South Florida gets Week 2 of the high school football season off in style tonight with a battle of unbeaten teams at Traz Powell Stadium (7:00).
After registering wins on opening night, head coach Mike Manasco and his No. 9 Miami Palmetto Panthers will take on head coach Tim “Ice” Harris and the No. 12 Miami Booker T. Washington Tornadoes.
After the first week, both programs were impressive and made a claim that they will be a force this season. Among 7A schools, the Panthers are very much in the conversation – whole BTW is a certainly a team to keep an eye on in 2A.
