OVIEDO, FLORIDA – Although spring football results come with caution flags, the Oviedo and Lake Nona Lions showed promise for the upcoming Florida high school football season.

Behind returning quarterback Sebastian Galeano and a fierce defense, host Oviedo overpowered Ocoee, 35-8, in a spring game on Thursday night. Galeano, a senior, passed for two touchdowns and ran for another to help the Lions build a 35-0 lead before the Knights finally scored on a TD run late in the game.

Oviedo Starts Fast

It was an impressive performance by Oviedo, which is coming off an 8-3 playoff season – its fourth consecutive postseason appearance.

“We showed some flashes of what we can be this year,” said Oviedo coach Greg Odierno. “Proud of the three forced turnovers and the goal-line stand.”

Defense Sets the Tone for the Lions

Oviedo certainly has the talent to contend in the playoffs this fall.…
