It's time to cast your vote for the Florida Power & Light Athlete of the Week, and this week's lineup is packed with standout performers from the gridiron and beyond. We're spotlighting three exceptional athletes who have left their mark on the field: Choctaw's Maddox Gentry, Niceville's Lincoln Broussard, and Fort Walton Beach's Izzy Douglas. Each of these competitors has shown the kind of grit and determination that defines champions.
But the excitement doesn't stop there—let's talk about a team that's rewriting the record books. The Pryor flag football squad just completed a flawless 14-0 season, capping it off with a dominant 40-0 victory over Destin to secure their 10th consecutive Okaloosa County title. Quarterback Bella Brooks was electric, breaking tackles and sprinting for a 66-yard touchdown run that had the crowd on its feet. Kadalina Bledsoe added two touchdowns of her own, while Jessalynn Robinson made a game-changing interception to swing momentum. Head coach Justin Savage got the celebratory dousing he deserved, and the team's unity was on full display as they hoisted the trophy once again.
Whether you're cheering for these weekly nominees or inspired by dynasties like Pryor, one thing is clear: Northwest Florida is home to some serious talent. So, who gets your vote? Make it count, and stay tuned to see which athlete takes home the honor this week.
