If you follow high school football in Florida, you already know about Bartram Trail’s longtime head football coach Darrell Sutherland. For those who do not follow the entire state, here is someone who has devoted his life to the sport, teaching and helping young men become more than athletes.

Through the many years, his teams have won and developed – and if you ask any coach, in any sport, developing and teaching athletes is perhaps the most rewarding thing you can do. While the Bears lost a tough playoff game last year, they have rebuilt and reloaded with some quality football players who have already made a difference. This is indeed a program that has a tough schedule, but will stand toe-to-toe with anyone, and they will have a chance to prove it. So far this season, Coach Sutherland, his staff and the Bears beat a tough Creekside team in a battle of St. John, 50-40, Jacksonville Mandarin, 26-13, St. Augustine, 35-21 and dropped a 35-10 decision to nationally-rated Plantation American Heritage.
