<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Winter Haven controlled this game from start to finish. An early Thunder touchdown was wiped off the board by penalties, and that theme carried all night. Lake Region showed flashes of talent, but the Blue Devils were too balanced on both sides of the ball, cruising to a 35-0 win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Winter Haven Standouts</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1581696' first='Michael' last='Kearney III'] | QB | 2026 | @BelieveInK3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kearney keeps showing why he's the centerpiece of this offense. The dual-threat QB scored three touchdowns, looked sharp as a passer, and made smart reads all night. He's building real momentum ahead of a big Week 2 matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Khamari Campbell | ATH | 2027 | @KhamariC2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>My defensive MVP. Campbell opened the night with a pick-six, then added another interception for good measure. His instincts and ball skills give him clear breakout potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1681432' first='Lorenzo' last='Jones'] | DB | 2028 | @lusiosk10405</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones made his presence felt with an interception and solid coverage throughout the night. Still young and developing physically, but his instincts and energy stand out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1704139' first='Andrew' last='Simpson'] | RB | 2026 | @drew_ski0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simpson brings spark to this offense. He looked explosive between the tackles and continues to develop as a versatile, do-it-all back. Emerging as a leader for this group.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vario McBride | ATH | 2028 | @hbk_dmarrr</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McBride flashed his versatility with a fumble recovery and several tackles. A 2028 with a college offer already, he's just scratching the surface and can be deployed in multiple ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1861817' first='Jakari' last='Faniel'] | RB | 2029 | @4presidenttt</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The freshman ran hard every time he touched the ball and capped the night with a touchdown that had the sideline fired up. A young name to keep tabs on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notable Trenches:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1790432' first='Jedgar' last='Otero'] | 2026</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Javaughn Frazier Jones | 2027</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lake Region Standouts</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1640209' first='Jermaine' last='May'] | ATH | 2026 | @_2JermaineGw</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most talented prospects on the roster. May showed his fluidity and instincts at DB, while also flashing at WR. He needs touches on offense—wherever they can find them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Iverson Brandon | RB | 2026 | @5starAI</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brandon runs with toughness and downhill power. A true bell cow back with upside as he continues to develop into a college prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Najeh Miller | ATH | 2026 | @najeh_miller</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miller has WR1 upside. Big frame, physicality, and the ability to swing over to DB when needed. He played hard on both ends and gives Lake Region a matchup piece.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Le'Aundre Copeland | ATH | 2026 | @Clampzdre</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Copeland brought energy from the start. His raw DB talent is obvious, and with more technical polish and speed work, his ceiling is very high.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tory Dopson | S | 2026 | @ToryDopson9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A versatile safety who lined up in multiple spots and competed hard. Physical, competitive, and one of those glue guys who makes a defense better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Winter Haven controlled this game from start to finish. An early Thunder touchdown was wiped off the board by penalties, and that theme carried all night. Lake Region showed flashes of talent, but the Blue Devils were too balanced on both sides of the ball, cruising to a 35-0 win.
