State of the Program ... Jensen Beach (FL)
Jensen Beach (FL)
Head Coach: Tom McMath (entering 16th season)
Staff: Chris Smith, Denzel Rego, Kyle Kirkham
Jensen Beach is one of the top programs in Florida 1A … they just happen to reside in the same region as the other top teams. Jensen Beach finished 4th at the 2021 Traditional State Tournament - behind fellow Region 4 foes Somerset and American Heritage Delray and ahead of Cardinal Gibbons and Mater Lakes. The 21-22 Jensen Beach crew will be back in the mix for the top spot and has all of the pieces in place to make a run at both a dual and traditional state title. The crew is led by returning State Champ Johnny Dobbs, State Runner-up Jewell Williams, and State Placers Ryan Duguay and Ryan Mooney.
This is a team that could have 4 (or maybe 5 with freshman hammer Sebastian Degannaro) on top of the podium in March. But in tough Region 4 - 5 will only get you so far up the podium. So Jensen Beach needs some others to step up and make some noise. Gian Ortiz won a match in Kissimmee as a freshman a year ago and will be in the hunt for a spot on the podium. JB also return State Qualifiers Matt O’Hara as well Ashton Roeder who transferred in from Oasis. Don’t be surprised if Duke Byfield, Luke Sopotnick or some of the others in the lineup being the difference in the end.
“We are very excited about this years team for the upcoming season. Lots of experience coming back, a very competitive room, and a bunch of kids working hard. ”
