JENSEN BEACH – When Elvick Previlma made the decision to finish his high school football career on the Treasure Coast, it turned into a big gain for both himself and the Jensen Beach Falcons.
It happened just before fall football practice began in late July.

Since then, the 5-for-11 athlete has been taking off.
There have been several games when the Wellington transfer stood out, one of which happened in Week 1 against Fort Pierce Central in a 28-0 road win.

The @JBeachAthletics ‘24 ATH is looking forward to Week 3 against his former team in @WellyHS_FB.
“It’s all love,” Elvick said.@caffeyjbhs pic.twitter.com/B2PLFIKe1W
Granted, Previlma has had several moments throughout the regular season at Jensen Beach. But no moment was greater than Week 9, when he posted 210 total yards, a touchdown on offense, and an interception on defense in his team’s 40-14 road win over Sebastian River on Oct. 20.
The Treasure Coast’s MVP of Week 9 spoke on his career-best overall performance to date.
“I scored in the second half,” Previlma said. “The game was 7-0. They were winning until second half, when our running back [Dominic Duran] scored. Then next drive I had got a great punt return. Then on the first play, I got a bomb fly route and caught it for a touchdown.”
