As we have said over and over again, this year has already been special – with marquee matchup served up every week.
This week’s main course kicks off the 5th week of the 2022 season tonight – when No. 5 Miami Christopher Columbus (4-0) visits Miami Northwestern (3-1) at Traz Powell Stadium at 7:00.
For head coach Dave Dunn and his Explorers, this evening’s matchup is another chance to show that his team is among the elite ion the state. But the assignment is not that easy. They have not done well in the past with this program, but of course, that was a different time.
Head Coach Max Edwards and his Bulls truly need this win to put themselves back in the spotlight. They have played a crazy schedule – being dominated by No. 2 Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna two weeks ago, 42-14.
This is indeed a game that is going to get plenty of attention – with media and recruiting fan websites flocking to the “Mecca” for this quality south Florida contest.
