Over the past few years, the Miramar High football program has turned heads in late October into November.
The Patriots and head coach A.J. Scott have used the early portion of the season to play a competitive schedule and prepare for the stretch run.
Winning the district once again last year, this team went 6-1 down the stretch, which gave them 12 October-November wins the past two seasons.
Early season losses to Virginia power Highland Springs, Fort Lauderdale Dillard and 3M four-time defending state champion St. Thomas Aquinas got them ready to make a statement late in the season.
Despite an eight-point loss to 4M power Davie Western to close out the regular season, the Patriots beat Hialeah American and Miami Belen Jesuit in the first two rounds of the state playoffs. That set up a region final game at Homestead. This year, even though they lost, 22-17, it was a game that they could have won. Remember, Homestead ended up taking St. Thomas Aquinas down to the wire in Tallahassee in the state title game.
With several key positions to fill, there is a sense that this will be a deep enough team to make yet another run this coming season.
Here are some of the prospects to keep an eye on throughout the rest of the spring and into the summer:
