Zephyrhills Christian Ready To Compete For A State Title
In this article:
After an 8-3 season in 2020, it would be hard to convince head coach <strong>Mike Smith</strong> that his Zephyrhills Christian football team is not one of the best 2A teams in the state of Florida.
As they get ready for the season ahead, the Warriors are coming off a productive spring and summer – and every player coach believes that this coming year could be one of the best the program has had.
What those three setbacks last season to Bradenton Christian, Sarasota and Seffner Christian in the playoffs did for the Warriors was make them believe that every game they play, they have a chance to come out on top.
Wins over Ocoee Central Florida Christian Academy, Mulberry, Crescent City, Zarephath Academy, Hudson, North Florida Educational Institute, Discovery and Sunlake only gave this team more confidence, heading into this season.
With a group of seniors (2022) that include impressive and versatile <strong>Andrew Felder</strong> (RB/DB, 5-8, 170 – 3.0 GPA), <strong>Dontrevius Jackson</strong> (RB/SS – 3.0 GPA), athletic <strong>Andrew Miller</strong> (QB/Athlete, 5-10, 170) and quality athlete <strong>Demetri Whitehead</strong> (3.57 GPA), the Warriors have that talent and leadership needed.
<strong>UNDERCLASSMEN ARE READY TO GO</strong>
With several underclassmen getting reps in 2020 and throughout the productive off season, look for several talented football players to step up and make a difference in 2021.
The Class of 2023 will have standouts such as <strong>Emmanuel Allen</strong> (Slot/CB, 3.0 GPA), <strong>Octavious Cook</strong> (Slot/DB, 5-9, 170 - 2.6 GPA), <strong>Antonio Hunt</strong> (DT/RB, 6-0, 245) and impact receiver <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128489" first="Hezekiah" last="Langley"]</strong> (5-9, 170 – 2.75 GPA). There is also rising Class of 2024 prospect <strong>Fred Adams Jr.</strong> (FS, 5-9, 165).
