Tampa, Fla. -- Jawuan Coffee can't explain why he decided to tell his story on the biggest day of football life.

Very few people at Jefferson High School knew what pushed Jawuan on the football field. All they have to know is that the wide reciever loves life, regardless of where it's taken him.

"I don't want to be one of those people that starts at the bottom and stays at the bottom," Jawuan said the day after signing to play football at Becker College in Massachusetts.

"I have a lot of selfless kids, yes they love to score 20 points a game, but they also know that at the end we win as a team and we lose as a team and each one of them has a vital role in that," said Tampa Prep head coach Joe Fenlon.

It was a runaway game Friday on the campus of Jesuit High School in Tampa as the Tigers made easy prey of the Lennard Longhorns.

From the beginning, you could tell that Lennard was overmatched taking on a strong Jesuit squad that has plenty of playmakers with some height.

In the first quarter, Jesuit got off to a good start by taking a 15 to 6 lead over Lennard. In the second quarter, Jesuit added another 15 as they coasted into halftime with a 30-16 lead.

Plant City, Florida -- On the football field 18-year-old Dazmond Patterson is a star.

"He's a student of the game he's always asking questions even as a freshman he'd ask coach how can I get better," said Wayne Ward, head football coach at Plant City High School.

In the classroom, the running back is a straight "A" student with a 4.8 GPA.

"My mom always told me school before football," said Dazmond.

But it's his life off the field that lands the Plant City High School student as a finalist in PARADE Magazines prestigious Rudy Awards.
