Booker High has always prided itself on producing outstanding athletes and 4 H WR Tyren Wortham is proving he belongs among the Tornadoes next wave of standouts. Wortham finished last season with 67 catches for 1,360 yards. At 6’1” 185 lbs, Wortham is a college coach’s dream. Tyren has received 27 scholarship offers since the end of his junior season, including offers from Georgia, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Arizona, Iowa, and Kansas State. Thankfully for Spartan Nation, Tyren has c

The Sarasota Football team under the leadership of second year head coach Amp Campbell, has seen a lot of changes and the biggest change for the players has definitely been the culture in the locker room. Senior TE Scotty Wells thinks accountability has been the most important from the players perspective. "My first year on varsity, things were a lot more relaxed and the coaches really didn’t get on us very much." Wells continued "there is an entire new vibe with the coaches

One of the best parts of my job, is continuing to learn about different sports and the work that goes into being the best version you can be, while you compete. I have recently learned that contrary to what some might believe, the cheerleaders that entertain us every Friday night, put in an exceptional amount of work while no one is looking.      Riverview senior Megan Haggard is a perfect example of this. When she is not helping to whip the Rams crowd into a frenzy during fo

Every successful football team knows games are won and lost in the trenches. For the Riverview Rams, right tackle Luke Chappell has been one of the anchors up front, providing strength, consistency, and toughness along the offensive line.    Chappell brings a physical edge to Riverview’s offense. At right tackle, he’s tasked with protecting the quarterback and creating running lanes, and he’s proven dependable at both. His strong hands and footwork make him tough to beat in p

Venice senior CB Layne Kisovic brings a blend of speed, instincts, and toughness that makes him a nightmare for opposing wide receivers. He thrives in man-to-man coverage, sticking tight to his assignments, while also showing the awareness to read plays and jump routes. When the ball is in the air, he competes for it every time—often turning what looks like a sure completion into a pass breakup or turnover.    Beyond his coverage skills, Kisovic isn’t afraid to get physical i

Venice senior LB Kane Judson has played Varsity football for the Indians, all four years of his career. He is also a P for the Venice baseball team as well. Two weeks ago against Port Charlotte, Venice was faced with a 4th and goal from the Pirates, at the one yard line. With Port Charlotte having all of the momentum and an opportunity to tie Venice late in the game, Judson beat not just one but 2 separate blockers to sack Logan Flaherty in the backfield and preserve the win

In the evolving landscape of Sarasota Christian’s football program, one name has steadily emerged as a go-to playmaker: Justin Brock. A junior wide receiver (and occasional QB / athlete) with a knack for big plays, Brock is helping anchor a budding receiving corps as the Blazers transition to 11-man football. But Justin isn’t simply a WR. He’s effective as a returner on punts/kicks, has rushing experience, and knows how to create offense in various ways. That versatility make

When you have been giving interviews and watching others give interviews, so that you can learn from them, I have watched or been a part of thousands of one on one interactions with athletes. When I met Venice Sophomore Cooper Johnson, his athletic story was pretty amazing. His personal story is sad and inspiring at the same time and if you happen to read this article, I encourage you to reach out to this young man and hopefully I am able to capture how truly special Cooper r

When you talk about the elite players in Florida high school football, one name that consistently rises to the top is Chauncey Kennon. The Booker High School defensive back has earned a five-star reputation not just for his athletic gifts, but for his relentless work ethic and playmaking ability that make him one of the most feared defenders in the state.    Standing out in a program with a proud tradition of producing top talent, Kennon has carved his own path with a unique
