Game of the Week 03.12.15

Each week, Sports Editor Steven Ryzewski (on Twitter @StevenR_WOTO) will choose a “can’t-miss” Game of the Week, as well as note some honorable mentions. 

West Orange at Apopka (baseball), 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 13

In some ways, choosing any game between the Warriors and Blue Darters is a bit of a cop-out on my part because it lacks any creativity. I can live with that, because every time these two teams play in nearly any sport, it has that genuine rivalry atmosphere.

The two ballclubs will have already played this week on Wednesday, after the time of press, meaning this game will be the finale of the two-game district series — and that whoever loses on Wednesday will be in sore need of a win, because no one wants to start off 0-2 in 8A-3 action before playing nationally ranked Olympia.

Honorable mentions: Apopka at West Orange (softball), 7 p.m., Tuesday, March 17; Olympia at Ocoee (softball), 4 p.m. Friday, March 13; Dr. Phillips at West Orange (boys lacrosse), 7:30 p.m. Friday March 13
