After a brief one-day delay due to Hurricane Nicole, the High School Football playoffs got underway Saturday for both Apopka schools.

Apopka and Wekiva were scheduled to begin their playoff seasons on Friday, but they will both have to wait an extra day because of Nicole's approach.

Based on the storm's forecast and potential impacts on Orange County, all schools will be closed on Thursday, November 10, and Friday, November 11.

The Mustangs finished the season at 5-5, while the Blue Darters fell to 7-3. But now, Apopka and Wekiva begin their playoff seasons... which makes both teams 0-0.

Junior placekicker Hayden Kosicki drilled a 34-yard field goal on the last play of the game to propel the Apopka Blue Darters to a 24-23 win over Seminole High to win the Class 4M District 2 title.

For the fifth time this season, the Apopka Blue Darters spotted its opponent a lead and then rallied to win - this time against the Evans Trojans 23-12. 

The Apopka Blue Darters continued their winning ways last Friday with a 21-17 come-from-behind victory over Lake Mary. The Wekiva Mustangs, however, could not rally.

The Orange County Public School District announced that all its schools would be closed on Monday, while the Orange County Government announced it would resume trash collection on Monday.
