District 6A-8 Preseason Glance

Class 6A, Region 2, District 8

Teams: (2014 record)
Auburndale Bloodhounds (6-5)
Lake Gibson Braves (9-2)
Lake Region Thunder (3-7)
Lake Wales Highlanders (8-3)
Sebring Blue Streaks (5-5)

 

2015 Outlook:
Welcome to the district-by-and-for-the “Lakes” in which two of those teams, (Gibson and Wales that is) are bonafide contenders along with ‘Hounds that can hunt big game over at Auburndale. Both Lake Gibson and Lake Wales find themselves in many preseason top ten rankings within the region and the state which bodes well for the fans, but may cause many a sleepless night for the staffs that have to navigate this group week-in and week-out. Things could get pretty exciting when the top three teams in this district begin to go to battle with each other. Who knows? A possible tiebreaker scenario may be necessary to decide this one.

 

Keep your eyes peeled for:
Auburndale: (RB)-Artavis Pierce, (RB)-Jessie Britt
Lake Gibson: (OLB)-Adrian “AJ” Deshazor, (T)-Baveon Johnson
Lake Region: (SS/WR)-Anthony Tyler, (DT/C)-Saul Cruz
Lake Wales: (WR/CB)-Mustafa Majeed, (CB)-Josh Dunn
Sebring: (ATH) Silas Berry, (DT/DE)-Kyle Howard
