Today our WTB family shared in the Zeller family’s loss. Richard Zeller, a mainstay in the Bucs community, loving husband and amazing father passed away. This is not a formal obituary, simply a note to a friend. Richard was always here for our Krewe. Whether taking his beautiful daughter, Hailey (Princess Nasty), to Training Camp …Read More
Florida showed up today folks. The clouds were nowhere to be seen and the team got a taste of Florida summer in full pads. QB play was sharp across the board and the offense was able to make some progress against a defense missing Swaggy Baker and Robert Ayers. Focus on the deep ball was …Read More

The staff was working in the lab on install, details, diagnostics and adjustments while testing depth at key areas. Starting OL looked fine but the defense was clearly a step ahead.
