Satellite Looking To Keep The Momentum Alive

As players, coaches and fans look back at the 2020 season at Satellite, that 7-1 record certainly helped make the pandemic year go a lot smoother. As head coach <strong>Ted Kimmey</strong> and his staff continued to get the Scorpions in the spotlight, it was all about developing talent and getting athletes ready for college exposure. As we all know and understand, getting these prospects looked at by colleges over the past 15 months was not an easy task at all – and with plenty of hard work and  a solid spring, this is a program that is looking to keep this momentum going here in 2021. While the only setback of 2020 against Cocoa (41-7) was a tough loss and prevented this team from a perfect regular season, it was the driving force in a year that had some quality victories against some longtime foes. Cocoa Beach (63-0), Titusville (42-6), Melbourne Holy Trinity (63-33), Space Coast (37-0), Melbourne Central Catholic (35-0), Titusville Astronaut (27-7) and Merritt Island (22-8) were games that the Scorpions learned plenty from. <strong>TALENTED GROUP IS READY</strong> After the success this past season, the Class of 2022 (rising seniors) are ready and waiting for the 2021 season. Prospects such as <strong>Gabe Betts</strong> (LB, 6-3, 195 – 3.5 GPA), <strong>Vady “Bobby” Clark </strong>(S/OLB, 6-2, 185 – 3.2 GPA), <strong>Logan Ivey</strong> (OL/DL, 6-2, 215 – 3.2 GPA, 1030 SAT), <strong>Chase Malkin</strong> (CB, 5-9, 160 – 3.0 GPA), <strong>Gage Malkin</strong> (QB, 5-9, 160 – 3.1 GPA, 1240 SAT), <strong>Garrett Tantius</strong> (RB/LB, 5-10, 195 – 3.0 GPA) and versatile <strong>Valin Vigliotti</strong> (DL/OLB, 6-2, 210 – 3.8 GPA. 1150 SAT) will be looked upon for leadership and experience. <strong>CLASS OF 2023 IS STACKED WITH TALENT</strong> After the impressive 2020 season, a number of underclassmen really put in the work this off-season and into the spring. Among those prospects expected to make a huge impact include <strong>Eddie Combs</strong> (WR, 6-0, 165 – 3.9 GPA), <strong>Corbin Conley</strong> (OL, 6-4, 260 – 3.3 GPA), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128860" first="Miles" last="Henkel"]</strong> (WR/DB, 5-8, 175 – 3.8 GPA), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128393" first="Achaia" last="Jones"]</strong> (RB, 5-7, 190 – 3.3 GPA, 1080 PSAT), <strong>Tai Montanez</strong> (OL/DL, 6-3, 260 – 3.4 GPA) and two-way standout <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128426" first="Gabe" last="White"]</strong> (RB/LB, 5-10, 200 – 2.8 GPA). <strong>TRACKING FLORIDA: Teams Look At 2021 Season. </strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2021/03/tracking-florida-teams-look-at-2021-season/">https://prepredzone.com/2021/03/tracking-florida-teams-look-at-2021-season/</a> <strong> </strong><strong>PHOTO COURTESY OF SATELLITE HIGH FOOTBALL</strong> <strong><em>You Can Contact [player_tooltip player_id="111610" first="Larry" last="Blustein"] with prospect or team information at: Floridakids1@aol.com.
