Venice High School

Thank you, Max.

Venice High School head football coach John Peacock is under investigation by the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office for allegedly recording private phone conversations without consent and posting them online, a possible felony under Florida law.

As Chloe Nelson reports for the Daily Sun, despite these allegations, Peacock remains actively coaching and is expected on the sideline for tonight's big game against Riverview.

The investigation centers on calls from a number of authorities linked to Peacock, who allegedly used an alias during conversations.

He's a great guy, by the way.

Played at Venice High School in Florida.

Are they going to stand him up? Are they going to move him from side to side? Are we going to see him move around almost like a specialist wide receiver you would see in the NFL where they know that teams are trying to, okay, where's Waldo? You move him around to make it at least harder on the defense? Well, this is the flip side of that.

They want to get pressure in Ashton's face.

Uh, they weren't able to find any solutions, so they sent him to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville for further testing, and that's where, uh, according to, to Drinkwitz's update, the doctors discovered that he was suffering from a more serious issue.

Um, Jones, of course, a, a four-star recruit in this 2026 class out of Venice High School in Florida.

Um, guys, just an incredibly scary and, and sad situation.

Like I mentioned, you know, Drinkwitz was very, very emotional, um, talking about it and, uh, and, and, and bringing the update.

Uh, one of the reasons why we're so bullish on Hudson West right now, he's got two 400-yard passing games already as a junior, and it's come against legit competition.

Palm Beach Lakes, which has some FBS guys in the secondary, and then two weeks ago against Venice High School, which it, it seems like every year they're playing for a state title in the, in the Sunshine State.

So- He's, he's certainly one where I think a lot of these air raid offensive coordinators, if, if Florida can't shut this down or, you know, maybe Florida State, Georgia Tech, they don't...

They're the other schools involved in the recruitment right now, then I, I think he's going to be an extremely hot name.

Why are Venice folks possibly waiting until 2028 to see their jetty fixed? Also, we'll meet an inspiring Navy vet who's shaking up the business world in Charlotte County.

And before we're done, let's just say if you think teens these days aren't making a difference, you'll wanna hear what some Venice High students pulled off this summer.

Hey, Max.

Good morning.

Here's hoping folks remember how much work went into making it happen next time signatures are needed.

All right.

Now onto something genuinely inspiring from Venice High School students Joey Schaffoval and Vivian Conradi.

Instead of treating community service as just another graduation requirement, they started a full-on food pantry program that packed almost two hundred thousand meals this summer.
