As spring football continues, the News-Press and Naples Daily News will provide in-depth lookaheads for each SWFL program.
Here’s a look at the games being played on Tuesday, May 21.
Naples at Venice
Shawn Simeon #5 of the Naples High School football team is congratulated after running for seven touchdowns against Port Charlotte during Region 3S-4 semifinal on Friday, Nov. 17, 2023. Naples won 63-33.
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Naples: Shawn Simeon, who holds offers from Florida State, Iowa, and Illinois among others, tallied 2,040 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns on 188 touches last season and is poised to dominate again in his senior campaign. The situation at quarterback is reminiscent of the Stanley Brant III era at Naples in 2021. After Carter Quinn departed for Lely, head coach Rick Martin had to find someone on the roster who could make plays under center and landed on rising junior Alijiah Molina. Molina, who played defensive back on JV last year, has had the reigns of the offense for all of two weeks but has the athletic tools to be a solid compliment next to Simeon as the season progresses. This offseason will be key in getting him comfortable and familiar with Martin’s offense. On the other side of the ball, Naples returns a combined 161 total tackles and 22 sacks in rising seniors Sean Kabengele, Khari Bendolph, and Brady Clark on the defensive line. Expect that trio to cause problems for opposing offenses. With Kensley Faustin’s departure to Auburn, the Golden Eagle secondary will look to rising senior Jordan Bergeron and rising junior Andre Ferdinand. Bergeron reeled in two interceptions and broke up seven passes last year, while Ferdinand had two interceptions of his own with five passes deflected.
