Last week, the Howard W. Blake High School Yellow Jackets came from behind to win the Class 4A, District 9 Championship in front of a standing room only crowd. On Saturday, the young men will travel to Fort Myers where they will take on the Fort Myers Greenies. The Greenies are the defending 4A state champions and this game will determine which team will advance to the state tournament.
The team has been playing with extra emotions due to the life-threatening illness of their Coach. Team members, Chris Tomlinson, Curtis Fountain, Andre Smith, Brandon Chandler, Xavier Alston, Quentin Brewer, Joe Morris and Deshay Williams are shown with their latest game trophy.
