While so much attention in south Florida – when it comes to athletics – is directly on the high schools, and for good reason. But the area high school programs would never be where they are without the benefit of a strong middle school feeder program.

In Miami-Dade County, the success of so many sports can be traced back to middle school, and today we shine a spotlight on the many boys and girls who are wrapping up the fall schedule.

As many coaches put in long hours to help develop the student/athletes and get them ready to compete at the next level, they are making a huge impact.
