THE BULLS
Just two years ago this program was in the mix – as one of the top football teams in the state.
While last year’s goals fell way short of where they wanted to be, the team headed into the off-season with an attitude and a bit of a chip on their collective shoulders.
Tough losses to powers Tampa Jesuit, Seffner Armwood, Tampa Gaither, Palmetto, Plant City and Tampa Hillsborough overshadowed key wins that gave this team confidence.
Even though they failed to make the playoffs, those wins against Bradenton Manatee (36-14), Ruskin Lennard (35-21), Gibsonton East Bay (29-7), Lithia Newsome (16-10, OT) and Riverview (50-0) were indeed confidence builders for many of the younger prospects.
Those young prospects are now seniors – and those 2024 players are now junior ready to help turn things around and return things the way they were just two short year ago.
Here is a look at some of those 2023 and 2024 players to keep an eye on:
