OVIEDO, Fla. – With playoff seeding and pride on the line, Central Florida schools produced some wild and dramatic finishes in rivalry games in Week 11.

In big contests, Oviedo (9-1) rallied past Hagerty (8-2) in a battle of playoff-bound teams; Wekiva (5-5) shocked Class 4M (Metro)-District 2 champ Apopka, 20-14, in the closing seconds; unbeaten Edgewater (10-0) held off Boone (6-4) in “The Battle for the Barrel”;Cocoa (6-3) battled past Rockledge 28-20 in the BBQ Bowl; and Melbourne edged crosstown rival Eau Gallie, 13-7.

Here is a quick recap from Friday’s big games:

Oviedo 26, Hagerty 18

The Lions won the Mayor’s Cup for the sixth consecutive year with an impressive come-from-behind win at Hagerty. Oviedo trailed 7-6 at halftime but got untracked over the last two quarters.

“It was a tough game,” said Oviedo coach Greg Odierno. “The environment was electric. Hat’s off to Hagerty. Coach (Steve) Mikles has them playing really good football. That’s the type of football game you want to play heading into the playoffs.”

Oviedo quarterback Jackson LaTour had a hot hand with four touchdown passes, outdueling Hagerty record-setting signal-caller Anthony Benzija.

LaTour threw two TD passes to running back DJ Scott, and one each to Marquet Williams and Ryan Monroe. Scott also rushed for more than 90 yards.

“We started off slow in the first half but made adjustments going into the second half,” LaTour said. “The O-line really stepped up and my receivers were making big-time catches. It was an awesome experience and one that I will remember for the rest of my life.”

Oviedo’s defense also played a big part in the win. Dallas Johnson had two interceptions, and Kage Johnson and Tim Benedick had two sacks each for the Lions.

“Dallas Johnson played a great game for us, defensively,” Odierno said. “He was matched up with their best wide receiver and he played his tail off with two interceptions.”

Benzija ran for a TD and passed for another to lead Hagerty. “Unfortunately, we fell short and didn’t play a clean game,” said Hagerty quarterbacks coach Richard Quinones. “We expected a cleaner game but struggled at times and couldn’t overcome many mistakes throughout this game. Can’t do that with a solid team like Oviedo.”

“We will work to clean those things up and move forward,” Quinones said. “Looking forward to playing Lake Mary this week!”

Oviedo and Hagerty both head to the playoffs on Friday. The Lions will host Tampa Wharton in a Class 3M quarterfinal, while Hagerty visits Lake Mary in a Class 4M quarterfinal.

Wekiva 20, Apopka 14

Wekiva beat its crosstown rival for the Mayor’s Cup and cemented a playoff spot with a thrilling last-minute victory.

Quarterback Ty’ray Davis threw a TD pass to Joshua Bennett with 7 seconds left to complete a stirring comeback against the Blue Darters (7-3), who won the Class 4M-2 title just three days before with a last-second field goal against Seminole.

Wekiva’s defense shut out Apopka in the second half after the Blue Darters got a TD run and TD pass from Tyson Davison to take a 14-7 halftime lead. Davis scored on a TD run in the first quarter for Wekiva.

“I feel like the reason we won was because the players wanted it bad,” said Wekiva star defensive lineman Sincere Edwards, a UCF commit. “The coaches were calling great plays and we were executing at a high point.

“We also played four quarters of football,” Edwards said. “We kept fighting even when we were down 14 points. All of that led up to a great team win.”

Wekiva next visits Orlando Jones in a Class 3M playoff game on Friday. Apopka will host Boone in a 4M contest.

Edgewater 21, Boone 14

Edgewater (10-0), ranked No. 2 in Florida in all classes, had to fight tooth and nail to stay unbeaten in the “Battle for the Barrel.”

Kaden Shields-Dutton ran for two TDs, and quarterback Chase Carter ran for another score to help the Eagles beat the Braves for the fifth consecutive year.

“It was a hard-fought win, really a battle, found a way to get a win,” said Edgewater coach Cameron Duke, whose team will host Jacksonville First Coast in a Class 3M playoff game on Friday.

Laggarius Marshell turned in a superb effort for Boone with more than 110 yards rushing and two TDs.

“Proud of the effort,” said Boone coach Andy Johnson. “The coaching staff dialed up a great game plan. It was a classic “Barrel” game. The kids laid it on the line.”

Cocoa 28, Rockledge 20

The defending Class 4A state runner-up Tigers (6-3) fought off the Raiders to win the BBQ Bowl in a battle of district champions.

Blake Boda threw a TD pass and ran for another score to lead Cocoa, which won the Class 2S (Suburban)-District 12 title.

Anthony Bridgewater and Cedrick Hawkins also scored for the Tigers, who host Dunnellon in a first-round game on Friday.

Rockledge won the Class 3S-10 championship. The Raiders will host Satellite in the playoffs on Friday.

Melbourne 13, Eau Gallie 7

Quarterback Hunter Turner led Mel-Hi (8-2) to a hard-fought victory against crosstown Eau Gallie (7-3). Both schools are headed to the playoffs.

Mel-Hi will host Port St. Lucie Centennial in a Class 4S quarterfinal, while Eau Gallie will visit Daytona Beach Mainland in Class 3S.

The second-generation leader of a fast-growth sod company modernized the company in a host of ways. But some old-school principles — quality and a strong work culture among them — remain a priority.

Tiffany Bailey didn’t grow up wanting to go into the sod business. But she did come of age alongside acres of growing grass, after her father, Jack Bispham, started Bayside Sod in Sarasota in 1987.

“I grew up completely immersed in the family business,” says Bailey, 38, and a Business Observer 40-under-40 winner in 2020. “But I really didn’t have an interest because as a kid, we were kind of expected to help out no matter what.”

Things started to change when she was studying horticultural sciences at the University of Florida. Once she was “given that permission” to figure things out on her own, she knew where she wanted to be.

“I started coming home in the summers and working with my dad, and I realized I think I like this,” she says. “I thought there could be an opportunity for me to take over and to continue what my dad had started.”

In 2018, Bailey, her brother and her brother-in-law bought out Bispham, who was ready to retire. Bailey is now CEO of Bayside Sod and is both continuing her father’s legacy and bringing the company into the future. The company’s headquarters are on State Road 64, in east Manatee County.

Growing the business has been an ongoing goal. “I believe you’re either growing or you’re dying,” says Bailey. “So I’ve focused on growth a lot, but strategic growth. It’s not just growing for growth’s sake; it’s growing with the right intention.”

Bayside Sod now farms a total of 900 acres across six locations in Sarasota and Manatee counties. It grows six different varieties of turfgrass — Floratam St. Augustine, ProVista St. Augustine, Bitter Blue St. Augustine, CitraBlue St. Augustine, Empire Zoysia and Bimini Bermuda. Bailey expects to finish 2022 with about $6.5 million in sales, more than double the $3 million in 2018.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to build an excellent place to work,” says Bailey. “That’s important to me. Sometimes people ask how big do I want to get it? And the answer is as long as we have a company where people are happy to be here, I’ll keep going and going and going.”

Since taking ownership of the company, Bailey has embraced technology to manage the business and increase efficiency. She started a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system that helps the company stay in touch with customers after sod is installed and offer tips for care and maintenance. And a software platform from Turf Logistics helps her manage the business. “It gives me as an owner a full view of what’s going on at multiple locations,” she says. “It has really good reporting features where I can get access to good real-time data. Before, that used to exist in a pile of notebooks on my desk and maybe a few spreadsheets.”

A task management system keeps Bayside’s 29 employees on the same page when it comes to production schedules and plans. “Before that existed, we would just meet at the shop in the morning and talk about what we were going to do that day,” says Bailey. “Systemization is nothing sexy to talk about, but as you want to get bigger and scale your business, you have to start putting some systems and processes in place. Just meeting at the shop doesn’t work as your business grows.”

Bailey has also worked to expand the company’s customer base beyond selling wholesale to contractors and big sod installation companies, as she witnessed the effects of the 2008-09 recession on those clients and her own business. So Bayside Sod has been developing relationships with small and large landscapers, started installing sod for residential customers and opened a small retail site in Bradenton “where customers can walk in and buy as little as a piece of sod or as much as truckload to be delivered to their house,” says Bailey.

One thing that hasn’t changed? “My dad had a really big focus on quality,” she says. “And when you can grow a quality product, a lot of other things fall into place a lot easier. So I didn’t want to lose that.

She seems to have succeeded in that endeavor. “They grow some really quality stuff,” says Homer Diaz, owner of Ruskin-based Turf 1, a turf provider and installer that buys sod from Bayside Sod. “The times I go to their farms or my drivers go out there, there are just trucks lined up. That says a lot about them. They provide a good product, and people are just lined up to buy it day after day, week after week.”

Relationships with entities like the University of Florida turfgrass program and turfgrass development company Sod Solutions help ensure Bayside stays on the, ahem, cutting edge when it comes to the grasses it grows. “Having partners in your industry is huge,” says Bailey.

The University of Florida turfgrass program works to develop new turfgrass cultivars that are easy for sod growers to produce and easy for homeowners to maintain. The goal? Grasses that are resistant to disease and pests and require less water and fertilizer, but still look good on a lawn. Those kinds of advancements are important for dealing with issues like water supply and climate change.

Input and involvement from companies like Bayside Sod help the university in its R&D efforts. Bayside has donated sod and financially supported the University of Florida turfgrass program over the years, and a building at the university’s research farm in Citra was renamed the Bispham Turfgrass Support Building after Bailey’s father.

“It’s not a one-man show,” says Kevin Kenworthy, a professor of turfgrass breeding and genetics in the University of Florida Agronomy Department. “I could develop something that I think meets the needs from my perspective as a scientist and researcher, but if the sod grower can’t grow it economically, then it will never make it to market.

“Bayside has always been one of the leading farms, in my perspective, since I’ve been here [since 2004], in terms of they’re both involved and eager to be involved in what the university is doing with its turfgrass science programs,” he adds.

Bayside has also helped Sod Solutions test new grass products. “There’s a lot of testing that needs to be done in real-world conditions,” says Mark Kann, director of Florida operations for Sod Solutions. “Until you put it out in the real world and grow a higher acreage, you really don’t know what you have. Bayside has always been very supportive of new grasses.”

These kinds of relationships have helped Bayside Sod respond to the environmental pressures and concerns both the company and its customers face today. “We’re able to grow our turf with less fertilizer and water than ever before, and we always want that to get better and better,” says Bailey. “And people are wanting options; I think just the traditional big lawn is changing. And that is something we certainly look at, to see how we can satisfy the customer’s changing wants.”

She’s waiting to see how the local real estate market is affected by Hurricane Ian and its aftermath, and that’s why growing the retail, direct-to-consumer side of the business is crucial. “Right now I’m feeling thankful for that decision, since there are a lot of things sort of threatening the housing market right now,” she says. “I fully believe that if we have the right people and make the right strategy decisions, we’ll find the right markets that match what we can do.”

Hiring new COO Jeff Murphy earlier in 2022 was also an important strategic move for Bailey to help support further growth. “We want to become stronger in these next couple of years,” she says. “We want to make sure our culture stays strong and that we have the right people in the right seats. We want to make sure that we’re measuring a lot more in the business, so that we can see in real time that handful of numbers that really matter.”

Fine-tuning the company’s vision is another objective. “I want every employee to know where we’re going and to feel a part of it,” says Bailey. “And to know how their work can affect our future and how important everybody’s job is for us achieving something greater than any one individual.”

Bailey has followed her father’s lead when it comes to taking care of those employees. Other lessons for her dad resonate today as well. “My dad just had this drive to be great at work,” she says. “He and I approach that in different ways, but the underlying passion that he had for his work, I absolutely share that and bring that to my company just like he did. I feel a big sense of responsibility around my work, and I definitely get that from my dad.”

If you visit Pompeii, you can see a 2,000-year-old honky-tonk. The Roman city in southern Italy was preserved by a disaster we don't experience too often in Florida. Our hurricanes and wildfires destroy, but they don't bury the remains for the benefit of antiquarians and tour guides.

All Floridians can expect is that asphalt and concrete may cover some of our civilization, to be discovered by archaeologists of future millennia and classified as Old Plastic Culture, considered a sad and primitive time even by researchers trained to be non-judgmental.

Florida is a land of the eternal present. Every generation moves here, looks around and decides to remake Florida in its own image. Granted, Florida is a new place overall, with less physical heritage than Assyria or Massachusetts. But that's more reason to care for what past we have.

More from Michael Stephens:

If you place obscenities where kids can see them, you are not a conservative

Floridians are progress-obsessed, historically rootless and boundlessly optimistic

Colonial Florida got its start with the founding of St. Augustine in 1565. So did Florida's tourism industry, when Sir Francis Drake visited a few years later and burned it. There's nothing ruinous in St. Augustine. Everything has either been maintained all along, lovingly restored or reconstructed from the finest coquina money can buy.

That's far from the state of most other Spanish outposts across Florida. Fernandina's Fort San Carlos is lucky to have a historical marker noting the earthworks that have become mere undulations in the ground. Fort San Marcos de Apalache boasts stone walls still tall enough to delay an angry possum.

Florida's Spanish missions have typically been rediscovered through postholes and potsherds.

Northern Marion and southern and eastern Alachua County form what's remembered as the Old Citrus Belt. Citrus first became vital to Florida here, prospering until freezes drove the industry south after 1899. It's one of the few regions of Florida to ever know decline.

Hamlets like Island Grove, Citra, Cross Creek and McIntosh slumber on as living museums. Citrus packing houses stand like Greek temples, remarkably akin to them in both dimensions and dignity. Their wood and tin have grayed like stone. Look carefully and you may even see some scraggly orange trees still hanging on, survivors of groves sacred to the gods

Now we explore slightly lost cities and other curiosities of proto-modern Florida.

Opa-locka's over 100 Moorish Revival buildings give the South Florida town a medieval Baghdadi exoticism that would make Harun al-Rashid proud. One almost expects to see Sabu fly past on a carpet.

Opa-locka's faded 1920s charms are, well, part of its charm. People actually live here, rather than being a ticketed attraction. You can drive down Aladdin Street and Ali Baba Avenue in an air-conditioned comfort you'd seldom have at Disney.

At Santos, south of Ocala, U.S. 27/301/441 divides to form a wooded island of a few acres. Hidden here stand four huge concrete pylons intended to support a bridge over the Atlantic-Gulf Ship Canal. This giant ancestor of the Cross-Florida Barge Canal was fortunately halted in the 1930s.

Untouched by time, the mere thirty-foot pylons suggest Mayan ruins, while the sixty-footers could be relics of Atlantis. After every other human trace across Florida has crumbled, they may still stand, glories of a cancelled past.

On U.S. 41 north of Dunnellon, scrub forest gives way to a desolate field. Beyond sit eight round, domed buildings made all of brick, windowless and forlorn. In some older land they might be mistaken for the tombs of pagan kings. (Actually, they're disused charcoal kilns.)

I was about 6 when I first saw them. It was night, in a Florida far lonelier than today, and if you'd told me that Satan's demons live there, I would have believed it. Even recently, viewed on an afternoon of storm clouds and thunder, they seemed somehow involved in calling up the winds.

With the cult of the new and shiny enshrined as Florida's state religion, Florida's ruins are too often considered eyesores, spared only by the cost of removal. The wonder and mystery they lend to our plastic state is seldom appreciated.

Who knows what remains out there, unrecognized and unloved? Fine old houses falling down, overgrown graveyards with stones aslant, abandoned stretches of the first highways to bring tourists south in their Model Ts? We do know that once they're gone, Florida can never, ever get them back. Of course, we could always build some fiberglass replicas.

MARION COUNTY, Fla. —

Marion County held a news conference Monday afternoon as Hurricane Ian heads for Florida.
