After near misses, Tenoroc football heads to playoffs with first district title
Third-year Tenoroc football coach Anthony Troutman just wanted to prepare his team to overcome adversity and adjust their mindset to consistently do the little things well heading into the 2026 season. And this was much needed. In 2024 the Titans fell short vs. Discovery and last year lost by a field goal to Lake Placid and was beaten in overtime by Avon Park. All these games held district implications, and losing adversely impacted Tenoroc's goals of winning the district. Well, this year is a completely different story. Troutman and the program learned from those mistakes and capitalized to go 3-0 in district action, which ultimately captured Tenoroc's first football district championship. They clinched the title thanks to a 35-7 victory over Liberty Oct. 23. "It was a tremendous accomplishment to be a part of that first particular one. It was an accomplishment and a tremendous feeling. ... I always say it's not the name of the place that makes the place. It's the people of the place that makes the place. It's not names. It's the people," Troutman said. 3 straight shutouts: Defensive trio leading Tenoroc football with 3 straight shutouts Tenoroc roundup: Tenoroc football continues perfect season, other Polk
