<p>Moments after last year's 8A state championship game against Venice, it was time to turn the attention to 2022.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a solid spring and off-season, forgetting that 35-7 loss to a sound Venice team is what this program did.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Instead of dwelling on that game, this program focused on wins over Orlando Colonial (47-0), Winter Garden West Orange (13-0), Orlando Dr. Phillips (28-14), Orlando Evans (20-6), Ocala West Port (44-0), Altamonte Springs Lake Brantley (41-3), Ocoee (42-0), rival Apopka Wekiva (37-6) and St. John's Creekside (42-0) in the regular season – and St. John's Bartram Trail (34-3), an overtime win against Sanford Seminole (28-27) and St. Lucie Treasure Coast (21-0) in the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This program, which has been in the mix for over the past two decades, went back to work and spent time on looking at things that went wrong – while building on the many things that went right.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As they are ready for the 2022 season, here is a look at prospects who are
