When the 2021 high school football season wrapped up last weekend in Fort Lauderdale, there were questions asked by media, fans and those who follow the sport.
As teams headed back to their respective cities, many wondered – over the two week period in the Sunshine State – which underclassmen would impact the 2022 season?
As teams such as Madison County and Hawthorne battled in 1A; Jacksonville Trinity Christian and Hialeah Champagnat Catholic (2A); Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna and Tampa Berkeley Prep in 3A; and Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons and Cocoa, many wondered which players could be back to give those teams a chance to visit the state finals again.
Over the next two days, we will look at the players that impacted their teams and are expected to return for the 2022 season – starting today with a look at those 1A through 4A schools and ending up tomorrow with the 5A through 8A.
