Four players who played high school baseball in the area were selected during the three days of the Major League Baseball draft.

Duval County Public Schools sent a message to families of students at Mandarin Middle School and Atlantic Coast High School, announcing additional security on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Atlantic Coast and Fletcher were the last two high schools announced as the beneficiaries of full-time certified athletic trainers through the Project 17 program. It aimed to put a certified athletic trainer at every one of Duval Countys 17 public high schools by 2020. Once that was complete, those ATs would leave the Project 17 structure and transition to Duval County Public Schools employees as ATs. Currently, 12 certified ATs have gone through Project 17 and made it into the Duval system. The final five schools, Atlantic Coast, Fletcher, Mandarin, Paxon and Sandalwood, will complete Project 17 within the next two years.
