Amendment 3 Passed. Now we do the math

Amendment 3 passed last Tuesday with 62% of the statewide vote (65% in Manatee County), which surpassed the 60% threshold needed to add the additional tax exemptions into the Florida Constitution. I’m not going to rehash the risks, or the merits, of this as it’s now final. You can look back on my Substack for posts if you’d like to review my thoughts.

Jupiter football no match for Palmetto in FHSAA playoff opener

JUPITER – Scoring on the final plays of each half might usually indicate a favorable outcome for a football team. But it only provided some consolation for Jupiter in a tough matchup against Palmetto in the FHSAA Class 6A playoffs opener at Charlie Persson Field Friday night. From the outset, the Panthers were just too much, scoring early and often on their way to a 42-9 victory. Running back Aiden Butler carries 20 times for 190 yards and two touchdowns behind Palmetto’s huge offensive line and the No. 1-seeded Panthers moved on to meet the winner between No. 4 West Broward and No. 5 South Dade in the Region 4 second round. “We came out slow and you can’t do that against a good Palmetto team like that,” Warriors running back-defensive back Nike Bothe said. “We started to fight in the second quarter, but they had the upper hand on us. I just love my guys, I’ll take them over anyone.” Eighth-seeded Jupiter (9-2) won back-to-back district titles, something coach Josh Brooks said the Warriors had not accomplished since 1990 and 1991. But they just could not slow Palmetto down early in the game. Submit your best high school sports
