The Flag Division: Hungry for Redemption
Last year’s heartbreaking Super Bowl loss by just two points has fueled the Jr. Gators’ flag team all offseason. This year, they return ready to finish the job.
• Bosten Hollier, the team’s returning star, is set to lead the charge with his leadership and playmaking ability.
• Chosen Chevis brings consistency and speed on both sides of the ball.
• Newcomer “Smoke” Wilson is a name already buzzing around the program — many expect him to have a breakout season.
This group is talented, confident, and hungry. Fans won’t want to miss them take the field.

8U: Young but Dangerous
Don’t let the youth of the 8U Gators fool you — they’re battle-tested and tough. Coming off a Super Bowl run last season, they’re anchored by two defensive leaders:
• Linebackers Reed Mire and Beckham Hollier, who set the tone with hard-nosed defense.
• On offense, K.J. Lair is simply a sight to see. His combination of speed, vision, and explosive playmaking ability will leave fans shaking their heads in disbelief — you won’t believe your eyes watching him play.
• The electric duo of cousins Cruz and Jorden Davis bring even more firepower with their quickness and athleticism.
The challenge? The Gators will face the two-time defending champion Seahawks, who boast a massive offensive line that has bulldozed opponents for back-to-back titles. This matchup will be a true test of grit and heart. Its also a rematch of last years Superbowl.

10U: The Powerhouse Squad
If there’s one group in the Gators’ program that feels like a juggernaut, it’s the 10U. Loaded with talent and experience, they might be the toughest team in the league.
• Kyron Lair is a generational talent — the kind of player fans will talk about for years. His skillset is unmatched, and his relentless work ethic ensures he will never be outworked. He is the heart and soul of this Gators team.
• Playmakers like Kenyon Gradnigo and Dillion James headline an explosive offense.
• Their defense? Nearly impenetrable, having allowed just 19 total points last season.
Standing in their way are the Seahawks, led by hard-hitting defender Legend Reed and offensive superstar Brayzlon Henry, the reigning Super Bowl MVP at 8u. Add in the leadership of new head coach Darrien Carrier, and this showdown promises to be a war.

12U: Grown Men in the Trenches
Last year, the Jr. Gators 12U squad was young and still finding its identity. This year, they return bigger, stronger, and much more dangerous.
• On defense, their front line is ferocious:
• Cay’Vron Williams and Ethan “Juicemann” Brown at defensive end.
• Jase “Juice” Brown and Damarion Wise clogging the middle.
• Offensively, the team is stacked at running back and wide receiver, with Mason Brown stepping in at quarterback to lead the charge.
But across the field stands the defending champions — and maybe the scariest 12U team in the state. The Seahawks bring back Zay Robinson, arguably the best player in Louisiana youth football. Add in stars like Ja’Kyren Benjamin and Val Thibodeaux, and this team looks even stronger than before. This game will be a true test of will and toughness.
