2013 ALL BCP

Player of the Year: DEIONDRE PORTER, JEFFERSON 2014 QB
Porter becomes the 6th winner of this award. The Award is presented to the most impressive area (Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas and Polk County) player based on overall season production and BIG GAME performances. Previous award winners include:

2008 – Dontae Aycock, QB, Chamberlain, Sr
2009 – James Wilder Jr., LB/RB, Plant, Jr
2010 – Quentin Williams, QB, Jefferson, Sr
2011 – Alvin Bailey, Armwood, Jr
2012 – Will Worth, Newsome, Sr

Versus Hillsborough, Porter accounted for 249 pass yards and 3 TDs. He threw for 196 yards, rushed for 149 yards and 1 TD in the regular season game against Armwood. On the road in round 1 of the state playoffs, Porter carried his team from behind with a 450 yard and 4 TD performance. Going down with a fight, Porter ended his career at Armwood where he passed for 456 yards and 6 TDs. His big game performances were just that, BIG!

Deiondre Porter, from Jefferson High School was named as overall winner from an initial list of 18 athletes that was later shortened to 5 area athletes. Porter finished the season with 3199 passing yards, 33 passing TDs, 1499 rushing yards and 20 rushing TDs. Porter led his team to a 10-2 2013 season record. Losing two games to one team (Armwood).

Jefferson head football coach, Jeremy Earle had this to say about Porter: “He is a special talent who dominated on the field, thrived at competition and demanded excellence from teammates. Deiondre’s performance this year will be difficult to ever surpass.”

Porter concludes his high school career completing 60% of his passes for 7365 yards, 77 passing TDs, 2035 rush yards and 27 TDs. This season he was #1 in our area in pass yards and passing TDs. He was #4 in rushing yards and rushing TDs. Porter accounted for 95% of Jefferson’s passing yards and 54% of the Dragon’s rushing yards.

Porter is currently a University of South Florida verbal commit and we should hear a ton about him during his college career.

 

Offensive Player of the Year: RAY-RAY McCLOUD, SICKLES 2015 RB
Area leader in rushing yards (2316), McCloud was more than just a ball carrier. He was a PROBLEM promised to occur for the opposing defense.

This year, McCloud set the standard for running backs. He rushed for 200 plus yards in 5 games this season. He rushed for 150 plus yards in 10 games this season. Yes, he amassed a ton of yards, but showed how durable he was by carrying the ball 300 times this season. He averaged 7.7 yards per carry and an astonishing 178 yards per game. What is frightening, McCloud returns next season!

 

Defensive Player of the Year: JOSH BLACK, SICKLES 2014 DL
Josh Black posted “James Wilder Jr” type numbers this year and was the most disruptive force on the field each game he played in. It did not matter where Black lined up; his presence was felt at all times. He played outside linebacker, inside linebacker and defensive end. But, he shined at defensive tackle where he played right over the ball and had a better chance to make a play no matter which way the offense went with the ball.

Black totaled double digit tackles in four of the 13 games this year. He had multiple tackles for loss in 8 games this year. For the season, Black totaled 103 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, 20 sacks and 3 caused fumbles. He created opportunities for the offense to take over on downs and helped change the field position by sacking the passer or tackling the ball carrier behind the line of scrimmage.

 

Specialist Player of the Year: STERLING HOFRICHTER, ARMWOOD 2015 K/P
It is sometimes difficult to explain the importance of a good kicker. Let’s take a shot at it anyways. A good kicker can change the field position for the opponent. He/she can get the defense out of a bind, add points on the scoreboard, solidify a win, chop away at a led and even win the game.

Armwood’s Sterling Hofrichter did all of thee above. Of his 87 kickoffs, 67 were touchbacks. Of his 975 punt yards; he averaged 36.11 yards per kick. He kicked 71 PATs and made 99% of them (missed 1). He made 9 of 14 field goals with a long of 57. The kicker scored 97 of Armwood’s 567 points this season. He was a great defender and Armwood’s leading scorer.

 

Coach of the Year: SEAN CALLAHAN, ARMWOOD
Armwood went 14-0 before being defeated in the 6A state title game by Miami Central. Not unusual for Armwood to win that amount of games. But to win that quantity of games, where 13 of the 15 games COUNTED, is easier said than done. The Hawks were placed in a 9 team district where 3 other teams were playoff teams the previous year. Being able to rally the troops week in and week out, making them understand the importance of each game on the schedule and winning all 8 district games, 2 additional regular season games and 4 playoff games, is impressive. Having to replace the quarterback, half of the offensive line and half of the defense and still compete for a state title is nothing short of remarkable.

OG MONTEL MCBRIDE PLANT CITY 2014 Strong upper and lower body, confident, bullish and a monster of a lineman.
OC RICHARD BUSH PLANT 2014 Ask any Plant coach and they will likely tell you, Bush may have the highest football IQ on the team. Played every position on the offensive line in his career.

1st Team Defense
Pos. Name School Class
DE JUSTUS REED CLEARWATER CENTRAL CATH. 2014 The Florida commit played up to expectations this season. Not often slowed down by the opponent, Reed racked up 13 sacks, 19 TFLs and 5 caused fumbles.
DE SHAVAR MANUEL BLAKE 2016 No defensive end got to the passer better. 19 sacks says it all. Add 6 TFLs and you have a QB’s nightmare.
DE DEVEN SANTANA SICKLES 2014 Little attention. But big production: 7.8 tackles per game, 14.5 sacks, 19 TFLs and 5 caused fumbles.
DE JORDAN EDWARDS LAKEWOOD 2015 Edwards ended the season with 21 sacks and 99 tackles. Built a small tent in opponents backfields this year. *Late addition by the Editor. BCP mistake with original omission.

DT ANDRE WASHINGTON STEINBRENNER 2016 Just a sophomore, but growing confidence. Washington went off this season for 11 sacks  and 11 TFLs.
ILB ANDREW BECK PLANT 2014 Beck was the center piece of the Panther defense. Created a new line of scrimmage 33 times with his total number of TFLs. Accounted for 60 solo tackles and 7 sacks.
ILB JUWAUN BROWN JEFFERSON 2014 Hard to look past a linebacker with 31 tackles behind the line of scrimmage and 12 sacks. Brown was super active in Jefferson’s upfield style defense and made the offense work for every yard earned.
ILB MATT CHANEY STRAWBERRY CREST 2014 26 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, 7.5 sacks and 88 solo tackles, Chaney attacked ball carriers like a missile.  Highly productive and active each game.
OLB KYLE BRITTAIN CLEARWATER CENTRAL CATH. 2014 You could likely find a more athletic stud or a better college prospect. However, it would be tough to find a more ALL AROUND productive OLB: 84 solo tackles, 3 INTs, 10 TFLs and 21 PDs

S BRUJOUN BONNER LAKEWOOD 2014 Safeties are asked to do two things, 1) Protect the defense “Deep” and 2) Be instrumental in run support. Bonner did both in a big way. 9 interceptions and 144 tackles.
S DEVIN ABRAHAM EAST LAKE 2014 Safeties are asked to do two things, 1) Protect the defense “Deep” and 2) Be instrumental in run support. Abraham did both in a big way. 6 interceptions and 74 tackles. Add 6 TDs either on defense or special teams.
CB DEVIN DUCKETT WIREGRASS RANCH 2014 8 interceptions will make you look him up. Once you see his film and realize the kid can really play and is a sleeper CB prospect, you may like him even more. Solid tackler also with 43 tackles this year.
CB WILLIE CONLEY TAMPA CATHOLIC 2014 The best CB, few people talk about. Had an interception in 6 of the 13 games TC played in this year. 7 INTs on the season and 19 pass defended.
UTILITY CHAVEZ POWNELL JEFFERSON 2014 Did so much in a big way!  Caught 809 yards worth of passes, intercepted 5 passes, made 41 solo tackles and scored 7 TDs. Pownell was a monster and had to be accounted for.
ATH DERWIN JAMES HAINES CITY 2015 Played several different positions on the field and was outstanding at all.  Locked down some of the better receivers in Polk County, hit like a truck from the safety position and scored at will on offense.
ATH DARION STATON LAKE WALES 2015 919 all-purpose yards, 12 TDs and 2 INTs. Arguably the best CB in Polk County.
