Unbeaten Tampa Bay Tech Faces A Test Friday

Heading into Friday’s road game at 4-1 Wiregrass Ranch, head coach <strong>Jayson Roberts</strong> and his Tampa Bay Tech football team is turning heads across the state. The Titans carry a 6-0 record into this district game that will feature plenty of talent on both sides of the ball. With wins against Plant City (34-0), Steinbrenner (53-30), Tampa Hillsborough (14-7), Tampa Gaither (28-14), Seffner Armwood (34-26) and Lithia Newsome (21-9) last Friday, you can say that this program has been challenged in a major way. A win on Friday, will be great, but this program has much bigger plans here in 2021. With talented Tampa Wharton, Strawberry Crest and Tampa Chamberlain still left after Friday night’s showdown, the Titans believe they can be a major obstacle when the playoffs begin. With a senior class that has certainly stepped it up this year – with talent and leadership – you can guarantee that this program will have a huge edge. Prospects such as <strong>Cyris Alexander</strong> (S, 6-0, 185), <strong>Brandon Bethune</strong> (WR), <strong>Michael Boone</strong> (CB, 6-0, 175), <strong>Tristan Boone</strong> (CB, 6-0, 175), playmaker <strong>Jadyn Church</strong> (OLB, 6-0, 205), <strong>Keyon Clark</strong> (DE, 6-3, 230), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="111443" first="James" last="Evans IV"]</strong> (RB, 5-11, 205) and gifted <strong>Greg Gaines III</strong> (WR, 6-2, 180) have been impressive so far. Other seniors such as <strong>Jeremiah Johnson</strong> (S), <strong>John Ponder</strong> (WR, 5-9, 165), <strong>Ronald Sims</strong> (RB, 5-7, 212), <strong>Jacquay Wright</strong> (CB) and cornerback <strong>Noah Yorker</strong> (5-11, 175) have led the way as well. <strong>TREMENDOUS GROUP OF UNDERCLASSMEN</strong> In addition to a senior class that has made a huge impact, the underclassmen have proven that this program is here to stay. Class of 2023 juniors <strong>Jahiem Borden</strong> (DT, 5-11, 210), <strong>Antonio Camon</strong> (DE, 6-2, 250), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128759" first="Norris" last="Davis"]</strong> (FS, 6-3, 175), <strong>Donteye Drew</strong> (DT, 6-2, 275), <strong>Kai Gadson </strong>(OG, 6-3, 290), <strong>Edward Gwinn</strong> (LB, 6-1, 215), and offensive linemen <strong>Shaun Lango</strong> (6-1, 320) and <strong>Fred Neal</strong> (6-2, 255) have made a tremendous impact. So have <strong>Mekhi Penix</strong> (WR, 6-4, 180), <strong>Tristan Pless</strong> (Athlete, 6-0, 195), <strong>D.J. Porcher</strong> (OT, 6-3, 290) and quarterback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128826" first="Xavione" last="Washington"]</strong> (6-1, 190).
