Plant City residents won’t want to lose track of a popular event set for the first week of April.

RailFest 2016 will be chugging into town Saturday, April 2. This is the third year the family-friendly event has been held and the second time it has been hosted by the Robert W. Willaford Railroad Museum. In 2014, the City of Plant City hosted the event for the dedication of the rail museum.

Bennie Lubrano, executive director at the Robert W. Willaford Railroad Museum, said that this year’s event will have activities for train aficionados of all ages.

FOR THE KIDDOS

Like any good festival, RailFest 2016 will have the classic kid favorites: bounce houses, face painting, a balloon artist and cornhole.

But this year, a name for for the museum’s bright-red caboose, displayed on the yard of the museum, will be chosen from suggestions from train-loving tots. Children who attend KinderCare, A+ Learning, Kids’ World and First Baptist Church of Plant City, as well as special education students at Plant City High School, each received a train picture to color earlier this month.

Rescue Mission ill Gray spent a large part of the last week of February in a Plant City strawberry field.

But he wasn’t hunting down the perfect berry. Instead, he was trying to catch a very scared dog — one who looked like she’d been hit by a car.

Gray is the founder of Second Chance Boxer Rescue and Second Chance Friends. “We get all the crazies or special cases, like the ones that have to wear diapers,� Gray said.

Naturally, Gray was intrigued when he saw a picture of a boxer in a strawberry field on Lost and Found Pets of Hillsborough County. Everyone who saw the dog claimed that she wouldn’t let people get within 20 yards of her.

Gray couldn’t catch her in field by Cork and Booth roads either. On Feb. 29, he called Hillsborough County Pet Rescue Center, who came out and darted the dog.

Since then, the “strawberry field dog� — now lovingly called Lola — has been spayed, found to be heartworm negative and is living at Gray’s home. Lola is missing three vertebrae from her back and has to wear doggy diapers. Doctors believe she was born with the medical issues and that they didn’t stem for neglect.

As recovery continues, it’s possible that Lola could be rehomed to a family who would be able to take care of her special needs.

WLCA elections on the horizon Four are in the race for three board member spots.

EMILY TOPPER STAFF WRITER

Walden Lake residents will be able to vote for candidates for three available seats on the Walden Lake Community Association’s board of directors at a Thursday, April 14, election.

Each year, three seats become available, as each board member serves three-year terms. This year’s available seats are currently held by WLCA President Bob Hunter, Landscaping Chairman and Wedgewood President Ray Page and board member and former association president Rich Glorioso. All three men are running for re-election.

Alicia Powell, current president of the Parkwood subdivision, also has announced her candidacy for one of the three available slots. Powell is the only non-board member running.

Ballots will be mailed to Walden Lake residents early next week. Each ballot also will include a one-page biography for each candidate. On Monday, March 21, the WLCA voted that next year’s candidates will each submit a half-page biography instead.

Once ballots are mailed out, residents can return completed ballots to a lock box in the Walden Lake office on Griffin Boulevard, or they can submit their ballots in a self-addressed envelope in the mail.

Ballots also can be filled out at the Walden Lake annual meeting, which will be held Thursday, April 14, at Plant City Church of God. The winners will be announced that evening after the ballots are counted.

Prior to the election, candidates will be allowed to place campaign signs throughout the Walden Lake community, including on Griffin Boulevard and Timberlane Drive, though only 10 signs per candidate can be placed on the major roads. Within the Walden Lake community subdivisions, residents must adhere to the subdivision’s rules on signs before placing them in their yards. The same rules for signs applies to the community’s annual events, including back-to-school and Halloween parties.

It’s not just potential board members who will be on the Walden Lake ballot this year. Residents also will vote on whether or not the community should keep three parcels of land, including areas with wetlands that have the potential for future commercial development. The lots, located on Sydney Road, Alexander Street and Turkey Creek Road, are currently unused by the Walden Lake community. If the community votes to dispose of the lots, the WLCA board will determine if the land should be sold or donated.

“We need their permission first,” Hunter said. “We expect that the revenue from that can help us with a lot of the improvements in Walden Lake.”

Some of the upcoming improvements to the community include the potential use of reclaimed water, trimming back decaying trees on Timberlane Drive and further improvements to the Walden Lake polo field.

Prior to the election, the WLCA board will determine whether or not residents who have not paid their dues for the last three months will get to keep their voting eligibility. The board will make a decision later this week.

A book about the railroad museum’s dedication also will be auctioned off, and the copy will be signed by museum namesake Robert W. Willaford.

Willaford will be at the event all day and will bring along a maintenance rail car that once belonged to the United States Army. The car was first built in January 1945, and this is the first time that Willaford will present it to the public.

HISTORY The Florida Strawberry Festival will be the first organization to receive the Heritage Award.

IF YOU GO

EMILY TOPPER

AN EVENING OF PICTURE PERFECT MEMORIES WHEN: 6:30 p.m.

Thursday, March 31 WHERE: Plant City Photo Archives and History Center, 106 S. Evers St. COST: $100 per person DRESS: Black tie optional CALL: (813) 754-1578

Plant City might be small, but there’s one thing outsiders mention when they meet someone from the town of just over 36,000: the Florida Strawberry Festival.

With over half a million attendees at the 2016 festival, the 81-year-old event has made a name for itself in the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World.

Because of the festival’s deep roots in Plant City history, the Florida Strawberry Festival Association is the recipient of this year’s Heritage Award. The award is the top honor given out annually by the Plant City Photo Archives and History Center and will be presented to festival president Dan Walden at the organization’s annual soiree on Thursday, March 31.

“If you were writing a book on the history of Plant City, you would always include the festival,” President Ed Verner said.

This is the first year that the Photo Archives will give the award to an organization, rather than an individual. The first Heritage Award was given to D.E. Bailey, in 2004. The most recent recipient was Al Berry in 2015.

Each year, the award is given to someone with a longstanding impact in Plant City, who is involved with heritage or restoration and is generally beloved.

“I don’t think we’d make an exception for an institution again,” Verner said.

“Their history is intertwined with the city. … By preserving their own records, they’ve preserved many others.”

Photo Archives Executive Director Gil Gott and President Ed Verner had humble beginnings at the Photo Archives in 2000. The organization’s annual soiree will be held Thursday, March 31.

Throughout the years, the festival has made an effort to preserve its own history. Festival programs dating back to 1932 list the names of volunteers, prominent residents in Plant City as well as aspects of the city’s history — everything from the fashions of that year to then-popular agricultural practices. By documenting its own history, the festival has indirectly saved other parts of Plant City’s past.

“Their history is intertwined with the city,” Executive Director Gil Gott said. “Where else can you go and find information on all these things? By preserving their own records, they’ve preserved many others. That’s basically the history of the area. If you’ve saved the programs, you’ve saved a lot of history.”

Both the festival and the Photo Archives are in the process of going through the festival’s photos and digitizing them. Gott has been hired to assist with a history project for the festival, spanning all 80-plus years.

“When (festival General Manager) Paul Davis came on, he wanted to look

SNAPSHOT To date, the Plant City Photo Archives and History Center has over 100,000 photos that have been digitized. According to Presidengt Ed Verner, if each roughly 8-by-10 photo was printed and hung on 8-foot walls, they would stretch from Park Road, down Interstate 4 to Starbucks on Thonotosassa Road and back.

back,” Verner said. “He wanted to do something with all their old photos.

It’s a wonderful mirage. And, hopefully, it will bear more fruit.”

Verner also noted that while the festival has not necessarily contributed to restoration efforts, its impact is not lost on the community. Outside the month of March, dozens of civic organizations hold meetings, events and fundraisers on the festival grounds.

Furthermore, many Plant City resi-

dents who volunteer with the festival or serve on its board of directors are contributors to the city’s history and have their own merit titles: Citizen of the Year recipients, Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce chairmans, civic club presidents and more.

“Half the people on that list (of heritage winners) have been part of the festival,” Gott said.

The festival board members were surprised to find out that the festival was this year’s recipient.

“They were honored,” Gott said.

“They didn’t really expect it at all.”

The March 31 soiree is open to the public, but tickets are first come, first serve. Tickets can be purchased at the Plant City Photo Archives and History Center on Evers Street.

Quite a Ride After battling cancer last year, a beloved Area 6 bus driver has been chosen as this year’s Relay for Life honorary survivor.

SCHOOLING CANCER

EMILY TOPPER STAFF WRITER

The first time Kim Cannon heard the word cancer was on March 20, 2015.

It was a Friday. Cannon and her husband, Rick Moore, were at the doctor’s office. Moore had discovered what he thought was a swollen gland on his neck, but the antibiotics he had been prescribed had done nothing to reduce the swelling.

In fact, the lump was getting bigger.

But it wasn’t a swollen gland, as doctors later told the couple. It was squamous cell carcinoma — cancer.

And it was stage three.

“I was floored,” Moore said. “We weren’t expecting cancer.”

One year later, Cannon can still recite all the milestones of her husband’s treatment process.

March 30: Moore went in for his needle biopsy. He faced complications and bled out, leading to a fourday hospital stay. If the cancer was in his blood, it could spread to his entire neck.

April 7: Moore recovered from the bleed out. The mass lump was removed from his neck.

April 8: Plant City’s Relay for Life 2015. Though he had been released from surgery just hours before, Moore insisted on attending the overnight event. Moore and Cannon’s friend of over 20 years, Linda Herman, was that year’s Relay for Life leader.

This year, Moore will attend the Relay for Life event again.

But he’s not going as a cancer patient. He’s going as this year’s honorary survivor.

“You can survive this disease and have a positive attitude all the way through.”

— Rick Moore, 2016 Relay for Life honorary survivor

When he was diagnosed, Moore was working as a bus driver for Area 6 schools. Because Cannon and Herman both work in the school system, Moore frequently volunteered at school events, especially at Knights Griffin Elementary, where Herman is a teacher. His willingness to help whenever needed and his close relationship with the students who rode his bus made him beloved in the Hillsborough County school system.

His dedication, Herman said, was one of the main reasons that he was selected as this year’s honorary survivor.

“The committee gets together and discusses who would be a good representative,” Herman said. “We thought he would be a great fit.”

Moore is back on his bus route now, but he had to stop working temporarily when he went through radiation treatments and chemotherapy last year.

“I don’t like missing work,” Moore said. “That was really hard on me.”

Moore’s absence was noticed, both on his bus route and at Knights Griffin Elementary. As he began treatment, teachers and fellow bus drivers began donating their sick time hours to Moore, so that he would continue to be paid while he was out of work.

By the time he finished treatment, Moore had over 200 hours of sick time given to him. And he needed it — Moore went through chemotherapy once a week and had radiation five days a week.

His son, Tyler, drove him to the Center for Cancer Care and Research at Watson Clinic for his treatments.

While he received radiation, Moore would lie down with a plastic, porous mask over his face. He wasn’t allowed to move his head.

“Radiation is so precise,” Cannon said. “It only takes a few minutes, but it takes longer to get in the exact position.”

Receiving radiation wasn’t tough for Moore. He jokes that he can fall asleep instantly.

Emily Topper

Rick Moore, friend and relay volunteer, Linda Herman, and wife, Kim Cannon, stand next to his Area 6 school bus.

Still, he faced the side effects of the treatment. After some of his hair started falling out, he shaved his head.

He had nausea, bouts of depression and loss of appetite. For a long time, the only foods he could stand to eat were baked chicken, eggs and fish.

It wasn’t just eating that made him sick. The smell of food, even microwaved food from the other end of the house, made him feel ill. Cannon and the rest of Moore’s family frequently ate at restaurants or got takeout to avoid making Moore sick.

But the doctors, and Moore’s support system, helped. He was put on radiation treatments that made him less nauseated. Family and friends, including Cannon and Herman, kept him in good spirits. Before his chemotherapy treatment every week, Herman would make him a goodie bag full of everything he might need: t-shirts, good luck charms, blankets, gum and his favorite snack, circus peanuts.

The goodie bags came in handy during chemotherapy treatments.

Moore and Cannon brought treats for the nurses on his chemotherapy days.

“You can’t go in there with a bad attitude,” Moore said. “You’ve got to keep them laughing. They see people come in there that aren’t going to leave, and they keep a smile on their face. There are just great, great people over there.”

VICTORY LAP

Feb. 24, 2016: The first day in almost a year that Cannon could write off as a happy date.

A cancer-free date.

Remission.

Survival.

And just in time for Relay for Life 2016.

“When they told me, I looked at (Kim) and we both started crying,” he said. “We’re happy. We’ll take it.”

Now, Moore plans on supporting others who are facing his same battle.

At the 2016 Relay for Life, which will be held from Friday, April 8, to Saturday, April 9, Moore will make a speech and take a victory lap.

“Relay for Life is about raising money,” Herman said. “But the American Cancer Society is about more than just the cure. It’s about the support.”

The annual event has between 2,000 and 3,000 attendees. This year, 53 teams will be present, including one for Area 6 bus drivers and one for Knights Griffin Elementary.

“It’s just to spread the word,” Moore said. “You can survive this disease and have a positive attitude all the way through.”

Cannon said that the biggest difference she’s seen in her husband is his positive attitude. Though he’s always been a jokester and kept everyone laughing, he is now in positive spirits.

“Now we take time for things,”

IF YOU GO RELAY FOR LIFE 2016 WHEN: 6 p.m. Friday, April 8, to 12 p.m., Saturday, April 9 WHERE: Plant City High School, 1 Raider Place RICK’S INSPIRATION On the tough days, Relay Honorary Survivor Rick Moore looked to his mother. She had battled cancer in her late 70s, in early 2013, and beaten it. She recently celebrated her 80th birthday.

“She’s so tough,” Moore said.

“She’s my inspiration.”

Cannon said. “He’s stopped, and he’s taken time to notice things, people’s feelings and how they care about things.”

As always, there’s no guarantee that Moore will forever be cancer-free.

But for now, he’s enjoying the little things: his wife, his friends, his family and getting back on his bus.

AT A GLANCE Take a look at some of the modifications made during the Planning and Zoning meeting. n 947 units to 1,219 units n Yard setbacks of about five feet n More recreational open areas n Row of cottage-type lots with rear-alley access n Name change from North Park Isles Community District to the North Park Isles Planned Development District

RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT The proposed changes required an additional transportation study to be done on the community. The study was completed in February by Sprinkle Consulting Inc. and determined that, before the first certificate of occupancy is issued, lights must be installed: n A specialized dual northbound left turn lane at North Park Road and Sam Allen Road n A westbound right turn lane at North Maryland Avenue Additional requirements may be determined by Hillsborough County, or by the Florida Department of Transportation.

EMILY TOPPER STAFF WRITER

It was 2006 when the North Park Isles Community District was first approved for 397 acres at the end of Park Road.

But since then, Plant City residents said, things have changed about the future neighborhood.

Residents who live near the site spoke about their concerns with flooding and wetlands at the Planning Board meeting Thursday, March 17. The Planning Board approved a recommendation to the City Commission to allow the increase of the number of dwelling units in North Park Isles from 947 units to 1,219 units following comments from residents.

Principal Planner Phillip Scearce said that the City Commission will most likely review the modifications sometime in April, though the dates are subject to change.

“I’ve seen this type of thing many, many times,” Assistant City Engineer Terry Ritter said. “What I can tell you is that when you design these types of projects, you realize flooding is an issue. They do have to maintain some flood capacity on the site as they did before.”

Ritter added that he anticipates that flooding will not occur on the site.

“I have a lot of confidence in what they’ve done,” he added. “I believe the project can be done.”

Nate Kilton, who serves on the Planning Board, added that the project had already been approved and that the board was only reviewing a procedural change to determine if the modifications to the community would be consistent with the City of Plant City’s Comprehensive Plan.

Even if the Planning Board did not approve the modifications, which still must be approved by the City Commission, the owners of North Park Isles are still pre-approved to build 947 units.

“We’re only looking at the comprehensive plan,” Kilton said. “You’ve got such a beautiful property like this, but it’s a challenge being a few miles from the interstate. The dilemma is, how do we accomplish preserving environmental areas while still growing?

We’re trying to find that balance.”

WHAT ABOUT THE WETLANDS?

One of the primary reasons that construction in North Park Isles didn’t begin in 2006 was because the 397acre community consists of 291 acres of floodplains, 134 of which are wetlands. The area is mostly herbaceous in the center, and the western part of the property is the wettest.

Plant City resident Larry Granger has 20 acres adjacent to the property and is concerned about potential flooding, as natural ponds already overflow.

“These ponds won’t hold water that goes through there now,” Granger said. “It spreads over the whole property ... creeks and rivers can’t handle it.”

Laurie Milam has similar concerns.

She has 70 acres that back up to the North Park Isles property.

“My concern is the water,” Milam said. “We are flooded now when it rains. It’s impossible to drive back there during heavy rain. I don’t know if they can have enough ponds in there built to withstand water runoff.”

But, as the Planning Board told residents, building on wetlands must undergo strict regulations. All aspects of the building process for North Park Isles must be approved by the Hillsborough County Environmental Protection Commission, as well as other similar agencies.

272 MORE UNITS Though the community was first approved a decade ago, the housing market crash prevented the owners from beginning construction.

Because the price of development has increased, reducing the setbacks on each unit and increasing the number of units from 947 units to 1,219 in the community makes North Park Isles a viable project once again.

“It’s going to be a beautiful development, as long as we stay out of wetlands as best we can,” Devon Rushnell, who has been involved with the North Park Isles project since 2004, said.

When the community was first approved, North Park Isles had the traditional setbacks: n 60-by-80-foot lots n Setbacks of 20 feet in front of the lot n 10 feet on each side of the lot n 30 feet on the back of each lot As part of the Planning Board’s approval of the modifications to North Park Isles, the units in the community will have yard setbacks of about five feet.

“This has been a long journey. This is what we believe to be a very unique property in the making. This is a beautiful area of Plant City. We believe this will be a real tribute to Plant City.”

This year’s tournament saw 65 teams from around the country play about as much baseball as Plant City could handle. This included a tournament-record 67 games in the second week of play. Weeks 2 and 3, held March 5 to 19, saw the most action, with 51 teams coming to town.

Having spent the last decade working in high schools, Scott has probably had hundreds of kids tell him about the Michael Scott of television’s “The Office.”

But, like Steve Carell’s character, the Plant City coach now finds himself in charge after nine years as an assistant.

Previous head coach Greg Meyer, who took over in 2013, stepped down from the flag football position and will focus solely on his duties with the boys football team.

“Nine years goes by fast,” Scott says.

“I love PCHS, I’ve taught there for 11 years. I love our community. I’m very excited about this opportunity.”

Scott has plenty of coaching experience, even if this is his first shot as a head coach. Before coaching Lady Raiders flag football for the last nine years, he helped with the baseball team. Before Plant City, he spent two and one half years at East Bay, where he also coached baseball.

Although he’s excited to show what he can do calling the shots, Scott is

— Michael Scott, Lady Raiders flag football coach

Michael Scott is already familiar with his players and staff, but there may be no one he knows better than assistant coach Stephen Eatman.

Flag football isn’t the only sport that Scott and Eatman have coached together. In the 201213 school year, the two coached the Lady Raiders girls basketball team. In that case, Eatman was the head coach and Scott was an assistant.

Their history goes back well before their coaching days. Scott and Eatman were classmates in high school, both a part of Durant High School’s first-ever graduating class.

and moves on. She understands what the defense is giving her. She’s going to be poised beyond her years, this year.”

Other key players to watch, in Scott’s opinion, include a few returning starters.

Tytiana Carter, who led the team with 33 sacks last year, is back. Drew Knotts, who made second-team allconference at cornerback last year, will be back after missing the first few games with a broken finger. Bre Ruedeman and Lacey Hargrove are expected to have a great season.

“I feel really confident with the offense we have,” Scott says. “I don’t have a person I’m worried about, whether they’re going catch the ball or not.”

But, like Meyer, Scott is a defensiveminded coach and expects the stop unit to lead the way.

“That’s where we make our money,” Scott says. “We keep the score low, and we put pressure on their QBs, we can stay in games.”

Local fans can catch the varsity Lady Raiders in action at home at 7:30 p.m.

Where is football legend Bennie Coffee?

JUSTIN KLINE SPORTS EDITOR

Regular Plant City Times & Observer readers know that, every so often, I like to seek out Plant City’s most notable past athletes and write about what they’ve been up to lately.

As a sports history nerd, this is always fun for me. It’s mostly been about football and baseball players, but it’s always enlightening. And, in my case, it’s neat when you talk to someone who you’ve played as in sports video games over the years.

But, my efforts aren’t always successful. Some people haven’t returned my calls, and others simply don’t want anything to do with the media. That’s fine.

There is, however, one guy that I’m dying to get in contact with.

In fact, the reason I’m writing this column now is because I’m looking for any solid leads I can get.

Plant Citians that grew up in the late 1960s and early 1970s might

“For the moment, I’m just chasing one guy: the one guy that’s eluded me for months.”

remember hearing about a guy named Bennie Coffee. I learned about Coffee last year, when I was compiling photos and information for a historic feature in the 2015 Football Guide and immediately became interested in his story.

He starred for the Marshall High Dragons and, later, the Plant City Raiders. He went on to play linebacker at Florida A&M University and made a name for himself as one of the greatest Rattlers ever. He then made it to the NFL, signing with the Detroit Lions organization.

Since then, I’ve been trying to get a hold of him.

I’ve had no luck.

Among several sources, we’ve only been able to come up with one phone number — which wasn’t working. I’ve even spoken with his coach from the Plant City High days, Hank Sytsma, and I still wasn’t able to get a hold of Bennie.

I took a break after a while, planning to start again sometime this year. My plans for his story have changed, but my desire to speak with him has not.

I’m beginning work on a long feature about Plant City football’s most notable alumni that made it to (or just missed out on) the NFL. We live in an area that hasn’t lacked for athletic talent and, even in the handful of years I’ve been here, I’ve seen some incredible football players come through.

So I want to know the stories of the guys who parlayed their high school careers into something more or what could have happened had they been physically able to do so.

Whether it’ll be featured in our regular paper or in the 2016 Football Guide is still up in the air.

I’m not hurting for a list of athletes to talk to, or even for sources

WHAT’S ON KLINE’S MIND?

FAMILIAR FACE

There’s a good reason for those lofty expectations.

Last year, Meyer’s Lady Raiders finished the regular season undefeated.

The defense was almost able to say that it didn’t allow a single point all year, until Riverview scored in the final minutes of the final game. The offense was also on point, averaging nearly 28 points per contest.

The difference between last year and this year is that it’s not as easy to predict a similar season for Plant City.

Why? Because the 2015 team included 13 seniors, all of whom played key roles. Those 13 graduations left a lot of holes to fill in a lot of important positions. This year, some of those roles will be filled by girls getting the call up from junior varsity.

“They’re excited about finally getting a shot to play varsity,” Scott says.

“Some of them got called up last year.

They’re ready.”

Arguably the most important departure from the 2015 team is quarterback Avery Brown, whose play netted her a Plant City Times & Observer Athlete of the Week award and plenty of praise from Meyer. She’ll be replaced by Alicia Zarate, who is one of those senior JV call-ups.

“She’s one of those players that just has that ‘it’ factor,” Scott says.

“She doesn’t get flustered. When she makes a mistake, she forgets about it

quick to deflect attention away from himself.

“I’m just looking forward to seeing growth from the girls,” Scott says. “To me, it’s not about me — it’s about the girls. They have a lot of confidence in themselves, and they put high expectations on themselves. Their expectation is as high as you can get it.”

Assistant flag football coach Michael Scott has moved up to head coach for the 2016 Lady Raiders season.

Plant City’s flag football team is no stranger to success.

New head coach Michael Scott knows this: he’s worked with the team for nine years.

His new group of seniors knows this: some of those girls have just been called up from junior varsity, after waiting years to get this chance.

Now, after many of last year’s players were lost to graduation, the team isn’t looking to settle on a rebuilding year — it wants to stay successful.

“I’m excited to see if we can get them to buy into this year being the year,” Scott says. “Not next year.”

Area softball teams hot and cold

ERA, two shutouts, 11 earned runs and 120 strikeouts against 22 walks.

With softball season set to wrap up in a few weeks, the district pictures are just about all figured out.

STRAWBERRY CREST Strawberry Crest, with a 9-6 (3-1 district) record was, as of press time, only a game out of first place in the 8A-District 4 standings. The Lady Chargers got on a 5-2 run through the month of March, losing only to Plant (2-1) and Plant City (3-0).

Results from Thursday night’s game against first-place Wharton were not available at press time.

DURANT Durant was looking good with a 7-8 (4-3 district) record heading into March. The team had won six of its seven games.

But since, the Lady Cougars have gotten roughed up, dropping seven of eight and falling to the middle of the 8A-District 6 standings.

They did, however, pick up a 12-1 win at Bloomingdale on March 8, in which Karlie Reed went 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, a double and a walk.

PLANT CITY On the opposite end of the spectrum is Plant City, which had a 13-2 (5-1 district) record heading into Tuesday, March 22. The Lady Raiders had only lost one game since taking a 5-3 loss at Durant Feb. 12, which snapped a 10-game win streak.

Freshman pitcher Ashley Blessin has been excellent on the mound, sporting an 11-1 record with a 1.00

Antoine Thompson Football season might have ended in November, but Plant City wideout Antoine Thompson has been working as hard as ever. The junior’s recent performances in camps and combines netted him nine NCAA Division 1 offers this month — including one from his “dream school,” the University of Miami, last week.

Clearly, your film’s been making its rounds. A lot of people know exactly what you do well on the field. But where do you think you need to improve?

Mainly, attacking the football. I want to learn how to attack the football at the highest point and really show my size and my ability.

Huge offseason for you, with all of these D-I offers coming your way. You’ve always loved “the U,” and now they’ve offered you a scholarship.

What was that like?

It was sweet. I just went down there this past Tuesday, to the first padded practice and whatnot.

They offered me Tuesday. It was right after the visit.

You’re out there playing wideout and defensive back. What’s your preference?

Wide receiver, most definitely.

Last year, I had to jump in on defense, but this year, I’m going to play a big role on defense also.

Did you work out with them?

I didn’t work out with them. I watched practice, watched the way they do things and got to meet the new coaching staff.

STRAWBERRY CREST Armwood 7, Strawberry Crest 6

What’s it like, with Mark Richt coaching now?

He’s letting the players play loose, fast football. The intensity is up.

Sounds like you’re pretty happy about this, then.

That’s been my dream school since I was 5 years old. I was going to the Orange Bowl. Those experiences are always in your memory.

What’s going to influence your final decision?

It’s not about the offers. It’s about where I feel comfortable — where I fit in at. Where I’m going to get a big chance to play as a freshman.

Have any schools, other than Miami, made you feel that way yet?

I also went to UCF Wednesday, right after the Miami visit, and I had a blast over there. It was a sweet experience, my first time on campus. I like their offensive style, and they got coach Scott Frost from Oregon.

Quit attempts are much easier with help. Tobacco Free Florida AHEC Cessation Program provides free group counseling, which can double the success rate of quitting tobacco.

Let Tobacco Free Florida help you. Call 813-974-7889 to register for a group near you.

Based on what I saw, you only came off of the field for a couple of plays per game. How hard is that on your body?

Not really. I take care of my body when I’m at home. I eat proper foods and get good rest. I run track, so I do a lot of running.

What’s your favorite game day meal?

Baked chicken, rice and green beans.

What sports have you not tried, but always wanted to?

I always wanted to try baseball.

I like stealing the bases — that’s pretty cool.

Who’s your favorite athlete?

Antonio Brown, from the Steelers. I look up to him. I just watch him on YouTube all the time. He’s probably the best route runner in the NFL right now.

Is Pittsburgh your team?

No, I just like Antonio Brown. I actually grew up as a New England Patriots fan. I played for the Dover Patriots in little league.

What NFL team would you most want to play for?

Tampa Bay Bucs. I want to be at home, where everybody could come watch me.

You’ve already been doing events all over the place this offseason. What’s on your plate next?

Really, just the grind. I want to be the number one receiver in the state of Florida — in the nation, really — so I’m just going to keep grinding, keep working toward that.

There was one game last season where you wore Clemson gloves, which I got a photo of, so I wasn’t sure where you stoof within the ACC. I’m assuming you didn’t show that picture to coach Richt. Nah. I just got the gloves from my teammate, Tavares Chase.

I look up to him. He taught me a lot about the game of football.

Wearing dreads, wearing jersey number 3 and Clemson gloves — that’s almost exactly what T.J. looked like in his sophomore year too.

Hey, but my film is nasty too. I had a great year last year. We went 11-2, made it to the third round of the playoffs.

This year, I hope that we go to states. Stay tuned.
