The boys basketball season was off and running last week. Right up until the time one confirmed Apopka High COVID-19 case shut down the Metro Hoop Fest a few hours before championship games were to be played.
The Blue Darters aren’t the only Orlando area team sidelined for a quarantine period. Hagerty is also shut down until later this week. There are likely more cases or concerns that have not been made public.
But the season rolls on with two major events on tap this week. The Rotary Tip Off Classic tournament, which has area No. 1 Orlando Christian Prep as part of its eight-team field, runs Wednesday through Saturday at Winter Park High School.
