1/05/10: Video of the Day: Ed Foley - Treasure Coast H.S., FL
Posted by Chad Wilson in General on January 5th, 2010
This one is waaaaaaay overdue. For the entire 2009 season much of the focus on the Treasure Coast H.S. (Port St. Lucie, FL) football team was on highly recruited prospect Jeff Luc. Rightfully so since Luc is an impressive, imposing physical force that was recruited by just about everyone in the country. However, anyone who attended Treasure Coast football games this year knows that no one made more plays than linebacker Ed Foley. If there was a play to be made, Foley was there. Whether it was a timely blitz, interception or blocked kick, Foley appeared on the scene like Superman saving Lois Lane. Foley’s senior film shows you just that. From sideline to sideline, Foley tracks them down and puts them on the turf. Where’s Foley on the next play? Just find the football and he will be there. Outstanding instincts make him a sure playmaker on any level. He’s not as highly recuited as Luc and that has everything to do with the measureables that college coaches seem to have fallen in love with. When you measure heart and big plays, Foley is off the charts. Click here to view Ed Foley’s highlight video.
Foley and Luc Win Honors Then Lead Titans to First Playoff Win
Posted by Chad Wilson in High School Football on November 20th, 2009
2009 Continues to be a season of first for Treasure Coast High School football. For the first time in their history they have two players on the All FACA All District team. For the first time in their history they have an All 6-A player for the FACA District. For the first time in their history they have reached the playoffs and for the first time in their history they have won a playoff contest.
Two athletes who have played a big part in these achievements were on full display on Thursday. Early in the day, linebacker Ed Foley was voted to the All FACA District team along with his teammate, the highly recruited Jeff Luc. The FACA District covers 47 teams and covers the very fertile ground from Vero Beach to the North and Boca Raton to the South. It also stretches far enough West to include Pahokee and Belle Glade. You don’t need to be from the state of Florida to have an idea of what kind of talent that includes.
Along with the all district honors, linebacker Jeff Luc was named the All FACA District 6-A player of the Year. Both Foley and Luc celebrated their honors by taking to the field Thursday Night before notable college coaches like Urban Meyer, Florida’s Charlie Strong and USC’s Todd McNair to help the Titans garner their first ever playoff win 28-10 over Seminole Ridge. Down 10-0 in the first half, Luc broke through and blocked a Seminole Ridge field goal attempt. On the ensuing series, Treasure Coast narrowed the gap to 10-7. Foley turned in the biggest play of the game for the Titans early in the 2nd half. Still down 10-7, Foley blocked a Seminole Ridge punt and had the presence of mind to recover it at the two yard line and take it into the end zone to give Treasure Coast the lead for good. On the following series, Luc would recover a fumble to kill Seminole Ridge’s hopes for a quick answer.
In the end, Treasure Coast triumphed 28-10 for head coach Bill Kelley who was also named District FACA 6-A Coach of the Year. Treasure Coast will not await the winner of the Boca Raton Vero Beach contest on Friday Night.
