From a series of meetings with the community in the Winter Garden City Commission Chambers, Toole Design Group has garnered local feedback about South Dillard Street, beginning Oct. 6 and ending Nov. 19.

At that final meeting, engineer Ian Lockwood led the presentation of renderings for the planned design of this onemile segment connecting State Road 50 to Plant Street.

Several major changes to the street will be paved in brick: a gateway corridor from State Road 50, a center lane and a lead-in to downtown Winter Garden at Plant Street, architect Ken Ray said.

Permeable pavers, bioswales, porous asphalt, rain gardens, trees, planting beds and street parking will be among improvements to the infrastructure in various locations, planner Cindy Zerger SEE DILLARD PAGE 4

Historic Ocoee Elementary plaque found The plaque from the 1922 schoolhouse is now part of the outer wall of Ocoee Elementary.

BY ZAK KERR STAFF WRITER OCOEE Many schoolhouses

have come and gone in this area’s history, and District 3 Ocoee Commissioner Rusty Johnson recently helped to unite a piece of that school history with the present — literally.

Johnson had been safely keeping the dedicative plaque from the 1922 Ocoee Elementary building for more than 20 years in his house, until current Ocoee Elementary and school district officials were ready to rededicate it at the present site.

“From years ago, the building was torn down, and one of our building guys that worked for us, Buddy Elmore, who … was in Public Works, picked it up and saved it for me,” Johnson said. “I’ve kept it all these years. I had it sitting on a flat table in my garage.”

That large building was three or four stories of old-time brick and where Johnson’s high-school graduation was, he said. It was a frequently used building, espe-

cially its auditorium for formal events and even karaoke, Johnson said, especially with multiple expansions added to it.

“With the trees and everything, it was a beautiful place,” Johnson said. “The parents and the community built the stadium themselves — it was huge.”

Today’s Ocoee Elementary has a different look, but engineers helped to piece together the cracked plaque and mount it on the outer wall, right in line with

the plaque from the school built in 1978 and the current school’s plaque from 2014.

“He was telling me he had it in his house, and I’ve been doing a history of all the schools in my area,” Orange County School Board Member Christine Moore said. “So I told Rusty, ‘I want it out of your closet,’ and so that was how we did it.”

Three city residents spoke at the meeting to express their wishes that city officials would improve communication and move forward with long-promised development. Two of them directed their dissatisfaction at City Manager Robert Frank, who was absent.

“The average citizen shouldn’t have to sit here to know what ... plans are,” Martha LopezAnderson said in a request for better broadcasting of important information on Ocoee.

She also said Ocoee has developed a reputation of being stagnant, passed to go elsewhere, and questioned what the commission and Frank had been doing to change that.

Mayor John Grogan said city officials had been able to accomplish more in the last six months than in years. He agreed with Lopez-Anderson that frui-

tion, target dates and budget money would be necessary to meet the commission’s growth goals for the city.

District 2 Commissioner Rosemary Wilsen reiterated her point from prior meetings that taxpayers must see some sort of hike if they want good development to come, but nobody wants to hear that.

L o p e z -A n d e r s o n and Michelle Greco said Frank holds too much power in Ocoee’s city manager-led government.

“Our commission needs to take back the city from a man who makes six figures and doesn’t even live in the city,” Greco said. “He speaks to residents like they’re gum on a shoe.”

District 4 Commissioner Joel Keller defended Frank’s performance, saying his 10 years as city manager included leading Ocoee through the recession, during which Ocoee did not have to lay off employees.

As for a city manager-led government, District 3 Commissioner Rusty Johnson said a vote of Ocoee citizens determined that style in 1992 or 1996, and a similar vote would be necessary to alter that.

Wilsen said retired Mayor S. Scott Vandergrift had wanted to switch to a mayor-led government but she would not support that until she encountered a mayor capable of managing a city.

Troops Executive Director Bill Ivey said. “What defines Bobby Withers is a fine sense of caring and service.”

Withers said he had gone to Afghanistan to fight not only against bad forces but on behalf of good ones.

“There are plenty of good people in Afghanistan, and that’s what brought me there,” he said. “Fighting for justice, for people who couldn’t fight for themselves.”

access during emergencies in mind, Ocoee city commissioners agreed with city safety personnel that one universal system for accessing gated communities would be the way to go.

The commission passed an ordinance mandating a switch to the Click to Enter system at its Nov. 17 meeting.

With reference to the resolution the commission passed at its July 21 meeting, Click to Enter and Knox Box key access systems are mandatory for any future Ocoee gated communities and — by July 1, 2016 — all gated Ocoee communities must complete the switch to Click to Enter.

The president of an Ocoee homeowners association commended the uniformity for citizens’ safety and asked about reimbursements. A fund of $60,000 in the 2015-16 city budget will assist gated communities in switching to Click to Enter technology. The reimbursement for each gate will not exceed $1,818 and involves a form from city staff with a need to show expenses on a receipt.

Eligible reimbursements are limited to the device, installation and programming, which only an authorized installer is allowed to do. Reimbursement requests must reach the city by Sept. 15, 2016.

The city fire chief must inspect each system to deem all operational.

Ocoee S.R. 50 expansion slated for 2017 finish

WHO’S INVOLVED? Lane Construction Corporation is the primary contractor for this work, with CDM Smith Inc. providing the construction engineering inspection, Horton said.

“This project involves a great deal of coordination between local and utility agencies, as well as adjacent property owners,” Horton said. “Thus several other entitles are involved, mainly from a utilities standpoint.”

Those entities include: Ocoee Public Works and Utilities, AT&T, Bright House, CenturyLink, Duke Energy, Lake Apopka Natural Gas District, Level 3 Communications, Verizon Wireless, Tower Cloud, Central Florida Expressway Authority, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise and LYNX.

FDOT officials said their contract to work from West Oaks Mall to State Road 429 runs through May 10, 2017.

ZAK KERR STAFF WRITER OCOEE FDOT construction began

in May on State Road 50 for an expansion of almost all of the road’s stretch through Ocoee territory, a distance officials estimate at 2.56 miles.

The timetable for crews to widen the road from four to six lanes — and provide necessary piping, wiring and other services throughout the process — started at about two years, with plans for the project to be complete by summer 2017.

“The project started with temporary widening to the north in Phase 1, in order to construct the new drainage and underground utilities on the south side for widening in Phase 2,” FDOT Public Information Specialist Jen Horton said. “Phase 2 includes the widening of the eastbound portion of the road and the construction of the eastbound bridge. In Phase 3, traffic will be moved to the south side of the roadway to construct the permanent drainage, roadway widening and westbound bridge.

Then (in) Phase 4, traffic will be put into final configuration with six lanes — three in each direction — for final paving and striping.”

Zak Kerr

Digging is necessary to replace pipes and wires running underground.

Challenges during this $37.6 million project have included environmental concerns, temporary drainage and working in wet conditions near lakes Bennet and Lotta, she said.

“This is overcome with erosion control measures, temporary sheet pile walls and strategic dewatering, which are all standard practices,” Horton said.

This project can cause some additional congestion in the meantime and might have some adverse effects on Ocoee businesses along the road. But the main goal is to alleviate excess traffic, improve resident and business access and shorten

WEST ORANGE TIMES &

travel time throughout Ocoee’s portion of the S.R. 50 corridor, Horton said.

“Other improvements include drainage, signing and pavement markings, signalization, milling and resurfacing, twin bridge construction at Lake Bennet, addition of retention ponds and bicycle and pedestrian facilities,” she said.

Based on proximity to the lakes and potential flooding, some grades will have been raised by the end of the project, officials said.

UNDER INVESTIGATION Per Lane Construction reports, on the morning of Oct. 16 on this project, worker Guillermo Solis Jr., 25, of Seville, died in his sixth year with the company. The incident is still under investigation.

The design team wants to remove the physical and psychological barrier effect the road creates between its west — toward downtown — and its east, away from downtown.

“We met with several Realtors … and they told us that the market for properties on the east side of the street is different than properties on the west side,” said engineer Ian Lockwood. “If you’re going to want to leverage your address in Winter Garden … it’s a whole lot easier to say you’re connected to downtown if you’re on the west side of Dillard. If you’re on the east side, there’s a five-lane chasm between your … property and the downtown.”

This divide expands beyond Dillard Street, most notably to East Plant Street, which starkly contrasts with West Plant Street — downtown.

With all of Dillard Street covered and West Plant Street thriving, perhaps one of the next projects for local leaders will take a look eastward as prosperity is projected to spread that way.

said. Parking will be along the west side south of Story Road and on the east side north of Story Road, he said. Small utilities will be wired underground with the ability to remove some power poles along the street, she said.

Once the team had finished its presentation, Winter Garden Wheel Works owner Dennis Jones offered his thoughts on the proposed layout.

“I had some real concerns at the beginning, especially on the amount of traffic on Dillard, that this was really going to be able to accept the flow of traffic and not cause backup,” Jones said.

“You’ve assured me that this is something that we can work with.

It looks great, and I don’t have any concerns any longer.”

Some attendees had concerns that alterations could affect the feel of the street to the point of driving out old businesses. But with slower traffic on Dillard Street, drivers will have more time to look at the businesses, which should increase potential visits across the board, Lockwood said.

“We want to support what’s there today, and we want to enable people who’d like to redevelop their property to do it,” Lockwood said.

That decrease in speed will not make Dillard Street as slow as West Plant Street, but the speed limit will be slower in the name of pedestrian and cyclist safety.

Walkers and cyclists also will

benefit from the shift to three vehicle lanes from five in several ways: They will have two fewer traffic lanes to cross, many more crosswalks and a wide trail dedicated to such movement with connectivity to the West Orange Trail. This also should increase potential business trips, according to statistics, Lockwood said.

As for roundabouts at Plant Street, Smith Street and Story Road, the team is still considering designs based on the space available, but Lockwood assured residents the roundabouts would be able to support any trucks moving through.

City Manager Mike Bollhoefer said past redevelopments, especially West Plant Street, ultimately improved the area, but all things take time. Lockwood offered Edgewater Drive as the closest comparison by traffic volume, calling this plan an investment.

Funding, design development, final utility design and permitting should be the stages completed through 2017, with 2018 as the goal for implementation, Lockwood said.

Building heritage

Winter Garden Mayor John Rees, center, presents a proclamation declaring Larry Cappleman a Heritage Builder in the city.

Lori Gibson, president of the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation, shared Larry Cappleman’s accomplishments in a program last week.

The Winter Garden Heritage Foundation honored Larry Cappleman for his contributions to the city.

WINTER GARDEN

COMMUNITY EDITOR

Larry Cappleman, a Winter Garden native and third-generation resident and businessman, was honored Thursday, Nov. 19, as a Heritage Builder by the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation.

Mayor John Rees read and presented a proclamation to Cappleman, who attended the ceremony with his wife, two sons and several grandchildren.

Rees, also a lifelong resident, said, “We are blessed to have Larry Cappleman here in our community.”

After accepting the proclamation, Cappleman said: “This is quite an honor. It’s a privilege to be part of something as special as Winter Garden.”

Cappleman’s grandfather, William Cappleman, and William’s brother, Thurlow, arrived in Winter Garden in 1912 to open a Plant Street grocery store. William and Ethel had two sons, Franklin and Eugene. After both served in World War II, Franklin opened Cappleman Insurance Agency in 1946. Gene helped his father run the grocery store until 1953, when

they sold the store to Johnny Griffin.

Gene (Larry’s father) then entered the insurance business with Franklin. Larry joined his father and uncle in the insurance company in 1972 and took ownership upon the death of Uncle Franklin. He sold the business to American Phoenix Corporation in 1995 and went to work for the company in Orlando for two years before returning to Winter Garden as an insurance salesperson for Hillcrest in 1997. Larry and Kevin McEwen bought Hillcrest in 1999.

He has served on numerous boards, including several banks, the Roper YMCA, Main Street Winter Garden; the advisory committee of the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency, which provided a large part of the funding for the redesign of downtown; and the Winter Garden Merchant Association.

He also was instrumental in

the construction of the YMCA in West Orange County. He got Mary V. Tanner to donate the land for the Y. This land was later swapped with a parcel owned by Bert Roper so the new Y building would be on the road that was traveled by many from Windermere to Winter Garden.

Battery. An officer apprehended a walking suspect matching a description from a domestic dispute. The suspect said he had argued with his wife. He said his wife had plopped on the bed to ask for money while he slept, which he gave after she tugged and pushed him. She bought an alcoholic energy drink and then returned with belligerent behavior, slashing his bicycle tires so he could not leave, he said. She told him she would call the police if he left, he said.

She told officers he had hit her in the head with a chair and punched her in the left side of the face. She said he had hit her in the left leg and side with a stool and then threw it at her, also trying to hit her with a faucet broken off the kitchen sink. He threw the bike at her while she huddled in fear, calling her names and smacking her face, she said. Officers found no evidence of fresh injuries on either person, and she said more than once, “This time I’m going to tell you the truth.” No arrests or charges were filed, so the husband took his belongings and then left via a ride from his wife’s sister.

AMY QUESINBERRY RHODE COMMUNITY EDITOR

Four words have gotten Leigh Ann Dyal through the last 10 years: friends, faith, family and forgiveness.

It was a decade ago — Oct. 10, 2005 — when her world fell apart. Her husband, who she was in the process of divorcing, shot and killed their two children, Elyse, 10, and Ian, 8, before ending his own life.

Within weeks, friends and neighbors had raised enough money to have statues created and placed near the Roper YMCA soccer field, a place where Dyal’s son and daughter spent so much time. There are individual statues of the two in soccer poses positioned on either side of the gazebo between the ball field and the swimming pool; another statue depicts them sitting together on a small bench, engrossed in a book.

The soccer fields were dedicated in memory of the two, as well.

On a recent Saturday morning, Dyal, with her family and friends, held a rededication ceremony of her children’s memorials. Ian’s statue had succumbed to Florida’s heat and

toppled to the ground, so it was cleaned up and returned to its original location.

Dyal brought a dozen or so soccer trophies Ian and Elyse had received through the years, lining them up under the gazebo near colorful balloons.

In addressing the small

crowd, she said knows she will one day see them again because of her faith in God — and she even has forgiven the man who took them from her.

Arr, matey! Cub Scouts brave waves at Raingutter Regatta

C

ub Scout Pack 320 took to the high seas for an afternoon of racing for its annual Raingutter Regatta Nov. 14 at Keene’s Crossing Elementary School.

Scouts and their families enjoyed pizza, crafts and a boat race. Scouts and siblings raced boats across a gutter by blowing air through a straw. Before the regatta, the scouts had a Scouting for Food event, during which they collected donated food in the Independence community.

Cali (ID #A320629) has been in the shelter close to a month. She was surrendered because of her owner’s housing restrictions. She is housebroken, crate-trained and friendly with strangers and children. She’s been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped so she’s ready to roll with her new family for just $55.

Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Fresh from Florida Orange County Public Schools Food and Nutrition Services once again is serving up fresh fall seasonal produce.

Schools are receiving more than 1,460 cases of fresh from Florida satsumas, which will be served for breakfast and lunch throughout the district.

Satsumas are one of the sweetest citrus varieties. They have the same look and feel of a tangerine or mandarin orange with a much sweeter taste. Orange County Public Schools receives their seasonal satsumas from premier farmers in North Florida, Mack and Alicia Glass, of Cherokee Ranch in Jackson County.

“Satsuma’s don’t ship well so we are lucky that they are grown in Florida,” said Lora Gilbert, senior director of the OCPS Food and Nutrition Services. “Our school district is very happy to support the Florida farmers.”

The district purchased more than 500,000 pounds of citrus this year for students in the form of tangelos, oranges, tangerines and satsumas.

Cub Scout Pack 922 Ocoee Cub Scout Pack 922 collected more than 300 bags of food during its Scouting for Food service project this month.

The scouts traveled to 12 different neighborhoods Nov. 7 to place plastic bags on doors.

One week later, they returned to collect 305 bags of nonperishable foods to donated to the Christian Service Center in Ocoee.

The pack wants to thank the Ocoee residents for their donations.

“We are very proud of these boys and want to thank our local community for supporting us in this worthy service project,” said Marian Adams, Pack 922 committee chair.

RAVE OF THE WEEK

Cornelia (Paige Pedersen, right) received a visit from three energetic teenagers (Bailey Gavulic, Meghan Amundson and Cecilia Dixon) before heading out to her new Broadway show. “Opening Night,” Olympia High School.

t is an uncommon opportunity to witness a work of art you know will stick with you in a profound way. The audience realized it had come across such an moment when four haunting silhouettes appeared at the end of Ken Rush’s original one-act play “The Forgotten Ones,” performed by his West Orange High School students as the final one-act of this year’s District 5 Thespians festival.

Teen thespians shine on stage CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13

The community depicted in the play is a Southern Baptist congregation in the 1930s — not the most likely group to welcome any outsiders. When Sara Harper (Jaime Sharp) — a black schoolteacher — and her four disabled students show up looking for somewhere to belong, they aren’t immediately invited into open arms.

But each of those students has a story to tell. Chester (Aidan Wamsley) was born without arms, but losing his mother as a toddler was a bigger challenge. Bertie May (Deanna Hubbard) can’t hear, but only seeing her friend drown as a child was traumatic enough.

The tension in the audience was tangible when a girl from the town, played by Grace Gustino, fell into a creek. A stark and perfectly timed switch to blue lighting, watery sound effects and Gustino’s slow, rolling movements put us in the creek with her until she surfaced to gasp for air.

When she went under again, the audience held its breath with her.

Rupert (Asher Adams), one of Sara’s students, jumped in and saved the drowning girl — but it cost him his life.

In a closing monologue by Matt Guernier, the audience learned the town’s attitude had shifted after the incident at the creek.

Sara became the school’s teacher, and her students had been embraced after Rupert’s heroic act, although they were each tak-

en by sickness or tragedy to join him before reaching old age.

Who are the unlikely heroes in our lives? Who are the ones whose hearts can make a difference?

They’re all around us, but they’re too often forgotten.

Rush’s inspiration was his wife, Sara, a teacher for students with special needs.

“Her gift to them was that she loved and cared for each and every one like they were her own children,” Rush wrote in his playwright commentary. “Sara Harper is Sara Rush.”

Rush wanted to write a play that would highlight the specific talents of his current students.

They rose to the occasion — some by realistically portraying mentally and physically disabled children of a bygone era, others by embracing the intolerant mentality of uppity school board members, others still by designing complex sets and executing seamless changes.

“Watching the characters develop, striving to meet (Rush’s) expectation and his vision for this play to come to life is fascinating,” stage manager Katie Householder said. “The actors have taken the opportunity that comes with doing an original play to develop the character based on their strengths, without preconceived notions.”

FROM THE WINTER GARDEN HERITAGE FOUNDATION THROWBACK THURSDAY

FROM THE ARCHIVES A poster produced by E.M. Tanner advertising turkeys for sale during the holidays.

The family property on Avalon Road shared the neighborhood with lush orange groves, vegetable fields and cottages built during the 1920s land boom. Written on the reverse of this poster: “Mr. Tanner raised turkeys in the 1950s out at Avalon southwest of Winter Garden. He gave away as many as he sold probably!”

Raymond G. Dickson, General Electric dealer, has leased the west storeroom in the new Chicone block on Plant Street in Winter Garden. Dickson said, “G.E. days are here again and in my new quarters we will display all of the General Electric development.”

50 years ago

Windermere Mayor-Town Manager Dean Kinzey appointed a committee of three, including himself, to lay the foundation for employing a full-time town manager. Charles Green and Carolyn Greer completed the committee.

Winter Garden Mayor-elect Ray Spears was sworn in last Thursday evening by out-going mayor C.H. Johnson. After swearing in Spears as new mayor, Johnson said: “I’d like to thank those people who voted for me. … I know I am leaving the office in good hands.”

NOV. 23, 1951 Did you drive “America’s favorite V-8” in the 1950s?

An advertisement in the Nov. 23, 1951, issue of Winter Garden Times touted the “Fordomatic Drive” in new Ford automobiles, and you could buy one at Winter Garden Ford Inc., at 236 E. Plant St. According to Winter Garden Heritage Foundation archives, that area has also been home to Oscar Bryan Ford, Winter Garden Motor Company, Coffey-Girvin Ford and Rogers-Brownlee Ford.

That strip of land is now residential.

The Winter Garden Heritage Foundation, which seeks to preserve our heritage and architecture while creating new cultural experiences, is celebrating its third decade with the debut of its new History Research and Education Center.

About two years ago, just behind a highway overpass in Winter Garden, Josh Taylor and his family launched Do Good Farm, a self-sustaining system that they hope will serve as an example for agricultural families in povertystricken nations.

“There’s no reason why there should be hunger on the planet,” Taylor said. “There’s a way to grow food, and we just need to teach people how to do it.”

At Do Good Farm, each part of the system is sustained by another part of the system. The goal is to eliminate outside input, which decreases not only cost, but also pollution and stress on the environment. The systems that the farm uses are easily adaptable to any location.

“You could plop it in the middle of Africa, and it would continue to produce food,” Taylor said.

Currently, food produced at Do Good Farm is used at House Blend Cafe in Ocoee. But Taylor is ready for the farm to become more active and successful as a tool for both training and food production. He is looking for volunteers who would like to serve in any capacity, from the occasional helper to the committed intern.

Eventually, volunteers will have the opportunity to go abroad and help farmers set up a similar sustainable system on their land.

“The goal is to get away from shipping boxes of rice and beans over and over again,” Taylor said. “The resources are right there in their backyard — they just don’t know how to (use them).”

SPORTS CARDINALS FLY HIGH The Ocoee Cardinals have two football teams at 13-0 after competing at the American Youth Football Southeast Regional Championships recently, with one of those teams advancing to AYF Nationals Dec. 5 in Osceola County.

The Cardinals eighthgrade team went undefeated and won the Western Division Championship, CFYFL Future Bowl and Southeast Regional Championship under the leadership of Julian Pittman.

Ocoee’s seventh-grade team also went 13-0, placing first in the Western Division, first in the Future Bowl and second at the Southeast Regional Championships. Demetrius Boney is the head coach.

The Cardinals’ 10U team also had a strong season and advanced to regionals after a 7-1 season.

BULLDOGS ADVANCE The Ocoee Bulldogs Unlimited football team is heading to Disney.

The Bulldogs Unlimited team, ages 14 and under, defeated Umatilla in the Southeast Regional Championship Nov. 21, 6-0. With the victory, Ocoee advances to the Pop Warner Super Bowl beginning Dec. 6at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

The Bulldogs are the last remaining Pop Warner team from the coverage area.

W.O. ALUM EARNS HONOR West Orange alum Quinton Forrest, a freshman basketball player at Bethune-Cookman University, was named Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week Nov. 16.

Since the Warriors played Apopka in the regular season Oct. 2 and shocked the football community in Central Florida by limiting the Blue Darters to just 3 points, West Orange’s defensive unit has allowed an average of 9.3 points per game through its playoff victory over Apopka Nov. 20 (seven games).

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

SPONSORED BY MARK’S FLOORS

Ciara Thompson Ciara Thompson, a senior on the West Orange girls basketball team, has committed and signed a National Letter of Intent to play her college basketball at UCF. However, she said she is focused on this season, where she is a leader for the Warriors after averaging 16.6 points per game as a junior.

What are you looking forward to most this season?

Improving as a team on offense and defense and basically winning a championship — (a) district championship and then states.

Do you have personal goals for the season?

(To) become a leader, a better person and just attack the basket more.

You committed and signed an NLI to play at UCF. What are you looking forward to there?

I’m looking forward to winning a conference championship and getting better. Bettering the program, showing other hometown kids that you can stay home to (play for) a good team.

What about your game would you like to improve this season to prepare you for college?

I want to improve shooting off the dribble and knocking more 3s out.

OrangeObserver.com

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2015

When did you start playing basketball, and what got you into playing?

I started around second grade. Playing outside with a bunch of boys. I always beat them outside, so I just kept playing.

What makes you want to come back each year?

Just knowing that I’m good at it and (I) want to be better.

It’ll help me go far in life, education-wise and everything. I feel like it keeps me on track.

What are your hopes for the team this year aside from winning a championship?

Coming together. You can learn other people’s personality, and I don’t know, becoming a family.

Is there any game in particular you’re looking forward to this season?

I’m looking forward to playing Jones. The other girl is committed to UCF from there — Cornelia Wright. I’m looking forward to competing against her. They have a really good team. I’ve been playing with her since fifth or sixth grade.

What’s your favorite subject in school and why?

I like math because it gets difficult but then you got it. I like difficult stuff.

If you could go on vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

I think Hawaii. (It has) a lot of water and parks I see online.

Would you rather watch a good movie or read a good book?

A movie. I don’t really get into reading that much.

— JENNIFER NESSLAR

Warriors fortunate to have first-class rival

STEVEN RYZEWSKI SIDELINE SCENE WINTER GARDEN The West Orange Warriors hardly could contain their jubilation.

In the moments after the Warriors defeated Apopka in the second round of the FHSAA Class 8A State Playoffs, teammates hugged and high-fived — jumping up and down while hollering in celebration.

For members of the Apopka Blue Darters, walking back to the visitor’s sideline after the two teams shook hands, it must have stung in ways only fellow athletes could understand.

It might be lost on those young men in the moment, but the excitement the Warriors displayed was a subconscious sign of respect — a sign that the moment was bigger than the fact that the victory had advanced the program deeper into the state playoffs than it had ever gone before.

No, that celebration was all about West Orange beating the Blue Darters for the first time in the state playoffs, almost a year to the day after Apopka embarrassed the Warriors on their home field — that celebration was about West Orange knocking off a team whose seniors had played in three consecutive state championship games, winning two.

It was a cathartic moment for players such as Eddie McDoom and Naquan Renalds, who remember losing to Apopka as far back as their Pop Warner days playing for the

West Orange Wildcats.

Make no mistake: The Warriors’ excitement is one the sincerest forms of (a begrudging) respect.

And, therein lies a greater truth for both programs: How lucky are the Warriors and the Blue Darters to have a first class rivalry in the state of Florida? How lucky are the two programs in west and northwest Orange County to have an authentic, tradition-filled rivalry?

Sure, it has not always been that way.

I remember interviewing a player for Apopka in 2012, when I was a freelancer covering high-school sports. The Blue Darters had just beat up on the Warriors, and I asked about the rivalry. He (rightly so) corrected me: There is no rivalry if one team wins every game.

Luckily, that has changed.

The Warriors have now won three of the past four meetings, and it is safe to say that at least since coach Bob Head arrived at West Orange, the rivalry is legitimate — and how great for both programs? Having a rival you despise — within reason,

hopefully — is one of the great experiences of being an athlete and a fan.

For the Warriors, that rival is based on geographic proximity and the two schools’ history as two of the older programs in Orange County.

But it’s also more than that — Apopka has won state championships, and West Orange has not. Over the past few years, the Blue Darters have been the class of Central Florida, if not the entire state — a role the Warriors are dying to assume.

Now, after losing three of the past four meetings, it will be the Blue Darters who are chomping at the bit to defeat the Warriors next fall. These two programs have a game on their schedule every season guaranteed to pack and sell out the home team’s stadium — something of which other athletic directors can only dream.

So, here’s to many more exciting meetings between Apopka and West Orange in the years to come.

Someone will win, someone will lose — but the real winner will always be the fans who get to experience the very best in high-school football in Florida.

wo late free throws by James Hogan led the Ocoee Knights (2-1) to a 74-72 victory over Evans Nov. 18. Senior Damerit Brown led the way for Ocoee, scoring 16 points. Elie Cadet added 15 points and Hogan, in just his second varsity contest after playing for the junior varsity team last winter, chipped in 10 points — including 6 points in the final quarter. The contest was the home opener for the Knights and the debut of new coach John “Sarge” Siers. It also was the first return of former coach Rob Gordon, who is the coach at Evans.

come down with (a jump ball) ... what’s running through your head is, ‘Who wants this ball more?’”

Bollinger said. “Luckily no one else wanted (that ball) as bad as me.”

West Orange kicker Colby Adamson had a huge night for the Warriors, converting on two field goals (from 25 yards in the first half and from 35 yards in the second half) while also performing well on punts and kickoffs.

Warriors coach Bob Head praised his team’s resilience after the game for fighting back against an Apopka team that had advanced to the Class 8A State Championship Game in each of the previous three seasons.

“We just looked at each other and said, ‘We’ve got to come up big again,’” Head said of the moments after the Blue Darters had taken the lead.

West Orange will travel to Jacksonville Nov. 27 to take on Mandarin (12-0) in the Class 8A, Region 1 Championship. The victor will take on the winner of the Region 2 Championship between Dr. Phillips and Osceola.

by the Blue Darters’ dogged determination to keep within striking distance — hit its peak.

Fortunately, it didn’t last long.

Less than a minute after Apopka scored, quarterback Woody Barrett hooked up with wide receiver Naquan Renalds for a 61-yard touchdown — Renalds’ second touchdown reception of the night and arguably the biggest of his young career. As Renalds charged down the field and into the end zone, the Warriors charged into the third round of the state playoffs for the first time in program history with a 21-14 victory.

“I dropped a ball (earlier), and I knew I had to make it up,” Renalds said. “Woody Barrett throwing (me) touchdowns — I love that dude, I love my team.”

Although Renalds recorded the game-winning touchdown, it was the Warriors’ (11-1) defense that shined against Apopka for a second time this fall — including two stops in the game’s waning moments punctuated by a gamesealing interception by safety Ben Bollinger. After allowing just three points in a regular-season victory over the Blue Darters, West Orange’s defense limited Apopka to just 14 points on Friday.

For Bollinger, picking off a pass to seal a huge victory is becoming something of a habit this fall — his interception against Dr. Phillips back on Sept. 11 cemented that win, also. So, when a pass hung up in the air and created a jump ball situation, it wasn’t entirely surprising that the senior safety was the one to come down with it.

Foundation ends strong season in regional final The Lions fell in a close 12-7 game Nov. 20 to rival Victory Christian, last year’s Class 2A state champion.

JENNIFER NESSLAR STAFF WRITER WINTER GARDEN

In the waning moments of the regional championship Nov. 20, Foundation Academy neared the end zone trailing Victory Christian, 12-7.

The end zone at Walker Field represented more than just a touchdown — it represented a trip to the state semifinals and what would have been the program’s first-ever regional championship.

Those hopes were shattered, though, when a defender for Victory intercepted a pass, gaining possession and sealing the victory. It was a heartbreaking turn of events for the Lions, considering Foundation led the game until fourth quarter.

“We’re young and we made mistakes,” said Coach Brad Lord.

“That’s it.”

“I knew it was going to be a war when we played again. We’re a little upset we didn’t go further than we did, but we had a great season.”

— Coach Brad Lord

Foundation and Victory met earlier this season Oct. 16, when the Lions defeated the Storm 34-28 in overtime. It was a particularly important win for Foundation as it locked up the Lions’ first-ever district title and came against the state champions from 2014.

With all that said, Lord and his staff knew beating a good team twice was going to be difficult.

“I knew it was going to be a war when we played again,” Lord said.

“We’re a little upset we didn’t go further than we did but we had a great season.”

The 2015 season began with a four-game losing streak.

Things turned around quickly for Foundation after its coaching staff made adjustments to the offense. The team, which concluded the season with a 7-5 record, won seven games in a row leading up to Friday’s loss to the Storm.

The Lions went further in the playoffs than any other football team in the Winter Garden-based school’s history, also winning their first-ever playoff game.

“What can I say?” Lord said to his players after the loss, as the sounds of the Victory celebration grew louder in the background.

“You gave me the greatest year I’ve ever had as a coach. I love you guys. …

“I’m not going to sugarcoat it,” he said later. “We made too many mistakes. But you played hard.

Foundation Academy struggled on offense against Victory.

And you fought.”

After the coaches spoke, junior Jaquane Patterson got in front of his team.

“I’m proud of you all. We started off 0 and 4,” he said. “But we brought it together every day. We became one as a family.”

Jennifer Nesslar

The majority of the players on Foundation’s roster will return next year, so the team hopes to return strong and make a deeper run in the playoffs.

hoops for the private school in south Winter Garden were busy putting together the program’s best season ever.

Foundation Academy finished the 2015 football campaign with a 7-5 record, having recorded its first district championship and first playoff victory before seeing its season draw to a close in a heartbreaking 12-7 loss to Victory Christian Nov. 20.

Now, after eating, sleeping and breathing football since August, those six Lions will jump headfirst into the 2015-16 basketball season with a game scheduled for Nov. 24 against Circle Christian, after the time of publication.

“It’s going to be a little rough (at first), but after a couple days of practice, I think I’ll be ready,” Patterson, a junior, said. “When we get home, our dad (Ed Loos — an assistant coach for the basketball team) always helps us run through the plays and helps us prepare for when we’re ready to come back to basketball.”

At a small school such as Foundation — the Lions compete in Class 2A (of eight) in football — crossover between sports is a way of life. So, when success comes for the football program, managing the overlap between the fall and winter sports can become a bit of a challenge.

“It is an exciting problem,” Athletic Director David Baginski said. “The biggest thing we have is coaches who are experienced and who know how to handle it.

Our basketball coach (Al Peterson) does things like schedule district games late in the season.

… He sets himself up for success.

Our football coach (Brad Lord) understands the importance of kids that are crossover athletes.”

Peterson might appreciate that crossover and the scheduling conflicts it entails better than most. A multi-sport athlete as a youth, Peterson actually played football in college at nearby UCF. The coach, in his fourth year leading the basketball program for the Lions, said he has developed a strategy for handling the first few weeks each year when he is shorthanded.

“You approach it very cautiously,” Peterson said. “You can’t really install too much — you’ve really got to simplify a lot of things with the guys you do have.

“Scheduling helps, too,” he said. “If you are able to schedule for that, it allows you to be able to miss those guys for a little bit and not have three and four and five games go by without those guys.”

Although football players are not allowed to practice with the basketball team until the season comes to close — with the exception of a group of players Lord released to Peterson who do not play much for the football team — Peterson still expects them to do some basic training during downtime, things such as dribbling and getting shots up, and Lord said his kids’ playing multiple sports is a strength for his program.

“I’m from the Northeast — I played hockey, baseball and football (growing up),” said Lord, who is also an assistant coach for the school’s baseball team. “We never had ACL injuries back then, because our bodies were fully fit and the kids weren’t getting a

constant pounding. … (Kids who specialize in one sport are) working the same muscle all the time. … I love that my kids play separate sports.”

Lord’s and Peterson’s attitudes are especially important in making Baginski’s life a little easier.

With Foundation’s enrollment size, having crossover is essential to fielding teams in some sports and staying competitive in others.

“If we take a hard line on things, we run in danger of getting kids not committing to certain sports,” Baginski said. “Then our teams won’t fill up. … So we have to be flexible, and it takes good communication between coaches and staffs.”

Of the football players returning to the hardwood, Konrie Brown is among the most important to the basketball team’s prospects this winter. Brown said that, although he has been focused on football and helping to lead the Lions to new heights in that arena, he also has made sure to check in with teammates on the basketball team to see how they’re doing and get any important information he might have missed.

And, although someone such as Eddie Loos actually prefers basketball, he said he was in no hurry to return to his favorite sport before Foundation’s final football game last Friday.

“When I’m on a team that is on a winning streak, I feel like that’s more important than transitioning to the beginning of another season,” Loos said.
