In 2003, this coach's team defeated a Palm Beach County opponent and made him only the fourth coach ever in Florida to win 300 games.

Who is the coach and what team did he coach?

 

George Smith 

 

Sta

 

Idk but that my best guess

 

Or maybe Corky Rogers for Bolles

Were all wins IN Florida? Billy Livings Veros old head coach had over 200 wins in state, and over 300 wins including his coaching time in AL. He retired in 2006 so it’d been close to around then.

It is Billy Livings of Vero Beach.  In October of 2003, he earned his 300th career coaching victory when Vero Beach beat Wellington 20-0 at the field named in his honor. Livings joins Carl Madison (315-140), Gene Cox (313-99-4) and Corky Rogers (304-63-1) as the only Florida coaches with at least 300 wins at that time.

Too bad we don't have anyone on the forum from Vero who could have helped with this one.:rolleyes:  Good job Trelle!

Not to put you on the spot young man, but......some extra credit for you Mr Trelle.:)

Who is the only player(s) from Vero to ever have his jersey retired?

I believe it was Kenny Holmes, but I could also see it being possibly Gary Parrish, he’s still a living legend around Vero.

And yes sir I was playing back then I think I remember that game but it’s been a little bit lol. The game against Wellington I remember is the year before when the Palm Beach Post predicted us to finish last and we wound up going undefeated and locked up the district against Wellington because my former line coach (and great man) Coach Ahrens agrees to shave his head if we won the game and we wound up shaving it in the end zone at Wellington

Kenny Holmes-yes!

Gary Parris-yes!

You are missing one.  Hint...he played Tight End.

Kenny Holmes (defensive end, 1992)

Dominant edge rusher recorded 22 sacks during his senior year; two-time first-team All-Big East selection at the University of Miami; two-time captain for the Hurricanes; recorded 207 tackles and 29 sacks at Miami; drafted by the Tennessee Oilers in the first round in 1997; registered 38.5 sacks during his seven-year NFL career; current defensive line coach at Florida International

Gary Parris (tight end, 1968)

Two-time all-state second-team selection and a three-time All-Suncoast East first-team selection at Vero Beach; earned 15 letters in college (four in basketball, baseball and track and three in football); named the team’s top underclassman in 1966 and '67; played in Florida High School All-Star Game; signed with Florida State and finished career with 82 catches for 1,125 yards and five touchdowns; drafted by the San Diego Chargers in the 15th round in 1973; caught 45 passes and five touchdowns in 91 NFL games; named Indian River County’s Athlete of the Century in 2004

Tight End threw me off for a second because he didn’t play it in the pros for my favorite team (Go Pats!!! Ps Favorite team since the early 90s when they stunk, was actually irritated I was a Bledsoe guy and wasn’t happy they benched him healthy for Brady lol) 

Bryan Stork should be the last one, forgot but remembered they did it a few years ago. Maybe during a homecoming game I think had an on field celebration he brought Vero one of the awards the NFL give high schools if their players win a SuperBowl.

My dad coached for Sebastian and Vero I grew up going to the games, and him telling me stories from the past so I’d like to think I have somewhat of a good knowledge of the team. Livings wanted him to be one of his assistants again when I played but he was done with the FL heat lol

It is Bryan Stork!  Holmes, Parris and Stork were the 3 Vero players to have their jerseys retired.  Now you can go stump your friends.:lol:

Bryan Stork (offensive line/tight end, 2009)

Had 43 pancake blocks during his senior year where he primarily played tight end; signed with Florida State; started at both guard spots for the Seminoles before settling in as a center as a junior; won the Rimington Award as the nation’s top center as a senior; was a consensus All-American and first-team All-ACC pick as a senior when he helped lead Florida State to the BCS National Championship; drafted by the New England Patriots in the fourth round in 2014; started 11 regular season games as a rookie as well as Super Bowl XLIX; retired from NFL in 2017; currently a graduate assistant at Southern Miss

    • As reported by Josh on this site, Sumner's head football coach, Alonzo Ashwood, was dismissed.  No reason for the dismissal was given, but it certainly wouldn't have been based on the team's on-the-field performance.   I've got a hunch the coach crossed one of those pesky rule lines, perhaps one too many times, and left the principal with little choice.   Again, just speculation on my part.   It'll be interesting to see what repercussions this has for the Stingrays.   Here's a link to Josh's article: http://floridahsfootball.com/2024/05/20/alonzo-ashwood-dismissed-at-sumner-after-four-seasons-per-report/
    • Vero’s offense struggled the entire game, the lone score came on a scoop and score via a fumble. White showed the characteristics of a presumed first year starter. His ability is there no doubt, he’ll just need to settle into the starting role.    West Boca was much more effective- leaning on their 4* running back Javian Mallory, can see them having another good year. They would have probably won the game had it gone a little longer.   
    • If all the talk from the head coach about Dillard being bigger and better this year and how last year in his first year was a trial and error for him, it better be an easy dub. Lol
    • As For my Dillard panthers , this will be a huge test for us before things crank up for real in the next few months.    right now Dillard will be coming in this game with a lot of questions. Whose gonna be the Starting QB after a lot of controversy in last year playoff lost to ely where the fans and some of the players felt the sophomore back up should have replaced the junior starter after constantly turning the ball over.    the panthers also will be debuting a new OC & a new DC for the 2024 season. Last year while the defense was average to above average. Our offense appeared to be very basic & vanilla with No real offensive schemes to get the playmakers open.    we’ve gotten a few transfers in & promoted a few great players from JV to varsity. & with this being year 2 of Dillards new head coach & being placed in a new district I’m interested to see the adjustments & progressions in this season vs last season.    this has the make to be a very good game if the weather permits for all 4 quarters, but until proven otherwise I’m going to take the knights in this game in a final score of    DILLARD 21 MONARCH 28 what do you guys think of this matchup @nolebull813 @FBGUY1989 @cribboy305
    • it’s interesting how times have changed. About 10 years ago on back monarch used to be one of the doormats when it came to football, along side other teams in that area such as coral glades, Coral Springs, taravela to name a few.    but in the last 2 years the knights football program has made some serious strides. In 2022 they finished (9-3) with a 2nd round playoff overtime loss to palm beach gardens.    in 2023- the knights finished (11-3) making it all the way to the state semis where they lost 51-21 to the mandarian mustangs.   this year the knights feel they have the team to go all the way with a huge O-Line & D-Line, 2 3* star receivers both stand at 6’3 & 6’4 respectively. To add to that they also have a dynamic C/O of 2027 Dual Quarterback in Jack Spader who can make plays at a high percentage with his hands or his feet ; which is why the knights are going to have one of the most prolific offenses in the state this year.
