Javares McRoy Decides He'll Be a Gator
By Brandt Merritt- The Ledger
The University Florida will get another highly touted Gatornaught. Javares McRoy, who will be a senior at Lakeland High, decommitted from Texas Tech on Wednesday and called Gators head coach Urban Meyer later that night to make his commitment to UF official. "I just thought about where I really wanted to go and what best fit me and my running style, and UF fits my style," McRoy said. McRoy said Meyer and running backs coach Stan Drayton told him they were going to stop recruiting the running back position with his commitment, and he expects to fill a similar role that Percy Harvin and another former Dreadnaught, Chris Rainey, have filled in the offense.

McRoy Leads Naughts to Easy Win
By Brandt Merritt - The Ledger - 5/29/10
Javares McRoy lost a fumble on Lakeland's first play from scrimmage Friday night against Tarpon Springs. He more than made up for it. McRoy ran for 299 yards and three touchdowns as the Dreadnaughts blew out the Spongers, 54-13, in front of about 350 fans at Spongers Stadium. "He's just a heck of an athlete," Lakeland coach Bill Castle said of McRoy. McRoy wasn't the only star on Lakeland's offense, as the Dreadnaughts totaled 592 yards of offense. Tim Evans, replacing the graduating Jarred Haggins at quarterback, completed 11 of 13 passes for 154 yards and two scores to receiver Teddy Wright, who finished with six catches for 96 yards. Evans also ran for 75 yards, including a 63-yard score in the second quarter, and Delvon Hagan ran for 40 yards and scored two touchdowns.

Ledger: LHS Spring Football Glance
By Brandt Merritt - The Ledger
QB Tim Evans has taken over at quarterback for graduating Jarred Haggins, and coach Bill Castle is impressed with his handle of the offense. ‘He’s kind of a smooth kid, fluid with his movements,’ Castle said … With DL Tedward Hamilton out with a herniated disc, Castle said DBs Kareem Givens and Perman Wilson are the only returning starters on defense in the spring … ‘The offense is probably ahead of the defense right now, which isn’t good,’ Castle said.

Spring game: 7:30 p.m. May 28 at Tarpon Springs.
