Rare Winning Season For Spanish River

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Forget the way the 2023 season ended for the Boca Raton Spanish River Sharks with a loss to Palm Beach Central. That loss was a state playoff game and gave this team a 7-4 season. That's right – state playoff game!!!!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While that may not sound like an earth-shattering accomplishment to some, this program has had one winning record over the past two plus decades, and what head coach <strong>Ian Headley</strong> and his staff have done for this program is indeed amazing – to say the least.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While they closed with four losses in five games, the focus was directly on the 6-0 record that this program began the season with. Something that has been simply unheard of for the Sharks, who were 21-111 with seven winless seasons in an extended period.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The turnaround – with Headley was a result of what happened in the off-season, as the program attended everything and competed against some quality programs and athletes – all in the name of improving and finally put together a winning season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To continue this winning, the rising senior (2025) class will have to continue to step up and accept the challenge of leadership and experience.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That class includes <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1324841' first='Trent' last='Asble']</strong> (WR, 6-0, 170 – 2.7 GPA)<strong>, Dominic Bates</strong> (LB, 5-10, 200 – 3.3 GPA), <strong>Cole Cooper</strong> (OLB, 6-0, 180 – 3.6 GPA), <strong>Vory Copeland Jr.</strong> (DB, 6-0, 175 – 3.5 GPA), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1232482' first='Oscar' last='Mendoza']</strong> (DE, 6-2, 240 - 3.0 GPA), <strong>Sebastian Germain</strong> (OT, 6-4, 265 – 3.5 GPA),<strong> Terrell Ocean</strong> (RB, 5-11, 215 – 2.6 GPA)<strong>, Jack Taylor</strong> (OL, 6-4, 250 – 4.3 GPA), <strong>Blake Wallace</strong> (WR/FS, 6-1, 170 – 2.7 GPA), and linebacker <strong>Evan Wiltse</strong> (5-9, 180 – 3.3 GPA).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>UNDERCLASSMEN WILL BE COUNTED ON – HEAVILY</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As that rising group of seniors will be needed to keep things going, the underclassmen will also have to step up – with the rising juniors (2026) such as <strong>Ben Llamas</strong> (Athlete, 6-0, 160 – 3.6 GPA), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1226469' first='Channing' last='Miller']</strong> (LB, 5-11, 193 – 4.553 GPA), <strong>Jayden Phipps</strong> (WR, 5-9, 160 – 3.6 GPA), and offensive lineman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1793435' first='Sebastian' last='Wagner']</strong> (6-3, 180 – 4.1 GPA).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Even the Class of 2027 has gifted performers with <strong>Derek Goulbourne</strong> (WR, 5-11, 145 – 3.557 GPA), <strong>Matthew Raiman</strong>, DT/OL, 6-1, 270 – 2.6 GPA), and cornerback <strong>Kai Sainmervil</strong> (5-9, 151 – 3.5 GPA).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Statewide Coverage Daily.</strong> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/florida/">https://prepredzone.com/florida/</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>You Can Contact Larry Blustein with prospect or team information at: </strong><a href="mailto:Floridakids1@aol.com">Floridakids1@aol.com</a>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
