The Winter Park Wildcats (1-5) scored two unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough to catch the Evans Trojans on Oct. 12, as they fell 35-19.

Now they’ll hope to regroup against an East River (2-4) team that’s also struggling to find offense. But the Falcons’ defense may give Winter Park quarterback Asiantii Woulard an opportunity to air out the football, having given up plenty of long distance passing plays so far this season.

After last week’s loss, they’ll be looking for more offense.

Their game against the Evans Trojans last week began with a wild Trojans’ scoring run that would easily outpace Winter Park until the fourth quarter, eventually stretching the lead to blowout range before the Wildcats finally took advantage.

At that point the game seemed out of reach for the Wildcats, with the momentum leading to a big win for Evans. But Woulard found the end zone a final time as the Wildcats attempted a final quarter rally. But it was too little too late.

The homecoming loss gave Winter Park a 1-5 record, while Evans improved to 5-1. The Cats will return home for a showdown against East River at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Edgewater

A wild final quarter would split the difference between an unlikely Edgewater win and a would-be victory for Dr. Phillips, but heading into the final quarter of the game Oct. 12, it was anything but decided.

The Panthers (7-0) would prevail 21-14 after taking an attempt to avoid a safety turned into a touchdown return.

Early in the game the Panthers were up 14-0 before the Eagles (2-4) finally recovered, led by quarterback J.B. Woodman who found Waynedriko Smith en route to the end zone in the second quarter. Unusually absent from the end zone was running back Jon Altman, as the Eagles’ running game was stifled by a keen Panthers defense.

The Eagles will be looking to turn around from that tough loss against an equally dangerous Oviedo (5-1) on Thursday. The Lions are fresh off a 42-22 blitzing of East River. That game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. at Edgewater.
