Heading down to Lehigh tonite to cover @CHSTarponFB for @Sun_Preps.
This past weekend, @ODUFootball QB @haydnwolff played his "most physical game" against Liberty as he used motivation from southwest FL to fuel him. Wolff will sport the flag of FL on his helmet and '941 Strong' on his wristband going forward. #SunPreps yoursun.com/sun_preps/keep…
Good stuff, folks ... check it out in Thursday's print editions or at SunPreps.com later tonight. Jacob will also be covering Friday's PC game at Manatee so give him a folo for updates on Friday if you haven't already. #SunPreps
First story written in over 2 years. Look in tomorrow’s @Sun_Preps for a look into the size and strength of the @PortCharlotteFB offensive line. Feels good to be writing again even if it’s sparingly.

So happy for this young man!!! He is going to do great things @ZackSessa #ITSJUSTDIFFERENTHERE
Greetings from Wildcat Stadium in Wauchula where Hardee plays host to DeSoto in the 103rd meeting of the state’s oldest continuous rivalry. A rare Saturday start, dodging last night’s rain. Follow along here. This is your game thread. #SunPreps
Tonight I’ll be photographing what should be a great game between @CHSTarponFB vs @DunbarHighFL for @Sun_Preps
Really proud of this one. Thank you @VJPortell
Football is much more than game for @hloganp03, maybe more so than anyone will understand. With the standout @CHSTarponFB senior linebacker wanting to pursue his passion at the next level, it begs the question: Why has no one given him an offer yet? yoursun.com/sun_preps/foot…

It's finally here: Port Charlotte vs. Charlotte football How did the rivalry start? Best pranks along the way? And, one of our writers predicts a blowout. PLUS: American Heritage at Venice, Lemon Bay keeps rolling, and more. soundcloud.com/user-218536337…
@ByJacobHoag @Sun_Preps First year head coach Cyril Brockmeier has a great story if you need one. He’s a former Charlotte Tarpon. Played at Tulane. Coached at Dartmouth and Tulane!
