JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It’s been a trying year for high school sports as the coronavirus pandemic has forced some games and practices to be canceled, leaving a lot of young athletes disappointed. But one Jacksonville high school will return to its athletic programs next year with renewed focus thanks to a gift of state-of-the-art equipment. At Raines High School, the student-athletes had to use workout equipment that was decades old, while others had the new stuff. Former Jaguars offensive tackle Tony Boselli’s foundation worked with Academy Sports + Outdoors to provide Raines $5,000 worth of new training and exercise equipment. Raines’ athletic director and principal were at Academy Sports’ Southside location on Tuesday to accept the gift from Boselli and Academy.
