Didn’t go our way tonight, no reason to hang our heads! Seniors thank you for a phenomenal first year as head coach, couldn’t ask for a better group of young men. You all left it on the field! I love you all! Now time to find you guys a home for next year!

Received some scary news last night! No need to go into detail I just ask for my prayer warriors to pray for our family members! Need God’s healing hand over this young man and his family.
Don’t take anything for granted make sure your loved ones know you love them!
So proud of this young man! He makes it a point to stop in and say hey to Chance everyday! Today he gave him a jersey! This is way more important than any offer or championship! Great job

Great job by the Warrior defense tonight. Held Wekiva to 53 total yards. Had two turnovers, one pick 6 (51 yard return)! Great job gentlemen!

@DemetricDWarren
It’s the coaches carrousel (annual contract)… they have to win now and do not want to risk their job to develop athletes! Most new coaches at the lower collegiate level are using their position as a stepping stone. Ultimately the kids lose! So many HS athletes get overlooked!
Look what we found hiding under the stadium!
8mm film reels from the 70s and 80s. Is there anybody we know that can digitize these. I’m sure a lot of alumni would love to be able to watch these again!

Biggest compliment is college coaches reaching out explaining how prepared our kids are for the next level! It’s not just about going to college but having the tools/knowledge to be successful in and out of the classroom! The work ethic/understanding to be a student of the game!
91 student athletes signed to colleges in 9 years! Yes that's 10 a year!!! Oh and those Warriors play in college... most their freshman year. College coaches trust that our kids are prepared! That's what we mean by
#WOWfactory
Today was a long one! Spent long hours in small groups mask wearing/ sanitizing everything... Well worth it because football is back! Big shout out to our strength and conditioning coach putting together a phenomenal workout program!
@WestOrangeFB
Let me brag on this defense! Graduated 9 seniors last year that all went to play in their respective colleges! Our starters consist of 6 seniors, 2 juniors, 2 sophomores and 1 freshman! To hold an explosive Ocoee offense to 67 yards, just incredible!

Coach Granato has named Coach Geno Thompson as Defensive Coordinator at West Oranger. Coach Thompson is West Orange Alum, continued his playing career at Wofford, and was a part of West Orange staff for the last 4 playoff appearances for the Warriors.
Florida HS Coaches please talk with your players about NIL! I have seen multiple companies poaching hs athletes for nil deals offering compensation for them to promote their brand. Our kids do not know they will be jeopardizing their Hs eligibility by promoting these companies!
Can anyone guess how much teachers were offered in raises to offset the rise of inflation? This combined with minimal pay for coaches is why we continue to see mass exodus out of Florida! Something has got to give! I honestly made more 7 years ago in the same job! 🤯 feeling sad!
Genuine question! Which FCS programs are still recruiting HS kids. I feel most are now 90% portal 10% HS (mostly in state).
Organizing our college tour again for this summer and want to hit schools who recruit HS kids! Thinking going to NC/SC area!
Appreciate the info!
We are so lucky to have such tremendous family and community support to take care of our team!
A HUGE THANK YOU! To all the families that came out today for our family picnic!

Blessed to have these great men with me pouring into the kids! It’s more than football. We try to teach life lessons they can carry with them for good! Thank you fellas!
Although we are looking to add an additional young Offensive Line Coach. We have 2 great OLine coaches on staff with over 50 years coaching or playing (college level or higher) experience at the Offensive line position! Both are extremely knowledgeable and pour into the kids!
All other sports have AAU/travel ball which means more opportunities. Football only has HS! Please set a date/allow them to play anytime 20/21 giving kids opportunities to earn scholarships! We all know risk involved but no football prevents changing future generations well being
Had 3 starters out yesterday, next guy up mentality. We definitely got better and built some depth! Thank you

In all seriousness we can have the best of both worlds. Online digital learning platform. Schools schedule in person meetings with students who need tutoring in their subject. All after school sports and arts continue as normal so kids get social interaction (with rules in place)
Whoever said he can’t play with the BIG boys has NO clue! Noah can ball with the best of them! He Leads the team in multiple categories on defense!!! College coaches, watch the film, you will not be disappointed!

Bingo! Money game. Only offer should be a committable offer. Everything else is fluff or a favor to the coach. Give it a couple more years and “Offers” will need to be posted by the university on an official ncaa site. Maybe then they could be verified full qualifiers! JustSaying
This is our WHY! Trying to give our kids every opportunity so they can choose what’s best for them! Blessed to be in this position, surrounded by likeminded men fighting for our kids everday!
