SEBRING –– Most participants in Saturday's South-Central Florida All-Star Football Classic were hoping to make one last impression on regional rivals, fellow recruits or college coaches. Little did Casey McKibben know, he'd be making a new friend to kick it with. Literally. One of two kickers on the Central squad, McKibben and fellow place-kicker Maikon Bonani of Lake Wales instantly buddied up during the week of practices, and during the game itself, the pair spent much of their time chatting about the finer points of booting the ball between kicking duties.

SEBRING –– The game was all but over at halftime, but the memories from the ninth annual South-Central Florida All-Star Football Classic will last much longer for the players involved. The Central team –– made up of seniors from Avon Park, Bartow, Fort Meade, Haines City, Hardee, Lake Placid, Lake Wales, Okeechobee and Sebring –– went up by four touchdowns at the half and cruised to a 42-6 victory over the South squad in a game filled with turnovers, penalties, and –– perhaps most of all –– smiles. "Our big concept from day one was 'Hey fellas, you might have been enemies before, but we're all on the same team this weekend,' " said Lake Placid coach Tim Grant, who led the Central squad. "But this was still our home turf, and we wanted to protect it." The Central team did just that, getting touchdowns from Sebring's Sam Robinson and T.J. Williams and holding the South team's stars –– made up of seniors from Charlotte, DeSoto, LaBelle, Lemon Bay, Moore Haven, North Port and Port Charlotte –– to less than 70 yards of offense at the half. Sebring's Isaac Fernandez, one of seven Blue Streaks on the field, said the win was satisfying in more ways than one. ...more
