Football Friday Night Oct. 1

Central will battle the Seminole Osceola Warriors, another tough team to take on for the Bears. This game against the Warriors may be the game the Bears need to define their field strategies. The Warriors are excelling in offense/defense plays.

Hernando will travel to The Villages Charter. According to the stats on MaxPreps, the Buffaloes are relying on their quarterback for the win. After Sept. 24th game against Nature Coast Tech, Hernando should be well-prepared to face The Villages Charter.

Weeki Wachee will play another tough team, Zephyrhills. The Hornets are pushing to put the numbers on the scoreboard and playing these high stat teams isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It will build mental and physical endurance.

Springstead will welcome Belleview to their home turf. This match-up may be what Springstead needs. Belleview’s offense could be their strength as defense is for Springstead.  So can Belleview run fast enough before Springstead’s defense gains any yardage?

Nature Coast Tech will host Wesley Chapel. Wesley Chapel hasn’t played as many games as NCT. As of 9/21, they are 1-1.

Volleyball 

Central will match up with Springstead on Sept. 28th at the home court. The Lady Bears played Springstead during a preseason lineup. Central has the opportunity to review match footage and refine their court strategies. Central travels to Thursday night on Sept. 30th.

Hernando has a back-to-back game schedule for the week of Sept. 27th. The Lady Leopards welcome Lecanto on Sept. 28th and travel to Cypress Lakes on Wednesday, Sept. 29th. Hernando played both these teams during the preseason schedule and being familiar opponents, reviewing game footage can be a good advantage for the Lady Leopards.

Weeki Wachee takes on three games during the week of Sept. 27th. Starting the week off at Bishop McLaughlin on Monday, Sept. 27th, and welcoming Crystal River Tuesday and Lecanto on Thursday.

Springstead, the Lady Eagles, travel to Central on Tuesday, Sept. 28th, and Citrus on Sept. 30th, and off to another volleyball tournament. Springstead begins the tournament on October 1 when they take on Northeast. Shorecrest Prep in St. Petersburg is hosting the tournament.

Nature Coast Tech has two upcoming matches that may challenge the Lady Sharks on the court. The girls will travel to Cypress Lakes on Sept. 28th and Mitchell on Sept. 30th. These two games could be motivators to carry them through the rest of the season if they come out on top.
