Loucks gets an assist ... on the football field

Clearwater coach Tom Bostic can thank quarterback and star basketball player Luke Loucks for solidifying the kicking game. After struggling to kick extra points the first three games, Loucks convinced Julian Beau, a soccer player who had never played football for the Tornadoes, to come out for the team.

"Julian got out here a little late, but he's getting situated," Bostic said. "He certainly has a lot of potential."

Beau didn't waste time making his mark, hitting three field goals (38, 42, 27) in the Tornadoes' 15-7 win against Gibbs on Friday.

Parks commits

St. Petersburg Catholic's Tracy Parksorally committed to play basketball for South Alabama. Parks, a senior, averaged 19.6 points per game last season and is one of the top 3-point shooting guards in the county.

Henderson, Freedman back in lineup for CCC

Clearwater Central Catholic quarterback Brent Henderson and receiver Paul Freedman, who have been out with shoulder injuries, will be back for Friday's Class 2B, District 6 game against Berkeley Prep.

Their return could not have come at a better time. The Marauders have struggled on offense during their absence, scoring a combined 10 points in losses to St. Cloud Harmony and Fort Meade the past two weeks.

"This is the healthiest we've been as a team all season," CCC coach Mike Jalazo said.

Did you know?

Dixie Hollins quarterback Josh Brown's 263 yards (137 rushing) were more than the entire Palm Harbor University offense (233 yards) in last week's game.

By the numbers

131 Combined points Largo has scoredin its first four football games
