Here's a roundup, including scores and notes, of all of the Week 10 high school football action in West Orange and Southwest Orange from Thursday, Oct. 24.

Week 10

THURSDAY, OCT. 24

Dr. Phillips (7-1), 40

Celebration (2-7), 9

Highlights: The Dr. Phillips Panthers bounced back after a tough Week 9 loss against Edgewater by going on the road to Celebration High and claiming a big Class 7A, District 9 win over the Storm.

With DP's Week 8 game against East Ridge High postponed and an Olympia win over the Knights, the Panthers still are one district win away from claiming the district title.

Up next: Week 11 will see the Panthers host another area powerhouse in West Orange High on Friday, Nov. 1, in the "Ole" Orange Crate game.

Horizon (1-8), 7

Davenport (4-4), 37

Highlights: After keeping the game close in the first half, the Horizon Hawks couldn't slow down the Davenport High offense in the second half, as the Broncos scored 24 points in the game's final two quarters.

Up next: Horizon will finish its regular season campaign at home against its rival Windermere High in the Battle of the Groves on Friday, Nov. 1.

Olympia (4-5), 48

East Ridge (3-5), 21

Highlights: The Olympia High Titans moved one game closer to .500 after dismantling the East Ridge Knights for their Homecoming game. On the back of a strong running game and a turnover-inducing defense, Olympia bounced back from a tough start that saw them down 14-7 in the second quarter and put together a dominant 41-7 run from the backend of the first half to the end of the game.

Olympia football's Eric Weems Jr. took a pass all the way down to the goal line to set up a Titans' touchdown.

Although Olympia is now 2-1 in 7A, District 9 play and is alive in the title fight, Dr. Phillips holds the tie-breaker over the Titans and can still clinch the crown outright with a win over East Ridge. If the Knights are able to beat the Panthers, there will be a three-way tie for the district championship and the team ranked highest in MaxPrep's rankings will be the district winner.

Up next: Home vs. Winter Park

Photos & full game recap: Olympia's Ja'Cari Jackson sparks big Homecoming win.

Windermere (9-0), 40

Innovation (5-4), 6

Highlights: Windermere High continues its magical run after topping first-year program Innovation High in convincing fashion. Quarterback Jack Reilly threw two touchdowns and ran for another while running back Octavio Ulloa rushed for two TDs. Defensive back C.J. Bronaugh caught two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown.

Up next: Windermere will close its regular season campaign with the chance to finish undefeated, but to do so, the Wolverines will have to go to rivals Horizon (1-8) on Friday, Nov. 1, and bring home the Smudge Pot trophy with a win.
