 Bizarre Week Ends With Ely Remaining Unbeaten

Going into last Saturday night’s regular season finale, most gave Pompano Beach Blanche Ely little chance of beating longtime rival Fort Lauderdale Dillard in the annual Soul Bowl matchup.

Playing the Panthers even for the entire first season, the game was stopped because the crowd on hand got out of hand and the Tigers were awarded the victory.

The 9-7 game-shortened win gave head coach Mike Bailey and his team a “perfect 9-0” record, heading into this week’s playoffs. A huge shot in the arm for a team that went 9-46 since the 2015-16 season.

While many dispute the win – others will take it and move on!

The Tigers head into the playoffs on a roll:

BOYD ANDERSON, W 32-0

CYPRESS BAY, W 42-7

Coral Springs, W 42-0

Coconut Creek, W 28-21

FORT LAUDERDALE, W 28-16

Deerfield Beach, W 7-0
Piper, W 38-14

WEST BOCA RATON, W 47-12

Dillard, W 9-7
