Land O’ Lakes High School welcomed Shelton Quarles, Former Bucs Player and Super Bowl Champion and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers Director of Football Operations, to be the keynote speaker for the 2^nd Annual Land O' Lakes Gator Athletics Hall of Fame Induction Dinner. Last year’s Induction dinner garnered over $40,000 through sponsorships, ticket sales and auction proceeds. Five honorees were inducted this year: legendary Coach John Benedetto (posthumously), House Speaker Will Weatherford (1998), RJ McKenna (1982), Tina McWithey White (1979) and Dennis Blankenship (1980). The foundation was established last year by Land O' Lakes High School alumni and local businessmen Jerry Brewster and John Childers, CEO and Founder of JCIII and Associates. The former athletes credit much of their success to what they learned from the positive influence of their coaches and the rigors of athletic competition. They wanted to create a foundation which featured an event to honor former athletes and support future Land O' Lakes athletic programs. Dinner was prepared by the Land O' Lakes Academy of Culinary Arts students who not only prepared but also served the gourmet meal.
