After competing against one another for the past few track seasons, it seems only natural that Freedom High's Sandra Akachukwu and Alonso's Quatasia Fantroy have become pretty good friends. Sometimes, the juniors find themselves racing side by side in lanes next to each other, or heading to the top of the long jump runway moments after the other has landed in the sand.
Strawberry Crest High senior Wes Carter said he knew he had his work cut out for him Tuesday as the Chargers played host to Class 6A-District 11 leader Jefferson.

The Wiregrass Ranch Bulls handed the Freedom Patriots their first loss of the season in a dramatic game, which went into two overtimes and ended with the Bulls on top 56-53.
The Wiregrass Ranch Bulls boy’s basketball coach, Jeremy Calzone, has been tired of hearing about how his team can't beat Hillsborough county teams, and now maybe this will quiet down some of the non-believers, as Wiregrass defeated the Freedom Patriots 84-59 on Tuesday night.
Tyrel Nunn's 25-yard pass to freshman Eddie McClarty gave the Patriots an overtime win over Wiregrass Ranch.
Tampa Bay Tech's flawless performance against Freedom on Friday night sets up a Class 7A-District 7 showdown next week. The Titans will play host to Gaither to determine the district title.
Sophomore quarterback Alex McGough completed 12 of 16 passes for 159 yards and three touchdowns with one interception to lead Gaither to its fourth consecutive win.
Paced by Darius Page's 138 rushing yards, Wharton beat Freedom, 28-7, in a battle of the two New Tampa high schools Friday night.
Freedom's first win of the season couldn't have felt more rewarding. The Patriots looked nothing like the team that went through their first five games winless. They showcased a well-balanced offense that led them to a pivotal Class 7A-District 7 victory.
The Ravens dominated on both sides of the ball en route to their fourth win without a loss.
Steinbrenner struggled to the victory, but Warriors coach Floyd Graham said he would take it no matter how it looked.
Brandon's victory against winless Freedom might not mean that much on paper, but it was exactly what the Eagles needed after last week's loss to nationally ranked Armwood.
Dazmond Patterson caught a pair of touchdowns from Benny Coney and added a 70-yard scoring run to pace Plant City Friday night.
Durant's Nick Fabrizio and Jamarlon Hamilton had the quarterback-running back exchange down. Maybe, more importantly the two Cougars just looked like they had the exchange worked out, as Fabrizio tucked the ball three times on fakes and dashed for a trio of touchdowns in the victory.
