He won the Florida Scholastic Press Association All Florida Award in Sports News as well as the Florida Scholastic Press Association Excellence Award.

Congratulations Zach on your achievements.

Spring League Update 5/6

Wharton split a pair of spring league contests. Wharton held a double digit lead over Newsome for the majority of the game but the Wolves managed to escape with yet another win against Wharton. For those of you that don't remember, Newsome edged Wharton last December in OT in a classic duel at the jungle.

Wharton then turned their attention to Leto and seemed to have taken out some frustration by blowing out the Falcons to keep their .500 record intact. Assistant Adam Noble took over for Dave Bastian who was out of the state for Wednesday nights' contest.
