Congratulations to Dunbar Freshman Phenom Gabriella Vazquez! Today she became the Lee County Athletic Conference Champion and broke the school record with a time of 18:45.00 in the Varsity Girls race. What an incredible performance from a true freshman. Gabriella continues to raise the bar for Dunbar Cross Country. We are proud of you! #DunbarXC #LCACChampion #SchoolRecord #GoTigers #FreshmanPhenom

Big day for Dunbar Cross Country. Our Boys and Girls teams competed at the Lee County Athletic Conference Championship at Ida Baker today, and the Tigers delivered — plenty of personal records across the board. Proud of the effort and the results. Great job, Tigers.

What a night at the Trop. Rays 1, Yankees 0 in ALDS Game 1. Sold-out crowd of 40,542. Drew Rasmussen carried a no-hitter into the 8th with 10 strikeouts. Jonathan Aranda’s homer was the only run, and Bryan Baker closed it out. Great game with my family. #RaysUp #ALDS

Grateful for this administrator team. Homecoming does not happen without the people who stay late, work the radios, and take care of every detail so students can have the night. Great night for the Dunbar Tigers.

Homecoming Night belonged to the Tigers. Dunbar 52, Lehigh Senior 6. The Homecoming Court led the night, walking through the saber arch. JROTC held the line. The band set the tone. Then the football team put up 52. Proud of every student who showed up and represented Dunbar. Orange and green looked right under the lights. Go Tigers.

Walked in today and this was waiting. Thank you to the students and staff who made the banner. Proud to start as principal of a school that already has so much to celebrate — Microsoft champions on the wall, a trophy case full of Tiger history, and hallways full of spirit. Grateful to be here. Looking forward to the year with the Dunbar family.

Great morning at Riverdale High School with our Community Advisory Board. Thank you to Principal Julie Powell and her Raiders team for hosting.

What a Friday night at Dave Warkentin Stadium. Cape Coral and Riverdale gave both communities a district game worthy of the packed stands. The color guard, band, cheerleaders, and fans from both sides showed up the right way. Final: Cape Coral 21, Riverdale 20. 
Riverdale scored late to make it a one-point game and went for two. The conversion failed. The Seahawks held on. Proud of both teams. This is why we love Friday night football in Lee County.

Picked last. Finished first. Experts had the Rays last in the AL East this year. Win total: 77.5. Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium they clinched it — 6-1. Fifth title. First since 2021. 96-61. AL’s No. 1 seed. Spring Training said last place. September said champions.
