Pahokee, FL 33476 (Palm Beach County); home of the Blue Devils; one of the most extraordinary football talent-producing schools in American high school sports history; located in the impoverished agricultural community of Pahokee on the western shore of Lake Okeechobee — a region known as "the Muck" for its rich organic soil used in sugarcane farming; alma mater of Rickey Jackson (Pro Football Hall of Fame 2010; University of Pittsburgh; New Orleans Saints linebacker; 6× Pro Bowl; one of the most feared pass rushers of the 1980s), Fred Taylor (University of Florida; Jacksonville Jaguars; 11,695 career rushing yards), and Anquan Boldin (Florida State; 8-time Pro Bowl WR; Super Bowl champion); the concentration of Pro Bowl and Hall of Fame talent from this tiny rural community is one of the most remarkable stories in American sports
