Season Preview

Strengths

Solid group of returnees

Leadership

Defensive toughness

Athleticism

Apopka hopes to translate regular season success (39 wins, 1 District Title, 1 Metro Title, #1 State Ranking) into playoff success in 2020. The Blue Darters will rely on the leadership and play of senior forward Zach Anderson and junior PG John Latimer III to lead an athletic, talented club. Returners Rudy Gatling, Earl Lombardi and Devin Leath are joined by newcomers Camerin James, Rodney Wenze, Brandon Johnson and Myrick Davis to give the Darters depth and athleticism. Apopka now plays in a newly formed 7 team district that will be deep and talented every year, so the journey to the playoffs grows even harder.
