The second day of the first Miami Super Showdown Classic at Traz Powell Stadium not only brings the kickoff classic week to a close, but also will feature some impressive football teams.

Four games on one day will showcase highly-recruited prospects and teams that will be in the mix for the state playoffs this year – and it all starts at 10 a.m.

As the 2024 high school football season is less than a week away, things have been busy in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. As many have long view the kickoff classics as a tune-up for the first week, there are others who have taken this “Week 0” as a unique opportunity to showcase players and team that will be on display this coming season.

Here is a look at today’s matchups:

Homestead vs. West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman (Traz Powell, 10 a.m.). What a start to the day as two-time defending state runner-up Homestead and a Crusader program that has put themselves in a position to contend over the past few years.

Miami Norland vs. Seffner Armwood (Traz Powell, 1 p.m.). If there was any game that people wanted to see this kickoff classic season will watch the defending state runner-up Vikings hosting a program that has long been one of Florida’s powers, and fans in this area know the Hawks very well.

Jackson vs. Carol City (Traz Powell, 5:30). Welcome back two traditional powers to center stage as both programs have found their coaching staffs and talent to embark toward the top. This is certainly one of those throwbacks to when the #305 was about the Generals and Chiefs.

Miami Palmetto vs. Northwestern (Traz Powell, 8:30). The official debut of first-year head coach Teddy Bridgewater will put the Bulls in focus as they prepare for next week’s National Broward Showcase. But while paying attention to that longtime iconic program, keep in mind that the Panthers are coming into the final tune up – loaded and one of the favorites in their region.
