Coordinator) and dJ reyes (Hillsborough senior Mentor and program Coordinator) fielded composite teams of staff, mentors and veteran
defendants. Hillsborough's team included VtC Judge Mike scionti, state Attorney Andrew Warren, and VtC mentors.
Cheerleading duties were performed by the public defender team of Marie Marino and lauren nayrouz. pinellas
