    Bronson rallied from two matches down to beat Bell 3-2 in varsity volleyball action on Thursday.

    Chiefland’s season-opening loss vs. Lecanto looked a lot better on film than it did live. At least, Indians coach Jim O’Neal had more positives to point out after watching highlights of Friday’s 17-0 setback against the 6A Panthers in Wayne Pridgeon Stadium.

    Don’t expect Chiefland’s football team to attack Friday’s home scrimmage against Lakeland Victory Christian at 7:30 p.m. like a typical scrimmage. The Indians certainly will be playing to win, something they haven’t done since 2009 after a winless 2010.
