Frostproof Will Be Back Again

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To say that the 2023 season was indeed strange for the Frostproof Bulldogs would certainly be an understatement.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite jumping out to a 5-1 start, veteran head coach <strong>Richie Marsh</strong> and his football team won just once in the last four games, and even though they made the playoffs, the season was truly not what most expected.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seven-point losses to Mulberry (14-7) and rival Fort Meade (20-13) stood in the way of winning a district title and perhaps an 8-1 regular season. Instead, the team ended up 6-4 with a first-round state playoff game loss on the road at Englewood Lemon Bay.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When they headed into the off-season, there was a strong feeling that 2024 would be different – even thought there were some losses – but after a strong spring and anticipation of a productive summer – 2024 will be a year to get back on track.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If they are to be successful, it will be all about the rising senior (2025) class that features some talented and experienced leaders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some of the players expected to step up:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Corben Boyd, FB/LB, 5-8, 190 – 3.0 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: </strong><a>https://www.hudl.com/profile/21081052/Corben-Boyd?</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Antonio “TJ” Cobb, WR/CB – 2.5 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: </strong><a>https://www.hudl.com/profile/18390291/Antonio-Cobb</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Landon Fuller, QB/FB/LB, 5-10, 195 – 3.0 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18029728/Landon-Fuller" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hudl.com/profile/18029728/Landon-Fuller</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaden Gammage, OL/DL, 5-10, 270 – 2.5 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: </strong><a>https://www.hudl.com/profile/18501719/Jaden-Gammage?</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='831335' first='Jatavius' last='Ward'], FB/DE, 6-1, 215 – 2.8 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: </strong><a>https://www.hudl.com/profile/17613258/Jatavius-Ward</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>AWAITING SPRING VIDEO</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maurice Blakley, WR/DB, 5-11, 160 – 3.0 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Donte Daniels, RB/DB, 5-10, 175 – 2.45 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Evan Steedley, OL/DL, 6-1, 275 – 2.5 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>CLASS OF 2026 OFFERS SOME TALENT AS WELL</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With Class of 2026 (rising juniors) and 2027 (rising sophomores), this is a team that figures to be in the playoff mix.
