Lakeland football turns showdown with First Academy into a rout
LAKELAND — Lakeland’s goal for the regular season was to clinch a spot in the Open Division. The Dreadnaughts, holding onto the No. 8 spot entering the game, likely clinched a top-eight finish, and made a loud statement in the process. It was as close to a near-perfect game against an elite opponent that Lakeland could expect as the the Dreadnaughts finished year another game with a running clock. Lakeland’s defense dominated from the start and the Dreadnaughts moved the ball at will en route to a 35-0 victory over Orlando First Academy on Friday night at Bryant Stadium. “Lakeland’s here to stay,” senior defensive lineman Santana Harvey said. “We’re back. It was just another day at the office, and we have to keep working, keep playing and keep doing out job at pactice.” Lakeland won’t know officially if it made the Open Division until the playoff brackets are announced at 5 p.m. on Friday on the FHSAA’s YouTube channel. The performance was a fruition of what Lakeland was building toward all year, beginning with its season-opener against Venice. “We kind of schedule for moments like this,” Frazier said. When we played Venice, that was like a misery stick for

Stock up, stock down for Kentucky after win over UCF
The final exhibition game of the year for Kentucky basketball was a thriller, or as much of a thriller as an exhibition game can be. A buzzer-beater sent the game to overtime, where the Wildcats dominated UCF and won 90-76. Overall, the jury remains out with many fans as to how this season will go. Many see the defensive prowess they've shown, the solid three-point shooting, and the players still returning from injury, and think the sky is the limit. Some, however, see the slow starts, the turnovers, and the blown lead on Wednesday. Even critics have to admit that there have been some positives. Against UCF, there were some very good performances. Unfortunately, there were also plenty of things that Mark Pope will want to work on as the regular season gets ready to begin. Exhibition wins don't count, but it's nice to get them anyway. The victory over UCF wasn't as impressive as fans would have liked, but there was some good to be found. Here is whose stock is up, and whose is down after the game. Stock up: Mason Williams So far, Williams hasn't looked like a freshman. He has looked like Kentucky 's best guard
