THE TIGERS
Even though this program has reached a level where they compete for a state playoff game each year, the 2021 season was one that was tough to figure out.
Losing to the eventual 7A state runner up Tampa Bay Tech Titans in the second round of the playoffs, there were some key wins as well.
Beating Wesley Chapel Wiregrass Ranch (41-6) in the opening round of the playoffs was something that showed this program they were still relevant. Add to that regular season wins against neighbors Bradenton Manatee (27-9), Ruskin Lennard (48-13), Gibsonton East Bay (19-13) and Valrico Bloomingdale (23-3).
Besides the loss to Tampa Bay Tech, the losses came against some powers in Florida like St. Petersburg Lakewood, Sarasota Riverview, 8A state champion Venice and Orlando Jones.
As they head toward summer, this is a program that is once again loaded with quality prospects in every class.
Here is a look at some of the prospects to watch:
