Fans of high school football,let alone major college scouts, are well aware of the exploits of Sickles High’s Ray Ray McCloud. He recently became the all-time career rushing leader for Hillsborough County. And in a football hotbed like this, that’s saying a lot.
What says even more than those nearly 6,000 yards, however, is that McCloud is also a high-performance student. The Sickles senior owns a 3.9 grade-point average.
Some day another Hillsborough County running back will break his record. It’s inevitable. What’s hardly inevitable, however, is that somebody will do it while also starring in the classroom.
