2015 Outlook
Another competitive three-team district that will come down to crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s if you want to make it to the postseason. Although Berkeley Prep has seen some changes, they will still have the likes of Jacob Mathis, Gordon Stetson and Bo Peek and will be well coached as always. Lakeland Christian must replace some serious offensive firepower from last season, but will have Tyler Wilkerson at QB and the explosive Ben Sirmons in the backfield. Tampa Catholic is loaded with talent everywhere you look on the roster, but will have to get it done in the trenches if they want to ultimately get beyond week eleven and into the second weekend of November. All of the teams in 3A-North are perhaps just in the way of the juggernaut that is Jacksonville-Trinity Christian if they want to make a run a state title, but it’s safe to say these teams are a little more focused on the present rather than the future.
