Column: It's all over, even the shouting
TAMPA The pass was caught. The ball was placed. The orange first down marker was just a few feet away. Then, the strangest thing happened. Nothing. Nothing but seconds ticking off a clock, off a season, off a career, until there was nothing but zeros and rage and joy and ...

Class 5A state semifinal: Tallahassee Godby 24, Robinson 20
TAMPA — With red, moistened eyes, Mike DePue’s players carried their retiring 60-year-old coach off Jack Peters Field late Friday night. Ideally, they would have preferred to drive him off via charter bus, venturing a few exits past surreality, a stoplight or two down from euphoria, and smack into his ...

Robinson's Carlos and Michael Duclos travel path paved by struggles
TAMPA — For some of Robinson High School’s football players, the current pitch will get no more feverish. If Friday night lights contain a dimmer switch, it’s this reality: When Robinson’s season concludes, so will some careers. “To see the kids who maybe struggle a little bit in life get ...

Know the foe: A look at Tallahassee Godby
TAMPA — Like Bobby Bowden, to whom he delivered bus loads of five-star recruits as FSU’s recruiting coordinator, Tallahassee Godby coach Ronnie Cottrell is an Alabama native with the Southern twang and self-effacing nature to prove it.

Meet Robinson's veteran offensive line
TAMPA — A half-mile from the heavily guarded entrance to MacDill Air Force Base stands an equally sturdy five-man fortress.

Sunday morning quarterback: Playoff edition
Five things we learned Friday night1. No chinks in the armor: Robinson's 49-21 victory over Pasco showed it has no glaring holes that Tallahassee Godby, its state semifinal foe, can expose.
