I went to Gables, we played you in BB, i believe 66, you had a player Cyril Baptiste, we got the Crap beat out of us.Yeah, we had a good program then and then had a little bit of a resurgence in the late 2000s.
But overall it was very hit and miss with the athletics program. It was such a small school that we would only be good if we got lucky and had a couple years in a row that we’d randomly get a handful of talented athletes enrolled.
My freshman-junior year we had a great football team, lost only 3 total games, all in the state semi finals. My senior year we regressed but still made the playoffs and lost to Pahokee. I had a tackle for loss on Antone Smith.
We had a good 2-3 year run where we happened to get a good amount of athletes enrolled. After they all graduated we regressed horribly and never had another winning season until the school closed 4-5 years ago.
I wasn't an arhlete, weird, haven't thought about this in 45-50 years..
