While many teams are off the final week of the season – or playing programs who may not be headed to the state playoffs, Clearwater Central Catholic and Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons have opted to do something different.
The Marauders and head coach Chris Harvey, who advanced to the 1M championship game last year, losing to Chaminade-Madonna, and 2M Cardinal Gibbons and head coach Matt Dubuc opted to save one of their toughest games for the regular season finale this evening at 6:00.
Both schools, who have enjoyed plenty of success over the years, will be headed into the state playoffs next week, but this huge test will certainly help both schools get ready for a run that hopefully end each program in Tallahassee in the first week of December.
