A big volleyball win for Osceola against a ranked state-power and a first-ever win over St. Cloud by Poinciana highlighted a busy week of action in Osceola County Sports, but all will take a back-seat this week’s action, when the Kowboys will square off against St. Cloud for the 101st time in one of the nation’s longest-running football rivalries.
Here is a look around the county in high school sports: VOLLEYBALL

St. Cloud Bulldogs to Host Osceola Kowboys
In 101st Edition of “The Game”
The highly anticipated 101st edition of the longstanding rivalry between the St. Cloud Bulldogs and the Osceola Kowboys is set to take place this Friday night at Thomas Gannerelli Field in St. Cloud. Known simply as “The Game,” this historic matchup has been a cornerstone of Osceola County football since the teams first clashed in 1925.
Long before Gateway High opened in 1986, there were just two high schools in Osceola County.
For decades, the C-31 Canal that connects the East Lake Tohopekaliga to Lake Tohopekaliga was the dividing point, with students living on the west side of the canal attending Osceola High (founded 1887) and the students residing on the east side going to St. Cloud High (established 1909).

Southall came up huge in the first set, recording eight kills in leading the Kowboys to a six-point win. Osceola was ahead comfortably for most of the set, but a 4-0 Harmony mini-run cut the gap to five at 21-16.

Poinciana Eagles Soar Under New Head Coach
Taron Mallard
Historically, Poinciana has had little success on the gridiron. In fact, the school has had just two non-long seasons since it opened 33 years ago. But things appear to be changing—and in a hurry. Under first-year head coach Taron Mallard, Poinciana football is rocketing on an upward trajectory as the Eagles are 3-0 for the first time in school history and more importantly few believe that success to be a fluke or related to Poinciana’s Independent Status, which would allow them build a winning record by scheduling weaker opponents.

Conquer Late-Night Cravings: Expert Tips from Orlando Health on Planning Ahead
If you’re a snacker, chances are you’ve found yourself at the fridge or pantry late in the evening, looking for something to munch on that won’t derail the goals you work hard on in daylight hours.
Dietitians will tell you there are at least two problems with late-night eating: quantity and quality. You are likely to consume more calories than you mean to. And studies show you’re less likely to choose nutrient-dense, healthy foods as a late-night snack. Over time that can impair blood-sugar control and lead to weight gain. And if you’re eating close to bedtime, heartburn could be another problem.

Law: Which vehicles are more likely to be involved in serious or fatal accidents?
Sadly, serious and fatal accidents take place on a daily basis in Central Florida. These crashes can happen in a number of ways and can be caused by not following traffic laws, inexperience, intoxication, distracted driving, fatigue, and medical issues.
Statistics show that fatal car accidents can often occur based on the type of vehicle. You may think that sports cars are most likely to be in crashes due to their speed and performance. However, according to the NHTSA, it’s the everyday cars, trucks, and SUVs on the roadways that are involved more frequently in serious or even deadly accidents, with sedans and pickup trucks accounting for more than three-quarters of fatal accidents. If you drive out on the roadways, here’s what you need to know about which vehicles have been involved in many of the crashes.
