Lakeland, Miami Booker T. Washington, Miami Central and Miami Christopher Columbus. Four programs that are among the top 25 in the state of Florida. Four schools that have been beaten by Miami Norland.
When the unbeaten (8-0) Vikings beat Christopher Columbus, 16-3, last Friday night at Traz Powell Stadium, they captured the 2023 Greater Miami Athletic Conference (GMAC) title.
With head coach Dave Dunn and the Explorers finishing in second place for the second straight years, the Vikings and veteran head coach Daryle Heidelberg moved one step closer to an unbeaten regular season.
Big plays and solid defense guided Norland throughout the night.
Davie Western 14, Miramar 6. The Wildcats have started to make some noise and they are quickly getting the attention of the 4M program across the state as well as south Florida. Winning the district championship two weeks ago, they took care of business against the Patriots.
Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas 35, Coconut Creek Monarch 19. Coming into the game, the Knights felt they had a chance to stay right with the four-time defending state champions, but the Raiders put their foot on the gas and sent a message that they are ready for a fifth straight title run.
Miami Booker T. Washington 13, Miami Edison 0 - Miami Booker T. Washington 24, Homestead South Dade 7. One of the teams that you better watch for in 2M are the Tornadoes and head coach Tim “Ice” Harris. They have battled everyone involved and figures to play Central in the second round of the state round of the state playoffs. They are getting healthy at the right time.
