Bartow High School

Bartow High School is on the hunt for another state championships. The Yellow Jackets will look to Ja’kylen Crossley (2026) to lead the way after his school record 100 three-pointers made last season. Division I offerees Derwyn Link (2028) and Jah’mir Wallace (2026) will also look to have an impact. James Ratteree (2028), Matthew Williams (2027), and Dylan Brinson (2027) will be reliable contributors as well. Bartow is working with passion each day creating a synergy that will lead to an intense defensive force opponents will have to face each game.

Bartow has a tough schedule, including: South Florida powerhouses Stranahan and Miami Norland, Westlake (GA), and Polk County rivals Lakeland, Winter Haven, and Santa Fe Catholic. All eyes are set on Polk County’s version of “The Brotherhood” continuing their streak of State Title contentions.
