One of the most newsworthy FHSAA board of directors meetings is scheduled for April 26. There,
among the many topics that will be discussed is the planned reduction
of all varsity schedules (football excluded) by 20-percent beginning

There is the start of a push in the Gainesville area for P.K. Yonge
Class of 2010 guard Jaterra Bonds to be a McDonald’s All-American next
year.
Count a current All-American, who also has been an Elite Essence
teammate of the Gator commitment for two summers, among those who
thinks that should be the case.
“Of course she should be,” said Miramar Parkway senior guard Erica
Wheeler, a Rutgers signee. “She’s a humble kid, a great kid. She called
