WINTER PARK
As Winter Park quarterback Chris Chomic glided up the left sideline for a 44-yard touchdown with 1:13 leftgroans rose from the Apopka sideline.
The Blue Darters' defense had been close to their second shutout.
"This was my last homecoming," Chomic said. "I didn't want to be shut out in my last homecoming."
In the end, Apopka's second-half offense -- led by quarterback Jeremy Gallon -- and its defense were too much. The Blue Darters (6-1) beat the Wildcats (2-4), 30-6, with a 15-point fourth quarter.
"It was the offensive line," Gallon said. "If it weren't for the blocks they got me I wouldn't have had those."
Gallon rushed for 179 yards with three touchdowns. He ran in one two-point conversion and threw another one to Jeremy Rouse.
But it took some time for the Blue Darters' offense to click. Apopka scored eight points in the first half.
"It was an ugly game," Apopka Coach Rick Darlington said. "We've got to play a lot better in our last three games."
The Blue Darters defense forced the Wildcats into four three-and-out stops and forced a fumble.
