Evyette Osme
Senior
Flag Football
Ida Baker Bulldogs
The senior helped lead the Bulldogs (7-1) to a 20-12 win over Cypress Lake, totaling 131 rushing yards and two touchdowns. She also recorded an interception on defense.
“It was a great game, and I felt that I went in strong with a positive mindset and played my heart out. To be able to play football this year was a major success not only for me but my team as well. It’s great to go 7-1 in our first season.”

Justin Davis
Junior
Weightlifting
Bishop Verot Vikings
Davis was tops in the FHSAA Region 1A-4 Championships, winning the 169-pound weight class in Olympic lifting (440 pounds), and finished fourth in traditional lifting (510 pounds). The junior was also named an at-large competitor in the traditional lift, and will compete in both at the 1A State Championships.
“I’m happy to bring home a regional championship, but I have unfinished business at states. I go by the words, ‘train insane, or be the same.'”
