Chaminade-Madonna Ready To Line It Up With Anyone!

When head coach Dameon Jones and his two-time defending state champions took the field on Thursday night at Cardinal Gibbons as part of a three-team kickoff classic, all eyes were the Lions.

One of the best teams in the state of Florida, this program has reached a level where reloading is the order each year, and while they are young in so many areas, this is a team that will be winning and being recognized nationally for years to come.

With so much talent to choose from, the Lions have received attention from colleges and universities at just about every position. But there’s one spot that everyone is paying the most attention – the offensive line.

Known for the protection that they have given top quarterbacks and running backs through the years, this is a line that has continued to mature and grow. This year, they are considered to be one of the best in the state.

This fortress of talent includes seniors Deandre Duffus (6-5, 314), Elvin Harris (6-6, 300), Indiana University commitment William Larkins, 6-4, 305), Matthew Cook (6-7, 290) and Giovani Marks (5-11, 240).

The junior class features Jackson Campbell (6-3, 270) and Josh Zeikowitz (6-4, 290).

Freshman Kirby Vital (6-2, 250) and Mekhi Bradley (6-2, 285) are indeed the future.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

After Thursday night’s jamboree with host Cardinal Gibbons and Miami Palmetto, it’s time to turn the page – as the Lions and Chiefs will take part in the Broward County Football Showcase next week, and the Panthers will kick things off next Thursday against a potent Homestead team.
