Friday Night Rewind It doesn't matter which team you cheer for. We've got video previews of every high school football program in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando County.
Clearwater volleyball standout Katie Betourne will play for the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Ky.
Betourne, a defensive specialist and outside hitter, played varsity three seasons for the Tornadoes and was a two-time all-county honorable mention selection.
