It’s been nearly one year since Chaminade-Madonna traveled to Traz Powell Stadium to take on Miami Northwestern.
It was a matchup that many had looked forward to as two of south Florida’s powerhouses were getting together and putting it on the line.
After the Thursday meeting was called because of Lightning, the contest was moved two days later, and while it wasn’t the same atmosphere as it would have been on that Thursday, the Lions came out and took it to the Bulls and never looked back.
Beating them in every phase of the game, Chaminade-Madonna took home a convincing 42-14 and used it as a springboard to yet another state title – beating Clearwater Central Catholic in the 1M title state championship game in Tallahassee.
Tonight (7:00), while it’s just a kickoff classic, the Lions once again return to Traz Powell Stadium.
While the Bulls have a tough opener on the road in Vero Beach, and the Lions will faceoff with national powerhouse St. Frances Academy on ESPN, this game means more than people think. It's an opportunity for Chaminade and head coach Dameon Jones to show why they are favorites to win another state crown – while first year head coach Michaelee Harris is out to get his alma mater off to a great start in his first game.
In addition to this game, there are other quality matchups tonight to get the year under way:
