Look For Winter Park Again

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's tough to argue with the success of Winter Park over the years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Wildcats have been able to stay in the playoff mix nearly every season, and after a 9-1 year, they are determined to finally get over the hump.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Head Coach <strong>Tim Shifflet </strong>and his staff went unbeaten in 2023 after a 10-2 season in 2022, and while the year ended in a setback to eventual state 4M runner up Jacksonville Mandarin, there was a feeling that the talent coming back was enough to make that dream come true.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is no getting around the fact that football in the central Florida area has raised the bar to a level where it is as good as any area in the state, and the Wildcats are a huge part of it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at the rising senior (2025) class that has the talent and experience to make things happen this coming season as spring and summer will only get the prospects better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cameron Clark, OL,
