• Loaded DeLand Bulldogs have unfinished business (miamiherald.com) — DeLand's football team is gearing up for a redemption run after last year's playoff loss to Lake Mary, which went on to win the state title on a dramatic Hail Mary. Players and coaches keep that Lake Mary defeat in mind as motivation, returning a senior-heavy roster and star running back Taihj Moore for another deep postseason push. Several marquee matchups, including another date with Lake Mary, loom this season. 
• Rosie Yvonne Kirlew (orlando-news.com) — A longtime registered nurse who worked with Genex Services in Lake Mary has passed away at age 76, with visitations and funeral services set later this week in Gotha and Orlando. Family, friends, and former colleagues are invited to pay their respects at Woodlawn Memorial Park and Holy Family Episcopal Church on August 21 and 22.
