There is no doubting that this week – the fourth week of the 2023 high school football season 0 there have been some impressive games.
At the start of the season, we had explained that this could be one of the most competitive seasons we have ever had – and with so many games grabbing national attention, there is a reason for that statement.
No. 1 Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna at No. 6 Plantation American Heritage, 7:30. This is a game that has been much anticipated since Lions won a thriller at home last year. Both teams are loaded with prospects and are well coached.
The Patriots had last week off when their game at Glades Central was cancelled, so they will be fresh and ready to go.
The Lions polished off national power Bergen Catholic of New Jersey as they look to make a claim for a coveted national title. If they are to accomplish that, they will have to do it on the road -where they play eight times this season.
