THE COUGARS FILE

Head Coach: Bryce Bishop

2021 Record: 12-1

THE SCOOP

They had built a team in just one year that was easily among the best in the state of Florida.

Finishing the regular season 10-0, the Cougars took care of everyone on the schedule and earned a No. 1 seed in the state playoffs, beating Fort Myers Cypress Lake (60-0) and Fort Lauderdale Stranahan (37-0).

The lone defeat came in the third round of the state playoffs to powerhouse Miami Central – when the Rockets took them down, 39-13.

Fast forward to the off-season where head coach Derrick Gibson moved on to the next level as a coach at FAU – and enter another former Cougar, Bryce Bishop.

As this team gets set for the off-season, the objective is the same, the roster is a little different, but the optimism is the same as they prepare for camps, college visits and 7-on-7 tournaments.
