Dr. Phillips bests Ocoee to improve to 6-3

Sports

Following a 31-21 loss to Olympia Oct. 13, Dr. Phillips High School has strung together two big wins in two weeks.

Last week, the Panthers got the best of West Orange, 10-3, to reclaim the Ol’ Orange Crate trophy. And last night, they outlasted a fiery Ocoee squad (4-6), 27-19, to improve to 6-3 and 3-1 in Class 4M, District 5.

DP took a 20-6 lead into halftime on Ocoee’s Senior Night. And even though the Panthers only managed seven points in the second half, it was enough to come out on top.

DP is scheduled to travel to Jones Friday, Nov. 3.
