Yes, head coach Cory Johns and this football team finished 8-5, but all five of those setbacks came to either state-rated or national teams.
While it came as a surprise to some to some that they advanced three rounds deep in the playoffs, think about the losses that they suffered. Two to 3S state finalists Daytona Beach Mainland and St. Augustine, national power Bradenton IMG Academy, and to Gainesville Buchholz – twice, the second in the state 4S playoffs.
As they left the 2023 season, this is a team that believed with a few breaks, things could have gone differently, but instead of dwelling, the focus quickly turned to 2024.
With spring right around the corner, this program feels that they are ready to contend once again.
With a quality rising senior (2025) class, the Bears have impressive football talent on both sides of the ball.
Here is a look at some of those 2025 prospects:
Tristan Allen, DB, 5-9, 170 – 2.79 GPA.
De’andre Caldwell, WR, 6-0, 175 – 2.76 GPA.
Neko Dawkins, RB, 5-9, 190 – 2.45 GPA.
James Deleo, WR, 5-10, 150 – 2.4 GPA.
Jacob Ducker, LB, 5-11, 190 – 3.91 GPA.
Tyler Flack, OL, 6-5, 270 – 3.37 GPA.
Jimmy Huck Jimmy Huck 6'3" | 285 lbs | OL St. John's Bartram Trail | 2025 FL , OL, 6-3, 280 – 3.6 GPA.

STRONG UNDERCLASS NEEDS A CHANCE
With a gifted rising senior class, there is also a belief that the rising juniors (2026) and rising sophomore class (2027) are more than ready for the challenge.
Here are some of those 2026 and 2027 players to keep an eye on:
Colby Dean, TE, 6-0, 205 – 3.33 GPA.
Arthur Lewis, IV, RB, 5-10, 160 – 2.98 GPA.
Tamajh Mitchell, DB, 5-10, 145 – 3.57 GPA.
Joel Raggins, DB, 5-11, 180.
