Winter Park Wildcats looking to right season

A four-game winning streak to open the season has become a two-game losing streak on the gridiron with Winter Park looking to right a tailspin.

The Wildcats (4-2) fell to Timber Creek (4-1) by a score of 28-21 on Oct. 3 after letting speedster running back Jacques Patrick race for 226 yards on 26 carries to propel a high-powered run game that would total 271 yards.

Despite only attempting six passes, Timber Creek quarterback Preston Samoden threw for 117 yards, including two 45-yard bombs to Chris Womick, both of which made it to the end zone.

The Wildcats face a dangerous Hagerty team that’s 3-2 but came within a field goal of making that 4-1 last week against Orange City University. But they’ll have a bye week in between, with the game kicking off at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 17 at Showalter Field.

The Eagles continue to be full of surprises with a 38-31 win over Leesburg bringing their record to 3-2 and giving them something they haven’t had since Oct. 5, 2012: a winning streak.

Cortez Pembleton would connect with Buck Watkins twice in the game for TD passes to help lead the team to victory.

The Eagles travel to Timber Creek for a 7:30 p.m. showdown Friday night.
