⚽🏴‍☠️ PIRATE VICTORY! 🏴‍☠️⚽

The Braden River Boys Varsity Soccer team earned an impressive 3-2 preseason victory over area powerhouse Lakewood Ranch last night!

While it may be preseason, this is the same Lakewood Ranch squad that finished 19-1-2 last season and defeated us twice in 2025 by scores of 2-0 and 5-0. Even more impressive, Braden River had not recorded a win over Lakewood Ranch since 2023.

⚽ Goal Scorers:

Mason Hernandez
Jordani Eccivil
Victor Philpotts

This was a tremendous team effort and a great way to start the season. When you see these young men around campus, be sure to congratulate them on a hard-fought win and their dedication to the program!

Way to go, Pirates! 💙⚽

What an unforgettable evening honoring athletic excellence, determination, and Pirate pride! Join us in officially congratulating the Inaugural Class of the Braden River High School Athletics Hall of Fame—all proud members of the Class of 2013: 🥎 Courtney Mirabella '13 (Softball)

A record-shattering force in the circle who led Florida in ERA (0.23) as a senior, earned All-American honors, set NCAA D-I strikeout milestones at NCCU, and pitched professionally in Europe! 🏀🏈 Trevon Young '13 (Basketball & Football)

A multi-sport powerhouse who was named FACA Class 7A Player of the Year in basketball (19.5 PPG) and an elite Florida Gators football recruit, before becoming a 1,000-point scorer at Eckerd College and playing 3 seasons of professional basketball overseas! ⚾ Myles Straw '13 (Baseball)

The ultimate example of heart and hustle—from working his way onto varsity after being cut as a freshman to hitting .370 as a senior, earning an MLB Heart and Hustle Award, playing for the Toronto Blue Jays, and competing in the 2025 World Series! To Courtney, Trevon, and Myles: thank you for setting the gold standard of excellence and inspiring generations of Pirates to come. Your legacies are forever cemented in Braden River history!

🏴‍☠️ HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE SPOTLIGHT: MYLES STRAW ⚾

Join us in celebrating a true testament to grit, resilience, and hard work! Myles Straw has officially been inducted into the Inaugural Class of the Braden River High School Athletics Hall of Fame!

Myles’ story is the ultimate example of the Pirate spirit—showing that success isn't about where you start, but how hard you're willing to hustle.

🌟 BRHS High School Highlights:

* Ultimate Resilience: After being cut as a freshman, he outworked the competition to earn a varsity starting spot as a sophomore!

* Dominant Senior Season (2013): Batted .370 with 27 hits and a .446 on-base percentage over 27 games!

Myles continued proving doubters wrong by walking on at St. Johns River State College before being selected by the Houston Astros in the 12th round of the 2015 MLB Draft. Known for his elite speed and Gold Glove-caliber defense, his remarkable big-league career has also featured a prestigious MLB Heart and Hustle Award and suiting up for the Toronto Blue Jays—helping power them to the 2025 World Series!

Thank you, Myles, for showing every future Pirate what can be achieved through pure determination and heart.

Once a Pirate, Always a Pirate! 🏴‍☠️💪✨
