    Holy cow, I just realized he is the little brother of one of my old players(travel ball)....Jordan Delucia, who played at Bethune Cookman. Jordan played at Spruce Creek HS, I guess they moved down to NSB. Stupid that I never matched the last names lol

    I’ve said this before—Bianco is from Florida, he played JUCO ball here before LSU. He is very well aware of the baseball talent in Florida.

    Yeah, you definitely have. My take is that he’s taking good kids and developing them.

    my take is we missed in a major way on Nikhazy

    Local assistant football coach Owen Davidson turned 80 and had a little celebration.....

    The reference to "Stingray" is from our Junior High School mascot. The High School mascot is "Barracudas" - or "Cudas" for short....
