For the first time in 16 years, Chaminade-Madonna walked out of a game with Plantation American Heritage with a win.
Last Friday night, a capacity crown saw the Lions remain unbeaten with a thrilling victory over head coach Mike Smith and his Patriots, 42-34, keeping their national title hopes alive.
While the Lions turned the ball over several time and made numerous mistakes, the talent and depth prevailed in the end.
Every time head coach Dameon Jones and his team tried to pull away, the Patriots had an answer as the battle between Ohio State-bound senior running back Mark Fletcher Jr. and Chaminade-Madonna impressive junior Davion Gause stole the spotlight with both having a say in this epic classic.
Even though the Patriots lost the game, many expect them to rebound and make a solid run at the state title game. The Lions are aiming for a record seventh consecutive state finals appearance.
