Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps national rankings, Apopka should expect quite the challenge on Friday. Wekiva will go up against Apopka in continuing playoff action. The stakes are high as both teams are all in, each fighting to extend its postseason success.
Wekiva might be getting used to good results now that the team has six wins in a row. They took down West Orange 16-0. Junior Supreme Richardson and junior Larry Preston were among the main playmakers for Wekiva as the former picked up 168 yards on the ground on 26 carries and the latter accumulated 140 passing yards and punched in 1 rushing TD. If you haven't heard Preston's name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in their past five games.
Meanwhile, Apopka earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last week. They came out on top against Oviedo by a score of 35-28.
Everything came up roses for Wekiva against Apopka the last time the two teams met as the squad secured a 35-0 win. Will Wekiva repeat their success, or does Apopka have a better game plan this time around ? We'll find out soon enough.
