THE COLONELS FILE
Head Coach: Steve Davis
2021 Record: 9-3
THE SCOOP
While their season ended with a 57-14 setback at Miami Northwestern, the way that this program got to the third round of the state playoffs was indeed very impressive.
With an early season loss to Coconut Creek, even in the second week of the season, turned out to be the district title game, this team rallied and went on to make quite a splash.
After that loss to Coconut Creek, the Colonels won eight of nine games, losing only to Fort Lauderdale Dillard in a thrilling 41-40 game.
Along the way, this program came up with regular season wins against South Miami (44-7), Hollywood Hills (40-0), Sunrise Piper (42-19), Lauderdale Lakes Boyd Anderson (51-8), Miramar Everglades (61-0), Oakland Park Northeast (48-0) and rival South Plantation (61-0).
The opening round of the playoffs was perhaps the biggest win this program has had in over a decade, knocking off No. 1 seed unbeaten Fort Myers Dunbar (44-20) and getting back at Coconut Creek (42-7) before dropping the third-round contest in Miami.
As they look toward the 2022 season, this is a team that has the talent to compete once again – with key returnees and some newcomers.
