As head coach <strong>Mike Granato </strong>and his West Orange football team look back at the 2020 season, there were some impressive things that this program took away from the experience.
Finishing 6-4, this is a program that had chance to accomplish some amazing things – with wins over Lake Mary (34-7), Windermere (62-0), state power Apopka (15-14), Ocoee (31-0) and Timber Creek (26-0) in the playoffs.
Even the losses were games that the Warriors had their chances. In setbacks to Orlando Boone (31-24), Lake Brantley (28-21), Orlando Jones (38-21) and the rematch with Apopka in the playoffs (18-9), this is a team that showed that they can stand toe-toe with anyone, and they more than showed it.
<strong>2022 PROSPECTS ARE TALENTED</strong>
With spring right around the corner, this is a team that will find out a lot about themselves – with a quality cast of rising seniors in the Class of 2022 that are ready for the challenge.
Among those quality prospects who are ready to lead include <strong>Christopher Dauphin</strong> (OL/DL, 6-3, 275), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="50211" first="Jayden" last="Gibson"] </strong>(WR, 6-6, 185 – 2.907 GPA), <strong>Quentin Hatch </strong>(LB/SS, 6-1, 205 – 2.917 GPA), impressive quarterback <strong>Tyler Huff</strong> (6-2, 170 – 4.0 GPA), who also gets it done in the classroom.
Standout <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="50026" first="Matthew" last="McDoom"]</strong> (CB/WR, 5-9, 170 – 2.632 GPA) will be joined by <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="111712" first="Tony" last="Newsome"]</strong> (DB, 6-2, 205), <strong>Javan Robinson</strong> (Athlete, 6-0, 170) and speedy <strong>Terrell Walden II</strong> (RB, 5-10,175 – 3.0 GPA).
<strong>PLENTY OF ATHLETES TO CHOOSE FROM IN 2023</strong>
Make no mistake, the Warriors are stacked with big time talent in the Class of 2023.
Among those elite athletes include <strong>Jordan Castell</strong> (DB, 6-2, 205 – 2.607 GPA), <strong>Christopher Ficka</strong> (OL/DL, 6-1, 270, 3.2 GPA) and nationally-rated receiver <strong>Asaad Waseem </strong>(5-11, 170 – 3.215 GPA), who makes his way over from Wekiva.
