MOORE HAVEN- Moore Haven senior Levi Watson signed a letter of intent to continue his education at Ava Maria. 

Watson signed his letter on Feb. 18 in a ceremony at Moore Haven Middle-High School. He’s one of five Terrier varsity football players who signed letters of intent this year. 

Earlier this month Zion Booth, Charvorious Higgens, Roobens Victor, and Michael Liriano all signed letters of intent. Booth committed to Edward Water, Higgens and Victor to North Dakota State College, and Liriano to Keiser University. 

Emanuel Hendrix took over head coaching duties for the Terriers this season. Hendrix previously spent time as the head coach of the Pahokee Blue Devils. Hendrix was hired in 2021 to replace outgoing coach D.J. Boldin. He graduated from Pahokee in 1998 and was the defensive coordinator for the Blue Devils under coach Boldin before he left to coach football at Lake Erie College.     

For the last two years the Terriers have made appearances in the regional final. Last season the Terriers secured their ticket to the regional final after upsetting the Community School of Naples Seahawks in the regional semifinal 28-14 before being knocked out by First Baptist Academy.  This season they advanced to the rural semifinal.
