Sun ‘n Fun wasn’t the only air show April 5.
Anyone who attended the VTO Football Combine at Plant City High School got to see for themselves, as some of the hundreds of participants could be seen diving through the air to make a catch.
Dozens of fans lined the bleachers to watch the drills, which were accompanied by hip-hop music and a PA announcer. There was 7-on-7 football, in addition to some entertaining man-to-man battles between receiver and cornerback, to keep things interesting for even the casual fan.
In addition to several area athletes participating, there were also some local coaches — such as the Raiders’ Greg Meyer — who donned VTO gear and oversaw the drills.
