Azaria Santos was born fighting for her life.

Born three months premature, she weighed only 1 pound, 15 ounces. Her grandmother, Rudyne Lee, could hold Azaria in the palm of her hand.

In those volatile early weeks, Azaria nearly died four times and spent the first three months of her life in the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Joseph’s Hospital, in Tampa.

Although she was too young to remember, the now 9-year-old has heard stories about the tumultuous beginning to her life. Her lungs were

“It’s a miracle she’s alive,” Lee says.

So for Christmas, Azaria has de-

cided to bring a little miracle to the premature babies at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Out of pocket, Azaria’s family bought 10 stuffed bears to give to families going through a similar situation this holiday season.

The fuzzy bears cozy up in a colorful stocking along with a picture of Azaria and a letter written by the Burney Elementary third-grader.

“It is a miracle from God that I am living,” Azaria wrote. “This is a gift for you to show I care about you.”

Attention Walden Lake residents: Want to own your own golf course and country club?

If so, your chance may be coming.

For the first time since the battle between Walden Lake residents and Walden Lake Golf & Country Club owner Visions Golf LLC erupted last summer, Walden Lake Community Association leaders have broached the subject of buying the amenities altogether.

At the WLCA’s Dec. 16 meeting, President Jan Griffin asked newly appointed Director Rich Glorioso to put together a committee to study the option. The idea for originated from a resident, who contacted Griffin and requested the WLCA send a questionnaire to residents asking them whether they would want to purchase the golf course.

At first glance, it seems the most vocal opponents of Visions Golf’s redevelopment plans would leap at the chance to own the amenity. However, with no concrete numbers available, WLCA directors don’t know just how much it would cost to purchase the property and, more importantly, to improve and maintain it.

Glorioso said the first step would be to conduct a factfinding mission to determine answers for some of the questions residents will ask.

Tomlin FFA team named finalists at 2013 National FFA Agriscience Fair Caroline Brummer and Mackenzie Steele presented a project about different types of food packaging.

Science is Tomlin Middle School student’s MacKenzie Steele’s least favorite subject. But, that didn’t stop her and her teammate, Caroline Brummer, from becoming finalists in the 2013 National Agriscience Fair at the 86th National FFA Convention and Expo. In

fact, the eighth-graders also gained a little appreciation for the subject.

“I thought it was something fun,” Steele said. “It was a little extra challenge.”

The students placed seventh at the competition, which took place Oct. 30,

in Louisville, Ky. To qualify for the competition, they had to first be selected as the state winner at their state agriscience fairs and earn national competition eligibility after being placed in the top 15 within their respective categories.

They also had to present scientific research in the fields of animal systems,

in loving memory by Justin Kline | Staff Writer

COMMUNITY

Haught service offers time to remember Walden Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be tough, especially during the holiday season.

At Haught Funeral Home, directors Howard Johnson and David Wolf helped Plant City residents manage their grief with a Service of Remembrance Dec. 10, in the funeral home’s chapel.

“Most folks aren’t real good at talking about death under any circumstance, let alone over the holiday,” Wolf said.

“A big mistake people make is avoiding mentioning people who died, thinking it will upset people. If you think a woman’s not thinking of her late husband over the holiday, you’re mistaken.”

Leading up to this event was the completion of the funeral home’s annual Angel Tree display. Every Dec. 1, the Haught staff adds a Christmas tree to the main lobby and provides angel ornaments for guests to hang.

Those who placed angels on this tree did so in remembrance of a lost loved one by writing the deceased’s name

on the front.

Wolf and Johnson, an ordained minister, have hosted this event for the past three years and have seen the size of the audience grow each time.

“We had maybe five people show up the first year and 30 last year,” Wolf says. “This time of year, we’d do it if we had only two people show up — those two people need it.”

More than 40 people attended this year’s service.

Johnson spoke of grief management and maintaining hope, keeping things simple — but effective.

“We can go for days without having food,” Johnson told the audience. “We can go just a few days without having water. But, I don’t think we can go one moment without having hope.”

Wolf and Johnson then read aloud the names of all of the families Haught has served in 2013 and the names of the angels on the tree. They finished the service by lighting a candle in memory of each angel and provided food and

The reception was positive, with many in the audience calling it a “healing” experience.

“It was a good service,” resident Adam Bryan says.

“It was something I felt like I needed to do.”

CHRISTMAS TRADITION by Amber Jurgensen | Associate Editor

O HOLY NIGHT

Plant City’s First Baptist Church put on quite a spectacular Dec. 13 to 15.

The church’s annual Light of Christmas show celebrated the season using theatrics, a grand choir, soloists, dancing and the classic nativity scene.

Angels descended upon the audience and lights glowed and flickered to the sound of an orchestra.

After more than a decade, Walden Lake On-Site Manager Tom Daramus is resigning from his post, effective January.

Daramus submitted his resignation Dec. 2, to the Walden Lake Community Association.

“I have given this a lot of consideration and there are several reasons, both personal and professional that make this the right decision for me at this time,” Daramus said in a letter to the board. “The last 12 years have been, for the most part, a very good run for me, and, I hope, for the association and the community.

I’ve met a lot of great people, and Mike and I thank you for the opportunity to be such an integral part of the community.”

Daramus has worked as the manager for 12 years.

Throughout his time at Walden Lake, he has become a familiar face in the neighborhood.

“He’s a friend to the community, and I think he will remain a friend to the community,” WLCA President Jan Griffin said.

There’s no doubt Daramus will remain a fixture. In his letter, he said he has no immediate plans to move out of Walden Lake, where he resides with his wife, Mike.

However, more trips may be in their future. He mentioned traveling.

But, Daramus will not be retiring. Although he didn’t disclose his professional goals, he said he will no longer be working in the property-management business.

His last day will be Jan. 3, 2014.

“I plan to use next month to finish up some projects and, hopefully, make for a smoother transition,” Daramus said.

Daramus is an employee of Associa, an association management company that serves all types of communities, from condos to masterplanned neighborhoods.

Because he is employed by

Associa, his replacement will be hired by the company and not the board.

Griffin hopes the board will have some input over a potential candidate, although she’s not sure how much.

“If you have a working relationship with someone, you need to have some input,” she said.

Andrew Fortin, senior vice president of external affairs at Associa, said hiring protocols vary by branch but the board won’t be completely left out of the decision-making process.

“I think that what they would do is sit down with the board and find out what strengths the last employee had,” Fortin said. “Especially if they were well-liked. They were like the face of the community. We would want to get someone who is a good fit with the community’s culture.”

By all accounts, Daramus did his job well.

“He’s been an excellent employee,” Griffin said. “We’ll miss him tremendously.”

HEART / PAGE 1 Azaria reads the letter with grace.

Reading and writing are her strong subjects in school. The once-fragile girl has grown up to be a strong, thriving student. Azaria has been on the principal and high honor roll lists since the first grade. She’s also earned perfect attendance and a citizenship award.

In addition to the language arts, Azaria loves to be crafty. She started making rubber-band bracelets for her friends and family. She wants to keep making the brightly colored jewelry pieces for premature babies. Azaria plans to distribute them not only at Christmas time but also throughout the year.

“It’s ongoing with how her spirit goes with these things,” Lee says. “She’s very quiet and shy but aware and has ideas.

She’s very thoughtful of others.”

Azaria came up with her charitable idea two months ago, after making bracelets. She was in bed when she decided bears would be the perfect holiday gift for the babies. Buzzing with enthusiasm, Azaria told her grandmother about the project.

Lee’s eyes teared up, her heart touched by Azaria’s idea. She told Azaria to go write down her thoughts and a plan for the idea.

“I thought it was such a magnificent idea for her to think about those kids,”

to conduct an experiment and present a board on their research and findings.

For the layout, the team got creative, creating a board that looked like a giant PowerPoint presentation slide.

A panel of judges also asked each student five questions about the project.

“I was mostly worried about the questions,” Brummer said. “I had no idea what they would ask me. But, they turned out to be easy.”

Brummer has been in FFA for three years. It was the blue corduroy jackets that caught her eye in fifth-grade. From then on, she was determined to join the ranks of FFA competitors.

“I like the CDE competitions,” Brummer said. “It’s just fun to compete with a team.”

Steele got involved in FFA through her STEM class in seventh-grade. Agriscience was one her classes she was taking.

“I like the public-speaking aspect,” Steele said. “It’s really helped me blossom with my public speaking.”

Both students want to continue their FFA careers next year in high school.

Lee says. “It’s a wonderful thought in her mind to think about the babies.”

Azaria had grown up knowing the story of her birth. The thoughts swirled in her as she planned her charity.

“They told me how small I was and I was like, ‘Wow, that is small,’” Azaria says. “I feel happy that I’m not sick anymore and don’t have all that like when I was little.”

From there, the duo went to the store to pick up the teddy bears. At first, they tried putting the bears into bags, but stockings suited the season better.

They also made a red and green poster proudly displaying the name of Azaria’s new charity, Azaria’s Hope for the Preemies.

Azaria and Lee will deliver the bears before Christmas. Azaria is looking forward to seeing the babies the most.

“Some of the nurses that were there when you were born may still be there,” Lee told Azaria. “She didn’t want to stay in mama’s tummy.”

Azaria just smiles.

With the help of doctors, family and faith, Azaria is an energetic child.

But she does have some advice that any person should take, regardless of whether they were premature or not.

“I wish you the best as you grow from day to day; by eating food, think smart, love family and others,” Azaria wrote.

“A lot of residents know what is going on, but some of them don’t know what is going on,” he said.

“So, they have to know the pros and cons of buying the golf course. ... How do you buy it from (Visions Golf)? How do you pay for it? What’s the cost?

“Our housing values are going down already,” he said. “If there is no golf course here, they are going to tank some more. In two years, they’re going to start building up in Cone Ranch. There’s going to be a big sucking sound coming out of Walden Lake, as people move out of here and go up there. And then, your housing values are going to fall more. So, that’s the bad side of it.

“The good side is if we can purchase it, would you be willing to pay to keep your housing values the way they are and have a nice country club?” Glorioso said.

The board discussed several logistical issues, including the wording of the questionnaire, how to handle delivering information to residents and even whether the course is for sale. Furthermore, purchasing the course would charge the WLCA with operating a business.

“How does the board feel about this, because this puts us in the po-

Director Bob Hunter cautioned that the board needs to exercise tact as it moves forward with the idea.

“While I like the idea, it’s not our choice, right now, to raise questions about the private property over there,” he said. “We’re asking a community publicly, ‘How much are you willing to pay for this guy’s property?’ And I think we need to be very careful there. I think it’s premature to put out a questionnaire in the next two or three months, when this guy still has a business.”

Although Visions Golf Managing Partner Steve Mercer declined to put a price tag on the property, he said he would entertain any and all offers.

“Everything is for sale,” he said.

Should the study determine that the purchase is desired and feasible, it then would be put to the entire community for a vote.

“One-hundred percent of the community (lots) has to have the votes, and two-thirds have to vote in the positive,” Griffin said.

SIGNS APPROVED

The WLCA board approved the purchase of two 4-foot-by-8-foot signs, which will be placed at each Timberlane Drive entrance in the community, from Bay Area Signs.

The signs will allow the board to post notices about meetings, events and other notices. Each aluminum sign will allow for four lines of text and utilize six-inch letters. They will come with lockable vandalism covers and will be installed close to the guard gates at both entrances.

The cost is $5,546, before sales tax and permitting, said communications committee chair Heather Updike.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR + Why should we trust Visions Golf?

Dear Editor: I am pleased our city leaders attended the Walden Lake Community Association’s Nov. 19 Golf Course Workshop.

I am grateful that the vision for the community will rest with them — and not Visions Golf LLC. Visions Golf LLC asked for bank loans in 2004 to buy the Walden Lake Golf & Country Club. Granted credit was readily available to just about anyone who could fog a mirror back then, but it was the businessmen at Visions who presumably did their due diligence, weighed the risks and rewards, and signed their commitment for their vision for the future. It was Visions that chose to file a legal complaint on the HOA in 2008, charging every household a mandatory $200-per-month fee, rather than build or market themselves to their customer base.

In 2012, Visions was in front of a federal bankruptcy judge, seeking debt relief on yet another new vision for the future.

Visions’ vision for a successful golf operation — whether in 2004, 2008 or 2012, whether for 36 holes, 27 holes or 18 holes has been a mirage — not because of the economy, not because of the community, and not because of a lack of interest in golf. It has been simply a lack of execution.

The Tampa Bay Sports Authority, a state-funded entity, chartered to run municipal golf courses in Hillsborough County, reported the following increasing play and revenues in the last three years. Paying customers on their three courses (54 holes) totaled 95,084 in 2010, 103,002 in 2011, 107,800 in 2012, and more than 108,878 projected for year-end 2013.

Total revenue has also steadily increased from $2,850,250 in 2010 to more than $3,158,964 in 2013. In sum, total play has increased by more than 14.5%, and revenue has increased by more than 10.8%.

It would not be a apples to apples comparison to compare operational costs (the TBSA does not have reclaimed water), but suffice it to say, golfing interest is not waning on their facilities. (Visions can make all kinds of excuses, but unless the city leaders and even the public can see their books to validate what has been done and what was not done since 2004, one cannot make an informed decision.)

Capitalism is a beautiful concept. And, at other times, it is brutal. There is a dynamic called “creative self- destruction,” by which entities fail and others, stronger or better managed, come up out of the ground. Visions is not too big to fail. Taking their customers for granted has not been smart.

Being contemptuous of homeowners, who have invested and cared for their properties long before the constantly changing cockamamie visions of Visions, is also not smart. This community is loaded with savvy leaders, who are more than capable of putting together and executing upon a business plan. Of course, this cannot happen, until Visions Golf is told “no” to any rezoning.

Don Marshall Walden Lake

+ Residents share polo field suggestions Dear Editor: I was just running by there this morning, thinking that we should do something with that field. As much as I like the idea of a soccer field, that would require upkeep, which may make it unpopular, unless we can team up with a youth soccer league. Disc golf is probably the cheapest and, frankly, the most enjoyable use of the space for all residents.

HAPPY FEET by Amber Jurgensen | Associate Editor

Plant City Woman’s Club helps students put best feet forward This year, the club will distribute about 575 shoes to students in need.

Eager students lined up Dec. 10, ready to get their feet into a new pair of kicks at Bryan Elementary. Their old, worn shoes would be replaced just in time for Christmas, thanks to the Junior Woman’s Club and their annual shoe drive.

James Hardie partners to sponsor Bryan. But, it’s the club that spends all year to raise funds for happy feet at different schools.

“It’s nice,” President Stephanie Eisenbach said. “The kids get to go home with an early Christmas present. Some don’t want to even put them on, because they’re brand new, and they don’t want to get them dirty.”

Last year, the club was able to give 560 students shoes and socks at 14 area schools.

This year, the number has increased to about 575. Because of a generous donation of socks, the club could use more money for shoes. The General Federation of Women’s Clubs of Florida gave the local club 1,100 pairs of socks at the annual convention in April.

Amber Jurgensen

Many of the students were a little apprehensive about wearing their brand-new shoes.

Each school will receive about 50 to 60 shoes for students, who are chosen by by a guidance counselor. The club then fits each student for shoes and works with Payless to get discounts and purchase the shoes. The cost is about $10 to $15 per pair.

One by one, students are called out of glass to go to the multipurpose room. The space is buzzing with excitement. Some are shy to take

their shoes off, while others can’t lace up their neon shoestrings fast enough.

This is the first year Melissa Grimes has been in charge of her own school, although she’s helped out before.

“I love it,” Grimes said. “It’s a very humbling experience.

You definitely have a greater appreciation for what you have.”

Money raised from the Little Miss Plant City and the

Florida Strawberry Festival’s Baby Parade fund this and other charities organized by the Woman’s Club. Last year, the club hosted its first golf tournament.

“It was a huge, huge, huge success,” Eisenbach said. “We want to do it again.”

James Hardie contributes to a plethora of other community projects throughout the year, as well, including building houses for those in need and adding alterations and features to homes for disabled veterans.

The club of 37 also organizes more projects throughout the year, including adopting a school. At the end of the year, the club donates a book to each student to promote reading over the summer.

But the shoe project is near and dear to many members’ hearts, who have young children, as well.

“The project is amazing,” Eisenbach said. “It’s one of the reasons I stayed in the club.

It’s life-changing.”

CLUB HUBBUB If your club would like to post announcements, email them to Associate Editor Amber Jurgensen, ajur gensen@ plantcity observer.com.

+ GFWC Woman’s Club of Plant City The front parlor of Rich and Judy Glorioso’s home was stacked high with presents. Wrapped gifts and colorful bags contained toys, household items and clothing for 14 children and 10 families in need.

The gifts were donated by the GFWC Woman’s Club of Plant City and Plant City’s First Baptist Church’s Sunday School classes.

The Gloriosos have been organizing the drive since 2006. The presents benefit foster kids through Camelot Community Care. Each day, Camelot provides services to more than 5,000 children and families, who have experienced the trauma of abuse and neglect and/or may be in need of behavioral health services.

As the former Florida state representative, Rich Glorioso was active in getting bills passed to reform the fostercare system. He helped extend the foster care age to 21 and protected student financial aid benefits for foster care children who were adopted. Judy Glorioso also became involved.

“Some would say that they had no one to turn to,” Judy Glorioso says. “One girl said if she got a 100 on her exam, she had no one to call.”

Working with Camelot Community Care, the Gloriosos received the names of families and items they needed.

The items ranged from diapers to cleaning supplies, warm clothing to Barbie dolls.

The Gloriosos now enlist the help of the community for the drive. This year, a $400 check also will be donated to buy gift cards, extra family items or other needs.

Matlachines dancers performed during the opening ceremony.

CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION TRADITION by Amber Jurgensen | Associate Editor

The Plant City Stadium was packed Dec. 12 for the annual Our Lady of Guadalupe Celebration.

Matlachines dancers hopped from foot to foot, opening the procession. A midway with carnival rides and games was set up outside.

Since 2007, St. Clement Catholic Church has hosted a celebration in honor of the holiday. In the first year, more than 5,000 people attended the first day.

Throughout Mexico and the United States, the celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe takes place on the same nights. Our Lady of Guadalupe is a Roman Catholic icon of Mary. In the 1500s, peasant Juan Diego saw a vision of Mary in Tepeyac, Mexico. Her face was imprinted mysteriously on a robe when the archbishop asked for proof of her existence.

+ National Guard Battalion Donations still are being accepted to help troops from the 3-116th Field Artillery Battalion, who need financial assistance to make it home for the holidays.

The troops will return from Qatar to Camp Shelby, in Mississippi, where they will process out. The 300 service members from Central Florida need to charter five buses to make it home on their three-day pass.

Send donations to: Military Fund, American Legion Post 71, 43 W. Park Ave., Lake Wales, FL. 33853. Specify “Military Fund” in the check memo.

For more, call (863) 5895689.

FAITH MATTERS

The high cost of Christmas

The Rev. Dean Pfeffer addressed the congregation before the performance began.

“The Night Shift Before Christmas” cast with the Rev. Miguel Sanabria, the Rev. Dean Pfeffer and Vicar Nathan LeGreco.

Hope Lutheran youth offer different take on Christmas On the night of Dec. 15, Hope Lutheran Church was the place to be for faith, fun and falafel.

The church hosted an hourlong program, titled “The Night Shift Before Christmas,” during which the younger members of the congregation came together to tell the story of Christmas from a different perspective — from the view of

Bethlehem’s only “24-hour Falafel House” restaurant.

Employees and patrons hung out in the restaurant, talking about the food, modern technology and the possibility of the Messiah being born in Bethlehem. Some of the patrons were skeptical of anything major happening in the town, even when Mary and Joseph

themselves stopped by. Later that night, Jesus Christ was born, and everyone in the shop rejoiced.

The program featured original songs, performed by the cast, and traditional songs in English and Spanish. A reception was held in the fellowship hall after the play, and guests could fill up on cookies, punch and, of course, falafel.

Candice Venrick and her son, Jackson, played the roles of Mary and baby Jesus.

nist Lenn Stone had to leave for the emergency room, because of a minor accident, Dick Grant stepped in at the last minute to make sure the concert began on time. Then, when Stone returned from the ER,

she stepped back behind the piano seamlessly.

The show featured an evening full of traditional Christmas tunes, all performed in perfect harmony by Plant City’s only community choir.

A recent article I read stated the average dollar amount Americans will spend per person this year for Christmas is $786. The good news for merchants is that amount is up slightly from 2012.

But, on the other hand, it is way down from 2007’s high of $866. Already, we are hearing mixed reports depending on the network you listen to of how Christmas sales are either up or down from last year.

But wait, there’s more! A recent online poll revealed the cost that Christmas spending can have on people’s mental health. One organization said 40% of their respondents were experiencing increased levels of stress and anxiety as a result of paying for the Christmas season, and 25% had increased feelings of depression. Now ask yourself, and be honest, have you ever said, “But, it just won’t be Christmas without (fill in the blank),” or, “We just THE REV. can’t afford Christmas this DEAN R. year.” When you think about PFEFFER it, that statement never really doesn’t make much sense, because Christmas is a birthday that comes this time of year, every year and, still, we seem to get caught off-guard. Now, let me add this, could any of us really afford the gift that God gives us in His only begotten Son? But there’s something very extraordinary about this birthday of Jesus. His special day is also our ultimate Gift. How can we even begin to fathom the value of such a gift?

Have you ever sat and recounted all your Christmas gifts? Which one gift meant the most to you? Why? We all have received a gift that meant the most to us for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, the gift has no monetary value (such as the coupon books our kids made when they were younger to take out trash, give hugs, clean their rooms, etc). Although these gifts have no monetary value, one cannot place a value on the love behind those kinds of gifts. Sometimes, a gift we receive has special meaning to us all because of who gave it. For example, from a child to a parent or from one’s closest friend.

It is safe to say, that all of us look forward to giving and receiving gifts. Some of us even feel like leaping up and down with joy like little children when we receive a gift that means a lot to us. Remember, the unborn baby John the Baptist, leapt in his mother’s womb with joy at the news told his mother Elizabeth that God’s gift had arrived and that Mary was carrying it!

What a wonderful time of year, when we, too, can jump up and down with joy celebrating this ultimate gift of a Savior who was born for us in the city of David. It was the sacrificial gift of our Father’s one and only Son, all God had, He gave for us.

Without this Gift, we would be lost forever.

This gift of God is truly the one and only gift that keeps on giving. This is the gift that you and I cannot live without. This Christmas is an opportunity for us to come together in worship and again experience receiving our newborn Savior and King in a real way, wrapped in swaddling clothes, not under a tree, but in a manger.

Come to the heart of Christmas, approach the altar of God’s grace, receive the Gift of Christmas in worship… there are no strings attached. Be blessed by joining together (and inviting others to join you) in your Christmas celebrations.

If you do not have a church home, let me take this moment on behalf of the members and staff at Hope to invite you to join us this Christmas. Our Christmas Eve worship services will be at 7 and 10:30 p.m., and our Christmas Day service begins at 10:30 a.m.

Remember: God’s gift in Christ never disappoints us. Come and see why St. Paul said, “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift.”

YOUTH FOOTBALL

+ Dolphins invited to champions event Although the Plant City Dolphins have played plenty of football over the past few weeks, the UYFL tournament was not their swan song for 2013.

Both the Pee Wee and Varsity squads have been invited to compete at the Under Armour-sponsored Game Day of Champions Dec. 21, at Raymond James Stadium — the biggest stage they will have played on all year.

Coaches were informed Dec. 11, but kept it a secret from the players until the UYFL championship games were played Dec. 13.

Game Day of Champions is free for spectators.

According to Raymond James Stadium’s website, the start time is pending.

For more information, visit raymondjamesstadium.com.

SOCCER

+ Local squads continue winning Most Plant City-area schools won their games this week, and a few of the teams won big.

The Strawberry Crest girls chalked one up in the “win” column Dec. 10 with a 10-0 rout of Spoto. Five Lady Chargers picked up at least one goal in the contest, but it was freshman Frances Cruz and sophomore Angie Conde scoring seven of the goals. Cruz scored four, while Conde added three.

The boys also fared well in their matchup with the Spartans, winning 5-1.

That win snapped a twogame tie streak and was the first game the Chargers won since Nov. 14, at Bloomingdale.

The Plant City Lady Raiders’ offense has cooled off a bit since the fourgame, 45-goal stretch, but they still are winning.

Following Dec. 10’s 8-0 home win against Lennard, in which Diana Corzine, Ericka Lott and Stephanie Galloway each scored two goals, the team traveled Dec. 13, to Hillsborough and picked up a 3-0 win.

The boys also have been playing well lately, beating Lennard 3-2 and shutting out Hillsborough with a 4-0 win. Their hot streak couldn’t have come at a better time, after dropping the first four games of the season, and the Raiders are now 4-0-1 since Nov. 18.

Durant was the only high school that didn’t win its soccer games this week, but the boys did manage to tie, 2-2, against district leader Newsome. The Lady Cougars, on the other hand, lost 2-1 to a 13-0-0 Lady Wolves squad that hasn’t allowed more than one goal in any game.

Sisters Taylor and Gracie Edgemon, and Shelby Jacobsen, won in their age groups at the NFL competition.

Football isn’t just a boy’s game, anymore.

At the 2013 NFL Punt, Pass & Kick Team Championship Dec. 8, three Plant City girls took home first-place honors: Taylor Edgemon, Gracie Edgemon and Shelby Jacobsen each won their respective age groups.

Although the girls’ scores may not be high enough to get them to the PPK National Finals, they were all proud of what they accomplished on the field.

And, it wasn’t just those three that turned in a good outing. Plant City was represented by six kids — four girls, two boys — and all placed in the top three for their age groups.

Plant City’s three winners each have a

DOLPHINS DOMINATE

Shortly after two Plant City Dolphins squads won the Superbowl, two more won UYFL National Championships. Although the Plant City Colts did not win the championship, they’re grateful for what the experience has shown them.

For the Plant City Dolphins, it looked like the past week was just business as usual.

They fielded four teams in the United Youth Football League National Championships, and two of the teams left with some shiny new hardware. The Superbowl in Brandon was a few weeks ago, but the transition was smooth.

The 12U Dolphins, known as the Junior Varsity squad, couldn’t have cruised through their bracket more easily. They got things started Dec. 9, with a 46-0 blowout of the MOT Cowboys, about two hours before their next opponents, the Naperville Patriots, picked up a 40-0 win over the Lakeland Storm. Naturally, this semifinal matchup got some hype.

But, that wasn’t the case. Plant City smacked Naperville around Dec. 11, putting up a 31-0 win over the Chicago-based squad. This put the Dolphins in a championship game against a CRA Cowboys team that made it with a nail-biter of a win, 19-18 over the CFAA Mustangs.

The Dec. 13 championship game was somewhat different from the last two. The Cowboys actually scored some points: two touchdowns and one PAT, to be exact. But, unfortunately for them, Plant City’s offense didn’t slow down one bit and helped the team run away with a 33-13 win.

Outscoring all opponents 110-13 was definitely a good look for head coach Steve Gude’s team, especially after missing out on the Superbowl.

For the Varsity team, however, go-

round. And, because Brooklyn had just come off of a 25-6 semifinal win, Plant City knew this one would be close.

The third year of UYFL action in Plant City ended pretty well for the local fans, with three teams going deep in the brackets and two coming out with some shiny new rings and jackets. But, the Plant City teams winning hardware wasn’t the only cool thing spectators saw over the past week.

Here are some things that I noticed during the tournament: • The tournament gave me a great feel for the size of the Otis M. Andrews complex. Even with seven or eight teams simultaneously playing football games, and a lot of their fans watching JUSTIN them, it was still easy to move KLINE around and breathe.

• We could not have asked for better football weather all week, especially when it cooled down Dec. 13. A lot of us say, “I can’t wait until it gets cold again,” but then it gets cold and that tune changes pretty quickly. Friday’s temperature hit the perfect balance, without a storm cloud in the sky. If only the Durant basketball games could have been held outdoors!

• It was neat to see teams from all over the country come to play, and a lot of them had crazy uniforms. If I had to guess, I’d say that at least a few of those teams are dressed

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK by Justin Kline | Staff Writer

FRANCES CRUZ Strawberry Crest picked up its biggest win of the season on Dec. 10, laying a 10-0 smackdown on Spoto. The biggest part of the Lady Chargers’ offensive attack was forward Frances Cruz, whose four goals led the team.

Cruz, a freshman, has played in every game for the Lady Chargers this season, and this win was the team’s second of the year.

You just dropped four goals on Spoto. What were you feeling going into that game?

Like I had a really big opportunity, considering my position as a freshman.

We were all trying not to be overconfident, because we heard a lot about the team ... not being the best team, so were trying not to be overconfident. But, we still won, I guess.

What are you hoping to accomplish over the rest of this season?

To win more than we did in the first half of this season.

What are some of your hobbies outside of soccer?

I used to do music, and I still enjoy art. My hobby is art — pretty much sketching and painting anything that catches my attention.

You also said you used to play music. What did you play?

I used to play the clarinet, which I started in sixth grade.

PPK / PAGE 14 story to tell. For the Edgemon sisters, this year’s competition was both an end and a beginning.

ONE LAST HURRAH

Taylor Edgemon is no stranger to the PPK scene.

This was the 15-year-old’s eighth and final year as a competitor, having started in and winning around Plant City since she was in elementary school.

“My dad had me practicing and competing when I was 8 years old,” Taylor says. “My grandfather wanted me to do it, too.”

As it turned out, the Edgemon men were on to something. Taylor won every competition she entered in the Plant City area and often found herself winning in the next round at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ practice field. She didn’t always get high enough scores to qualify for the next round, though.

There were two exceptions: once, when she was 9 years old, and once again this month. She placed fourth in her first competition, so she wanted to go out on top to end her career.

She finally made it back to Raymond James Stadium and won the competition with a total distance of 171 feet, 4 inches.

“It was really fun, because it was my last year doing it,” Taylor says. “It was kind of pressuring. But, it was good to win my last one.”

Because 15 is the age cut-off year for PPK, her career is over.

But, for her younger sister, this is just the beginning.

THE REPLACEMENT UYFL / PAGE 14 Indeed, it was. The fans got a low-scoring game, marked by big defensive plays, turnovers and penalties on both ends. It was, perhaps, a little sloppy on the offensive side, but not without its moments.

One of those big moments came late in the second quarter, while the game was still scoreless. After Chase Oliver’s long interception return was mostly negated with an unnecessary roughness penalty, Plant City drove down to the red zone and found itself stuck around the 12-yard line.

The call was for a play-action pass, and quarterback Tate Whatley sold the fake perfectly. He found Tyler Hood in the end zone and rifled off a pass, giving Plant City its easiest six points of the night.

Brooklyn found the end zone in the fourth quarter, thanks to a particularly sneaky wideout. The Renegades lined up in a tight formation, which the Dolphins matched, but some creative blocking opened a hole for the receiver to sneak through. Plant City blocked the PAT, though, and put the game out of reach at 16-6 with four minutes left after a long drive. Although the sweeps weren’t working for much of the game, Gerrod McGee made the last one count with a 10-yard scoring run to the right side of the field.

Though these were the only two Plant City teams that won their brackets, one team got a takeaway that was just as good.

LITTLE GIANTS: THE SEQUEL

Plant City Colts coach Curt Brooks likes to compare his team to the “Little Giants,” from the movie of the same name.

Although the Colts lost every game by a score of 32-0, they’re taking this tournament as a moral victory: All of their opponents were

massive by comparison.

“They’re looking at these big guys, and they still want to get on the field and play,” Brooks says. “Some of these kids on the other teams are 14, 15 years old and weigh 265 pounds, but (the Colts) aren’t scared at all.”

They were just happy to play football, as outmatched as they may have been. Brooks said the entire week was a learning experience, not only for the kids but also for himself and his fellow coaches.

“I learned a lot as a coach,” he says. “I learned that it ain’t the size of the dog in the fight — it’s the size of the fight in the dog.”

That was the Colts’ story through two different brackets in the tournament — starting off outmuscled in the wrong bracket and ending the same way in the correct one. Although there are instances in which a smaller player may be able to use his speed and footwork to his advantage against a bigger player, it doesn’t work every time — especially when the guy across the line is bigger by at least six inches and 100 pounds.

But, that never-quit attitude the boys had will get them far.

Such as, for example, whenever they get to play teams in their age group and weight class.

Also during the tournament, Brooks was selected to coach one of the teams in the Mid-Florida Football and Cheer Conference All-Star Game.

Going forward, Brooks now knows to never underestimate the heart of his players, even going against kids twice their size.

“The kids gave me courage,” he says. “They got me hyped up. I was scared they’d get hurt, (because) all of those kids were so much bigger than them, but they kept telling me, ‘Coach, we’re going to finish this!’”

Gracie Edgemon is new to the PPK scene. At 7 years old, she’s a little younger in her first year of competition than her sister.

She’s also just as determined to win — even if it means taking Taylor’s name out of the record books.

“My favorite thing about Punt, Pass & Kick is beating my sister’s scores,” Gracie says.

Although she didn’t beat her sister’s scores this time around, she still put up a strong showing. In her appearance at the Bucs’ stadium, her distance of 96 feet was good enough to win her a

first-place trophy. Not bad for someone whose first competition was just two months ago, at the Otis M. Andrews Sports Complex.

Gracie says her sister was her biggest influence for taking up the hobby. After watching Taylor compete one year, she decided she wanted to give it a try.

“I want to keep doing this until I turn 15,” Gracie says. “I want to do Punt, Pass & Kick at the Super Bowl.”

She’s giving the Edgemon family another eight years to be a part of the action and, so far, she’s off to a good start in filling her sister’s shoes.

“Sometimes, we call her Taylor’s ‘replacement,’” mother Kim Edgemon jokes.

Gracie wasn’t the only winner to be influenced by a sibling.

SISTER’S GOT SKILLS

The Jacobsen house is full of boys, and they all play football. They also compete in PPK events, and that’s where they got their sister, Shelby, hooked.

As with Gracie Edgemon, Jacobsen went to Raymond James Stadium right from the start of her career four years ago. Now 9 years old, she has yet to miss an event.

She won first place every time she competed, except in 2012, when she finished in second place.

“I was hoping to make up for that this year,” Jacobsen says.

She did. Her distance of 149 feet, 4 inches, won her the competition, and she left a happy camper.

“It was really fun,” she says.

“I met a lot of kids that were very nice to me, made some new friends.”

One of her brothers, Jarrett, also competed in the Dec. 8 event. Her other brother, Joe, did not compete.

Punt, Pass & Kick competitions have been one of the family’s favorite hobbies for years and, with Jarrett on the verge of aging out, Joe and Shelby will keep going.

She also plans to keep competing until she is too old to continue.

“Whenever I kick, I get the urge to kick it soft,” Jacobsen says. “But then, it goes really far.”

KLINE / PAGE 14 like that just to distract their opponents — and it seemed to work at times. On another note, there was a team called the Chiefs that wore Miami Hurricanes-style duds, but their fans celebrated big plays with the Florida State Seminoles’ war chant. There’s no way these guys are from Florida.

• I’m hoping that the Brooklyn Renegade who was injured during the 14U Dolphins’ championship game is OK. You never want to see a kid on the ground for 15 minutes, only to be taken away in an ambulance. According to the players on Plant City’s bench, the boy’s knee was torn up, and he was knocked unconscious at the same time. That happened in the middle of a big pileup, and that’s just how the game is at times. Even if you’re careful, it’s still a physical sport.

• There were at least a few rivalry games this week, played by teams who aren’t even from the same state. I was surprised to learn that the Dolphins consider the Naperville Patriots a true rival, even though the Pats are from a suburb of Chicago. These rivalry games only happen at this tournament, so it’s cool to know that teams like Naperville have this game against Plant City circled on their calendar months in advance.

• The 14U Dolphins’ championship game was the only one that I got to watch in full, and the fans really got into it.

Especially early on, when the officials made some question-

able calls (Note: They got the first call right, although that was the one you all were the most vocal about. They did blow the next one, though ...)

While I was snapping photos, I overheard some fans of another team saying, “These Plant City fans are crazy!” I considered it a solid homefield advantage.

• In last week’s issue, I brought up the story of the bracket mishap that had the Plant City Colts in the wrong division. The Colts made it to the runner-up game, but there was just one problem: Their opponents weren’t at the field. According to head coach Curt Brooks, a death in the family of the Northeast Rattlers’ head coach changed the team’s plans for the day — they re-scheduled for a 6 p.m. start so that the coach could attend the wake. The Colts arrived on time and geared up, but the Rattlers were late — very late. Brooks said the original plan was that the Rattlers would forfeit if they didn’t make it on time, and the Colts would have accepted it, but that changed when the team arrived. The Colts and Rattlers ended up playing and, despite the blowout loss, Brooks was pleased that his players were willing to give the Rattlers a reason to suit up. As he put it, “It was a good lesson for them — to do the right thing.”

Though I didn’t get to go down to the park as often as I would have liked, I was pleased with what action I did see. I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely hoping that the tournament will be back in Plant City next year.

Plant City, Durant renew hoops rivalry A Plant City rivalry reignited Dec. 13, as the Durant Cougars hosted the Plant City Raiders for the first time this season. The Raiders came away with a 71-50 victory.

Although the two teams kept it close in the first quarter, Plant City took off in the second and didn’t look back. The Raiders exploited Durant’s lack of speed and played at a breakneck pace, tiring the Cougars out and getting buckets in transition. When the Cougars did manage to slow things down on defense, Plant City imposed its will inside when their outside shooters hit rim.

Next up for Durant is a road game against East Bay at 8 p.m. Dec. 20. The Raiders will be away at 7:45 p.m.
