At a time when much of the focus in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties falls on the larger schools, who are looking for a playoff spot, very little attention has been paid on the smaller schools.
With some quality programs who continue to hide under the radar, football fans seem to miss out on those schools who work just as hard and get little or no recognition.
Tonight (7:00) at AutoNation Field in Davie, two smaller programs come in for on of the best matchups in the two counties.
Head Coach Ehren Wallhoff and his 6-0 Lions of Fort Lauderdale Westminster Academy head south to clash with head coach Mike Norman and his 6-0 Sharks.
The contest features some quality student/athletes who have already made an impact.
