4 months ago

The neighboring towns of Belle Glade and Pahokee, Florida, despite having a combined population of roughly 25,000, will have five natives playing in the Super Bowl. Anquan Boldin and Pernell McPhee are graduates of Pahokee HS, while Deonte Thompson, Ray McDonald, and Damien Berry are all graduates of Glades Central HS.

Sick amount of talent from that area.
Well, South Florida in general. The most talented area I go to annually.

The Muck isn't the same anymore, Gerry. Pahokee has sucked since Nu'keese left and Belle Glade is producing one or two low D1 athletes every year with a few exceptions (Benjamin, Taylor, etc). Crime and poverty taking over.
That or they've caught all the rabbits in the cane fields.

I grew up an hour away from Belle Glade, when Glades Central was seemingly unstoppable. Those were some beasts out there
Go Jaguars, Rangers and Yankees!

Correct, Dundee is tripping on Taylor and has been all year
Kid is average at best and certainly not goon certified

I'm not, but my favorite college football player ever, former Iowa QB Brad Banks, is a Glades Central grad. I've taken an interest in athletes from the area over the past few years.
