Has Sebring Turned The Corner?

While Sebring High football fans will focus on the 49-46 playoff loss to Jensen Beach,  ending 2020 with an amazing 8-1 record, head coach <strong>LaVaar Scott</strong> and his team will use that setback as another brick in this building process. In a pandemic year to remain focused on being healthy, the Blue Streaks came up on the winning side eight times. Victories over Clearwater Central Catholic, Fort Myers Bishop Verot and Clearwater American Collegiate Academy were defining to a team looking to remain in the playoff hunt every year. If this team is to stay at that level – it will be the senior class (2022) that will be counted on heavily. Prospects such as <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="111529" first="Beau" last="Riley"]</strong> (OL, 6-7, 290 – 3.5 GPA), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="111551" first="Quentin" last="Joyner"]</strong> (DE/DT, 6-4, 250 – 2.9 GPA), <strong>Emmitt Beck</strong> (DE/LB, 6-4, 210), <strong>Bailey Riggles</strong> (DT, 6-3, 270) and offensive lineman <strong>Nic Young</strong> (6-3, 270 – 3.3 GPA) will be needed.

Class of 2023 juniors <strong>Luke Swaine</strong> (OL, 6-4, 275 – 3.9 GPA), <strong>Jalen Knighten</strong> (SS, 5-10, 170 – 3.0 GPA), <strong>Jameslee Paul</strong> (DE, 6-3, 235 – 2.7 GPA), <strong>Tyler Blevins</strong> (DE, 6-3, 190 – 2.5 GPA), <strong>Kadin Baker</strong> (DE/LB, 6-3, 220 – 2.9 GPA) and defensive tackle <strong>Clayton Wadlinger</strong> (6-0, 230 – 3.1 GPA).

The Class of 2024 prospects that the Blue Streaks feature will be the future, but also the present – with <strong>Travis Kerney</strong> (RB/LB, 5-11, 185 – 2.5 GPA), <strong>Fred Hankerson </strong>(RB, 5-10, 185 – 2.6 GPA), <strong>Charles Dale</strong> (DB/WR, 6-1, 165 – 3.6 GPA), <strong>Josiah Taylor</strong> (LB, 6-0, 210 – 2.9 GPA),  <strong>Rhett Vaughn</strong> (DE/LB, 6-3, 200 – 3.5 GPA) and versatile <strong>Rayshawn Daniels</strong> (DB/RB, 5-10, 165). <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><em>You Can Contact [player_tooltip player_id="111610" first="Larry" last="Blustein"] with prospect or team information at: Floridakids1@aol.com.
