Skye Persechino

Freshman

Swimming

Oasis Sharks

The freshman broke a school record at the Pirate Invitational in Port Charlotte. Persechino set a new mark to beat for the Sharks and finished first in the pool, swimming a 56.55 in the girls 100-meter freestyle, a record since 2010.

“When I broke the record, I felt really good about it and very proud of myself. I love my teammates, and everyone has been cheering and supporting me as well as each other on the team. I also want to thank my parents for their support.”

Justin Lewis

Senior

Football

Mariner Tritons

The stand-out senior broke a school record dating back to 1989 when he threw for five touchdowns in a 46-7 win over Bonita Springs. Lewis, who went 10-of-14 for 166 yards, also returned a punt 62 yards for a score.

“We prepare as best as possible and it all worked out perfect. The record-breaking touchdown passes — all credit goes to my receivers. I just get the ball out to them, and they do the rest.”
