He wants a district title.And he wants his players to believe they can achieve those goals.If Monday's opening practice session is any indication, Romano won't have to do much convincing. In a night session that finished after the sun went down, Wellington's 85 or so players hooted and hollered all the way through to the last whistle.But Wellington's bravado is only part of its foundation. Senior offensive tackles Brynjar Gudmundsson (6-4, 265) and Austin Peavler (6-3, 275) are the heart of a veteran offensive line that features four seniors and one junior."We're not surprising anyone with what we want to do," Romano said. "Running the ball is our bread and butter."With a hefty group of returning players and a great offensive line in place, early practices give Romano a chance to see what he has to build on top of his solid team's foundation. And he liked what he saw on Monday."This is a good group of kids," Romano said. "Our goal is to compete against [defending Class 5A District 13 champion] West Boca Raton. That's what I want these kids shooting for."http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:aB8iNyvnb2MJ:m.pbpost.com/pbpost/db_41304/contentdetail.htm%3Bjsessionid%3D7D1C0EB5653379FAEC0B42233547D34A%3Fcontentguid%3DxKAyhK5A%26storycount%3D41%26detailindex%3D2%26pn%3D0%26ps%3D10%26full%3Dtrue+Brynjar-Gudmundsson%2BWellington%2BWeight+Lifting&cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellington coach Chris Romano said what stands out is his athleticism and agility, along with his youth -- he just turned 17 last month. Gudmundsson is 6-3 and 265 pounds, and while he's playing tackle at Wellington, Romano said he expects him to be a guard at USF, or even a center, the position he played last season. He's also played some tight end and defensive end, so there's versatility to be sure.Gudmundsson's father is from Iceland and his mother from South America, making him arguably the most international player in USF football history. Romano said he chose the Bulls over offers from Central Florida, Marshall and Florida International, and Syracuse was "very interested" but had yet to make an offer.http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/bulls/content/two-commits-lb-pozniak-ol-gudmundsson#comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
