Lake Mary Ready For The Challenge

In a year when head coach <strong>Scott Perry's</strong> Lake Mary football team posted an 8-3 record, there is plenty of optimism heading into 2021. With a solid core of seniors, the Rams will build on those losses to West Orange, Apopka in the regular season and in the playoffs, where they dropped a tough 7-6 decision. Looking back at those setbacks certainly set the tone for this year – and while they came up short in those contests, it's the wins that will go a long way in giving this program confidence this coming season. With that senior class in place – prospects such as USF commitment <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="50174" first="Gunnar" last="Smith"]</strong> (QB, 6-4, 180 – 3.7 GPA), who is considered one of the best in the state, will certainly be a leader that this program will need in those competitive 8A games. Also, <strong>Stone Boss</strong> (LB/S, 6-0, 182 – 4.2 GPA), <strong>Ayden Petitpas</strong> (SS, 5-11, 185 – 3.9 GPA), <strong>Al Yacoub</strong> (FB/TE, 6-1, 206 – 3.0 GPA), <strong>Alejandro Ramos </strong>(FS, 5-10, 170 – 2.8 GPA) and defensive lineman <strong>C.J. Sheets</strong> (6-2, 200 – 3.5 GPA) are going to be special as will. Look for UCF commitment <strong>Colton Boomer</strong> (PK, 5-10, 175 – 3.4 GPA) to give the special teams a major lift – as well <strong>Gannon Stoner</strong> (DE/OLB, 5-10, 175 – 3.4 GPA), <strong>Isaac Peters</strong> (DE, 6-0, 210 – 4.4 GPA) and defensive tackle <strong>Mike Rubio</strong> (DT, 6-2, 315). <strong>PLENTY OF YOUNG TALENT ON THE WAY</strong> As the senior class will have that experience and leadership needed to get through the season ahead, Class of 2023 juniors <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128795" first="Braeden" last="Marshall"]</strong> (CB/S, 5-10, 170 – 3.4 GPA), <strong>Garrett Law</strong> (P, 6-0, 165 – 2.5 GPA) and receiver <strong>Markel Jones</strong> (5-11, 160 – 2.7 GPA) are expected to make a major impact. In addition, the Rams figure to be strong with Class of 2024 sophomores <strong>Caden Harshbarger</strong> (RB/WR, 5-11, 160 – 3.85 GPA) and receiver <strong>Logan Cook</strong> (5-11, 165 – 3.8 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><em>You Can Contact [player_tooltip player_id="111610" first="Larry" last="Blustein"] with prospect or team information at: Floridakids1@aol.com.
