<p>On Sunday, players from across Florida gathered at Seminole Sports Academy for a four-hour showcase by putting their skills on display against top peers in the 2026 and 2027 classes. The event provided an exciting opportunity for upperclassmen to compete within their own age groups and gauge where they stand among the state's best. College coaches were on hand to offer direct instruction and feedback, adding valuable insight to the experience. Below are evaluations of one of the teams I had the opportunity to scout:</p>
