  Blake Miller '16 - Baseball, Basketball and Football
  

   

  Blake Miller ’16 played 5 years of Varsity Baseball, 4 years of Varsity football, and 2 years of Varsity Basketball.  His athleticism and leadership skills were evident from the start, as Blake was the starting second baseman in Varsity Baseball in eighth grade. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming the MVP of the baseball team just a short year later in 9th grade. For the following three seasons, Blake played a pivotal role as both third baseman and pitcher, helping lead the baseball team to some of the best seasons in school history. As a senior, he achieved honors such as team MVP, Conference Player of the year, Conference Tournament MVP, 1st team All-Conference, 1st team All-Dade, along with the team winning the Conference Championship.

   

  In football, Blake stood out from the start as one of the only freshmen to participate in Varsity football that season. During his first two seasons on the football team, he adapted to various positions as both he and the team faced challenges in finding success. However, at the start of his Junior year, he cemented himself as the starting Running Back, achieving tremendous success and playing a significant role in turning things around for the football program. During his time as a football player at Palmer Trinity, the team progressed from winning just one game during his first two seasons to becoming Conference Champions in his last game as a Falcon. In his Senior year Season, he showcased his talent with 150 rushes for over 1100 yards and 15 touchdowns. He received First-Team All-Conference Honors, a Miami-Dade All-Star selection, was named Conference Player of the Year, and received First-Team All-Dade Honors. 

   

  Blake took pride in his role as a multi-sport athlete, believing that contributing to multiple sports and benefiting the Athletic Program in as many ways as possible was extremely important.
