Jensen Beach Wants More In '24

While the 2023 season didn't end the way Jensen Beach head coach Tim Caffey and his football team had planned, the 9-2 season and district title will certainly serve as motivation, heading into 2024.   With spring under way, the Falcons have some quality talent in all classes and the loss in the opening round of the state playoffs to Rockledge (19-16) will only be a motivator to run it back again this coming season.   Remember, this is a team that posted four consecutive shutouts to start the season and six in the 11 games, so there is plenty of talent on board.   With a full off-season planned, it's the rising senior class (2025) who will lead the way.
