Can you believe how fast the 2022 season flew by?

Well, when No. 2 Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna kicks off their seventh consecutive state championship game on Thursday night against Clearwater Central Catholic, we will start the final two weeks of the season.

The game at Tallahassee’s Gene Cox Stadium will usher in four games this week and five next week here in south Florida at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.

While everyone has stopped ranking teams, our objective has always been to promote and expose right down the final week of the season.

The objective is to give every team their place in the spotlight.
