Some soccer players are born to score: meet Kaley Ward.

In fact, too many goalies have met Ms. Ward and couldn’t wait for her and her Harmony High teammates to go away.

Ward riddled the nets 54 times last season, breaking her school record of 39.

She also had 31 assists.

Fishin’ Fun

If you want to catch a lot of fish, get some worms and crickets. Bluegills and shell crackers are both on a feeding frenzy.  Both species have been hitting on the east side of Makinson Island.  ou’ll catch bluegills along the Kissimmee grass and the shell crackers are a little farther off shore, spawning on the shell beds.  I talked to one fisherman who had limited out on bluegills Monday.

Giovanni Guzmann knows where to steer the ball to help Gateway

By J. Daniel Pearson
For the News-Gazette

By definition, basketball coaches look for their point guards to be unselfish playmakers.  Athletes who look to dish first and score second.

Gateway’s point guard, Giovanny Guzmann, fits the definition.  He fits it so well in fact, that he is the Osceola News Gazette Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

St. Cloud High Football Coach Brad Lennox turned in his resignation to Principal Nate Fancher Tuesday, just one year after accepting the job.

“It was a series of things that happened during and after the season,” Lennox said. “It was nothing to do with effort, because anyone who knows me knows that I give full effort to the job all the time.”
