Lakewood High School coach Cory Moore plans to bring his team to the game. Marques Valdes-Scantling’s former high school coach said: “It’s a wonderful chance to see young guys they’ve actually touched before and how they’ve transitioned. It gives our young guys a standard, something to shoot for.” Hopefully more high school coaches in Florida will do the same.
On another note, here is an interesting human interest story about a kid from Jarvis “the rabbit catcher” Byrd’s (#1) hometown of Pahokee, FL. I’ve been to Pahokee many times, and I’m truly amazed at what some of these young men have accomplished, especially Jarvis with his ACL setbacks.
It’s a good read. Give it a shot if you have a little time.
