Top-ranked Lyman, No. 2 Lake Nona and reigning state champ Lake Highland Prep swept region matches on Saturday. Lake Brantley rallied to win and The Geneva School was also victorious.

Cesar Beltran anchors an improved DeLand, Seabreeze bounces back and Matanzas has a new man in charge. The Volusia-Flagler area sent six boys soccer teams to the state playoffs last year. None, however, survived the first round.

Spruce Creek recently celebrated the college signings of 17 athletes, including seven Division I baseball recruits. Pitcher Brandon Neely and outfielder Corey Robinson signed with Florida, while pitcher/first baseman Preston Wetherell made his commitment to rival Florida State official.

Spruce Creek and Flagler Palm Coast, 2 of the area's perennial powers, produced 2 selections apiece for The Daytona Beach News-Journal's Super 7 team. Six of the players from The Daytona Beach News-Journal's Super 7 girls basketball selections of a year ago have graduated and joined Division I programs. That leaves plenty of opportunity for new stars to emerge in 2020-21.

PORT ORANGE — Damarcus Creecy's first high school pass was certainly memorable, but for all the wrong reasons. With Spruce Creek leading Mainland 7-0 in its opening game of the coronavirus-delayed season, Creecy entered the game for a series to get some experience. He misfired on a screen pass, and Lemondre Joe took it 46 yards the other direction for a touchdown.

Pine Ridge's Jaylen Cheeks and Flagler Palm Coast's Desmond Neal join five newcomers on this year's list. Volusia-Flagler's boys basketball playing field looks pretty level entering 2020-21. As such, players from seven different programs comprise this year's News-Journal preseason Super 7.
