We’re halfway done with Pre-Season Rankings Week!

As we prepare for the final class ranking for Palm Beach County’s finest, I’d just like to take some time to shed light on this group of guys. When I first started with NewEraPrep, these guys were just itty bitty freshmen trying to make their names known. They most certainly have done that. Over the past four years, I’ve seen this class cement their names as some of the top players in the State and even in the Country.

These players have grown from boys to men, from kids that took directions to leaders of men, from nobodies into superstars. I could not be more prouder of every player in this class. I’ve had the absolute privilege of covering these guys throughout their time in pads, and I am more than ecstatic to cover the final few weeks of this chapter, and then to whatever other journey life brings.
