Finishing 6-4, this is a program that had chance to accomplish some amazing things – with wins over Lake Mary (34-7), Windermere (62-0), state power Apopka (15-14), Ocoee (31-0) and Timber Creek (26-0) in the playoffs.
Even the losses were games that the Warriors had their chances. In setbacks to Orlando Boone (31-24), Lake Brantley (28-21), Orlando Jones (38-21) and the rematch with Apopka in the playoffs (18-9), this is a team that showed that they can stand toe-toe with anyone, and they more than showed it.
