Pugh’s View: There’s going to be quite a bit of buzz surrounding the Bucs and the heralded (and well-deserved) Nelson Agholor this season. Their district contains two extremely improved Tampa Catholic and CCC teams, but they have some questions themselves to answer. The offensive/defensive lines were full of seniors and playmakers, but Head Coach Dominick Ciao is a legend in the county and him and his staff will certainly find the way to do so. There’s a hot debate amongst the staff at BCP as to who will represent this district as the champs on march on in the playoffs. One of us sees green, the other blue.  This team has more than enough potential to be playing in Orlando this December.

Must Have: Open running lanes for Agholor and keep QB Destin Nichols healthy. Other contributers such as Miles and Barnes must have their games raised just a little bit higher than last fall. They’ll be key components for BP.

Uh-Oh: Nelson cannot do it all by himself, so naturally if this turns into a one-man operation it might not go according to plan for Berkeley.
