Plant City resident, Terrie Campbell, was the recipient of the morning’s show annual Mother’s Day giveaway. Terrie is a school bus driver with Hillsborough County Public Schools and knows the names of every student on her route. She provides clothing and food to her students in need and helps mentor those who have been bullied. Show host Sam Champion surprised Terrie as she was dropping off students at PCHS. GMA treated Terrie to breakfast, prepared by celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse, and Hilton Hotels gifted Terrie with a new bed and a fishing trip to Mexico.
With PCHS and SCHS nine miles apart, the 2019 FHSAA Class 8A State Championship Baseball game was a war between friends and neighbors. The two schools faced off in Ft. Myers, Florida with Plant City beating Crest 3-1. The Raiders (30-2) made their first state baseball appearance in almost 100 years. PCHS made its first district, regional and state appearance. With Crest (19-11) making its second straight state tournament and first championship game. With the two hometown teams competing against one another, at the state level, the community was abuzz. The game was held on the same date as Plant City’s Class of 2019 graduation. Thus the six seniors on the team, and the students who chose to attend the game instead of the formal graduation, were presented with their diplomas in a special graduation ceremony in the school’s auditorium. Rep. Ross Spano recognized the schools on the Florida congressional floor for their state championship appearances, acknowledging the athletic talent within the district.
