious, colds spread much like the flu, by droplets of fluid or inhaled. The most common cause, rhinovirus, accounts for more than 40 percent of reported cases, usually last less than 10 days and can be treated with symptom relief medications and rest.

If left unchecked however, a cold can progress to more serious illnesses. And sneezing, congestion and sore throat also can be symptoms of other ailments.

• Think it might be the flu? Although both viral in nature, colds differ from the flu, which ramps up faster and includes more severe symptoms such as weakness, chills and body aches.

• Think it might be allergies? Allergies can share symptoms with the common cold, but allergies are noncontagious responses of your immune system to an allergen, often seasonal and controllable by antihistamines.

OTHER ILLNESSES CAN STEM FROM A COLD

Fighting any minor ailment weakens your immune system, leaving you vulnerable to other illnesses.
