· Big ups to the Lakewood Ranch High boys golf team.
The Mustangs were ranked No. 1 in the state after winning the Venice Invitational, but slipped to No. 5 after Coach Dave Frantz rested his Green team, the tournament starters, in the next meet and played his Silver team, instead. Then the Ranch turned around and beat out a field of 24 teams in a tournament at Lakeland, finishing 6 under par with 17 birdies and two eagles as a team.
The Mustang boys are Max Bendixen, Henry Burbee, Ryan Giampietro, Grant Miller, Joshua Orgen, Nicolas Penker, Donovan Plakyda, Parker Severs, Brett Traver and Luke Wilson.
· Well done to Bayshore High’s Journalism team, recipients of the Quill and Scroll Honor Society’s International second-place award. The team includes executive editor Meah Hird, managing editor Autumn Faasse, sports editor Olivia Gasiewski, reporter Annabella Stevens, designer Gabby Rapuzzi and photographer Eduardo Cavero.
