Orlando Edgewater Flying High – Again

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The big question in College Park on Thursday night surrounding the Orlando Jones and Orlando Edgewater matchup is the way 2022 ended for the Eagles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After reeling off 12 straight wins and looking very much like a team that would play in the inaugural 3M state title game, the unexpected happened in the third round of the state playoffs. Something that nobody saw coming.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When the Eagles were ambushed by Orlando Jones in convincing manner, 42-13, the season came to an end, and dashed head coach <strong>Cameron Duke</strong> and his teams' dreams of reaching the state finals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones went on to lose the following week to Homestead, and Edgewater headed to the off season with the idea of making sure the same didn't happen the following year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Well, the following year is here and Thursday night, an important district contest will take place as the 3-0 Eagles will face a Jones team that comes in 1-2, but still very dangerous.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With not only the loss in the state playoffs as motivation, Edgewater also recalls the regular season meeting, a 14-13 thriller, that put them in the district driver's seat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While the matchup still means everything, the Eagles know that a win on Thursday may only be part of the job.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ORLANDO EDGEWATER EAGLES (3M, 3-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Orlando Bishop Moore, W 24-19</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Clearwater Academy International, W 15-14</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Winter Garden West Orange, W 27-13</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>9/14 - Orlando Jones</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>9/22 – at Apopka</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>9/29 – Apopka Wekiva</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10/6 – at Orlando Timber Creek</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10/13 – Ocoee</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10/20 – at Winter Garden Horizon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>11/3 – at Orlando Boone</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>CLASS OF 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cornelious Bass, OLB, 6-2, 230 – 32.
