This was always one of my favorite rivalries to cover. There was never a boring game between these two schools, especially when the games were played in Lecanto. On a side note, I always have held coach Ron Allan in a very high regard. He was a great motivator, teacher, coach and mentor to the student athletes he had a chance to mold.

Citrus Sophomore Katie Steelfox scored 23 points, leading the Lady ‘Canes to a 61-45 victory over the Lecanto Panthers Thursday night.
“I really thought it would be closer tonight, Lecanto played much better in the second half,” said Steelfox.
Lecanto scored first, with a lay-up by Erin Bailey in the opening minute of the game, the only time the Panthers would lead the entire night.
Citrus answered with 7 straight unanswered points to go ahead, putting them in the lead, 7-2. The streak started with a turnaround jumper by Julia Lambeck down low, and a Kristin Berger jumper. Steelfox took a pass from Alycia LePage, and hit a 3 pointer with 4:59 left in the quarter.

Eric Cox was a tremendous athlete. I had the chance to cover him playing three sports, basketball, baseball and football. While Cox was dominate on the mound in this game, baseball was not his best sport, in my opinion.

Led by Eric Cox and his stellar pitching performance, and a plethora of errors, the Dunnellon High school Tigers downed the Ocala West Port Wolfpack 13-3 Friday night at Dunnellon.
Cox, who went four innings, gave up 5 hits and allowed only three runs for his first victory. Cox also did his part at the plate going 2-3 with an RBI.
“This wasn’t my best game tonight,” said Cox who is 1-0 on the mound this year with 2 saves.
West Port pitcher Bobby Kissane did not fair as well as his counter part. Kissane, who was starting in his first varsity game, walked five of the first six batters he faced and gave up two runs in 1/3 of an inning. James Holley came on in relief and got Gus Glancy to ground into a double play.
