Despite Osceola Kowboys’ Massive Talent Departure, Same Lofty Expectations Remain

This past season was a typical year for the Osceola Kowboys football team. Osceola absolutely dominated district competition (3-0, outscoring opponents 150-10), they won six of nine regular season games against arguably the toughest schedule in the state, and then proceeded to win three post-season games and capture a regional championship before finally falling to eventual state champion Lakeland – in a game where they took the lead into the fourth quarter.

About the only thing unusual about Osceola’s season was that for the first time in recent memory the vast majority of its best players were seniors. A record five of them — Jamarion McCrimon (East Carolina), John Walker (UCF), Bo Mascoe (Rutgers), Ja’Keem Jackson (Florida), and Derrick LeBlanc (UCF) – signed Division-1 football offers. Several others will play at smaller schools. QB David Buggs, WRs Terry Cruz and TJ Massey, nose tackle Elijah Palermo, LB Drevon Lee and DBs Lecory Walker and Jayden Bradford – all important starters – were among the more than dozen players departing via graduation.

At first glance, it would appear Osceola might be destined to take a step back –especially since they are once again playing the same brutal schedule that includes seven 2022 playoff teams including state power Jones, Lakeland, Seminole, Mainland and West Orange.
