<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Polk County area has been on point when it comes to the coverage and support of the student-athletes, and much of that has come through the hard work of Hasani Harper and PolkWay863. This week's media day event will be huge, with more than 20 high schools attending that will feature various coaches and players. As always, Prep Redzone scout Drew Johnson will be in attendance to cover the event and provide a preview of the fall season. For now, here are the teams scheduled to attend with times and head coaches listed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sebring | 9:15 a.m. | Head Coach: LaVaar Scott | 2022 record: 8-3 -
