ENGLEWOOD — The banners hung by students from the walls of the Lemon Bay High School gymnasium were in memory of their late classmate, Jerone Campbell.
During a moment of silence before the Manta Rays game against Cypress Lake, the gym was eerily quiet as the players bowed their heads in reflection. Lemon Bay coach Sean Huber stood next to Robert Morrow and put his hand on the player’s back, feeling a deep, heavy inhale.
