WEEK 10 GAME OF THE WEEK: Agape Christian (0-8, 0-1 district) at Foundation Academy (4-4, 0-1 district), 7 p.m.

On Nov. 14, the winner of this game will hit the road for a state playoff game against the district champion of Class 2A District 3, while the loser of this contest will play its final snap on Nov. 7.

That’s a roundabout way of saying Friday night’s Halloween showdown is a pretty big deal.

The Foundation Academy Lions are fresh off an impressive win over Trinity Prep — a win that has been overshadowed in the days since by what happened afterward. Following the Lions’ 24-20 win over the Saints, an altercation ensued, during which it is alleged that a Foundation Academy assistant coach struck a Trinity Prep player. Investigations are being conducted by law enforcement and by the school, internally, but in the meantime, coach Brad Lord and his players have an all-or-nothing game for which to prepare.

“We’re totally looking forward toward playing Agape,” Lord said on Monday when asked about his team’s focus with off-the-field issues swirling. “We know that if we win, then we are in the state playoffs.”

The Lions should be in good shape if they can keep the Saints’ lackluster offense, averaging just 5.2 points per game, about where it’s been all season. In Agape’s last five games it has scored just 12 points.

A win for the Lions would go a ways toward avenging a 22-14 loss to the Saints in 2013 — and, more importantly, keep them on the field beyond the first week of November.

Other Week 10 contests:

Evans (1-7, 0-2 district) at West Orange (8-0, 2-0 district), 7:30 p.m.; Thursday

Scouting report: Moved up to Oct. 30, this contest has no impact beyond pride for these two teams. West Orange already has locked up the district, with a tiebreaker over whoever wins the Apopka-Olympia showdown for runner-up, and, at 0-2 in district play, the Trojans will not be participating in this year’s playoffs.

Warriors coach Bob Head, though, wants a perfect district record and a perfect regular season. 

West Orange will be playing its eighth and final home game in the regular season for this one — meaning the next time the Warriors take the field at Raymond Screws Stadium, it will be in the Class 8A State Playoffs.

Extra point: West Orange posted a 50-14 win in 2013.

Dr. Phillips (8-0, 3-0 district) at Freedom (4-4, 2-1 district), 7:30 p.m.

Scouting report: The Class 8A District 5 race could get super interesting — we’re talking tiebreaker-interesting — if the Patriots are able to upset the Panthers, and the Boone Braves defeat Colonial Oct. 31. 

That would leave Class 8A District 5 with three teams at 3-1 in district play, with overlapping victories over one another (earlier in the season, Dr. Phillips defeated Boone, and Boone defeated Freedom).

The stronger likelihood, though, is that the top-ranked Class 8A team in the state takes another step toward an undefeated regular season and beats up on the Patriots, who give up about as many points as they score. Meanwhile, Dr. Phillips has allowed just 66 points in eight games this fall, meaning scoring on the Panthers will prove a tall task in this big time matchup.

Extra point: Dr. Phillips cruised in 2013, 42-14.

Ocoee (1-7, 1-4 district) at East Ridge (0-8, 0-5 district), 7:30 p.m.

Scouting report: It’s Knights versus Knights in this final district matchup for these respective programs, and, for Ocoee, this Halloween contest will represent its best chance of getting to two wins this fall.

With West Orange looming in Week 11, Ocoee will want to take advantage of this game against a program that has been reeling since a shakeup in the coaching staff two seasons back. East Ridge has scored just 26 points this season — a good sign for an Ocoee defense that has shown potential.

Extra point: Ocoee handled East Ridge with relative ease a season ago, 44-7.

Olympia (1-6, 1-1 district) at Apopka (5-4, 1-1 district), 7:30 p.m.

Scouting report: Not much about this matchup favors the Titans, but all bets are off in a win-and-you’re-in district contest for the runner-up playoff spot. If you throw out the wins and losses, though, you’re still left with the questions of whether Olympia can score enough points to keep this one interesting — the Titans have scored just 109 points all season and registered more than 20 points just once.

Extra point: The Blue Darters cruised to a 45-17 win in 2013, but the Titans won in 2012.

Legacy Charter (5-3) at Southwest Florida Christian (4-3), 4 p.m.

Scouting report: SWFC is formidable on offense, averaging 29.4 points per game, but has been less so on defense, allowing 23.9.

Legacy’s defense will need to focus on containing the Kings’ rushing attack of Terrance De Avila, averaging 8 yards per carry and 113.6 yards per game on the ground, and Tristian Upton — averaging 10.1 yards per carry and 93.9 yards per contest.

Extra point: The contest marks the first-ever meeting between these two programs.
