SPRING ’23

by Ramon Kameka

As the warm weather gets hotter and hotter so does the anticipation for Spring Football as it arrives in Brevard County, Florida. On Monday, April 26th, this highly-anticipated spring season will officially begin and will continue through the end of May. Heritage High School is one of the teams that’s expected to make a big jump from the previous season. Due to the addition of new coaches, as well as new transfer players, this could really be the year the Panthers get back to where they dominated the District. Heritage is hoping to use the extra practice time not only to become a better team, but to also build team chemistry and create a better overall team atmosphere with the help of the snake-oil mindset that has injected new life into the program. Heritage will battle it out in the Citrus Bowl on May 25th to face Vero Beach.

Viera High School is also another team that is receiving much anticipation as they look to make a jump from a winless season last year. Fans of the team have been calling themselves #BirdNation and have been eagerly awaiting the start of the spring season with hopes of seeing the Viera Hawks make the necessary improvements to be a competitive team. The team was young last season and started 9 freshmen on Varsity. Those players are a year older, stronger, and faster as the hawks look to turn the corner. Star QB Chase Cromartie is back and healthy and has one of the best targets in WR Zack Pillow. The team’s first test will come on May 19th when they travel to play Bayside High School on the road.

Overall, the start of the high school spring football season in Brevard County is sure to bring tons of excitement and anticipation for all the teams involved. Heritage High School will look to make a jump from the previous season, while Viera High School will be looking to finally get over the hump and start making some noise in the county. Fans of both teams will be anxiously following the spring season with high hopes of seeing a glimpse into the start of the 2023 season.
