Braden River is a prohibitive favorite with the Joe Pinkos Forecaster, on FloridaHSFootball.com, choosing the Pirates by 59 points. ... If that rings true, then head coach Curt Bradley will get his younger players valuable game experience. ... QB Louis Colosimo leads the county in completion percentage (67.1) and has thrown one interception against 21 TDs. ... Gibbs has won two games, but both were district contests to book a playoff berth. ...
