Through The years, the Broward County Athletic Association’s North-South All-Star Game has always been a close contest between some of the best football prospects in the county.
On Thursday night – before a packed house at Nova High School – the two teams once again battled to the end as the South prevailed 14-7.
With an impressive band, quality cheerleaders and fans pouring into Davie, this game did not disappoint, and college coaches and media outlets had an opportunity to see a well-played and competitive game as West Broward Head Coach Brian McCartney (South) and Coral Glades Head Coach Cam Thomas (North) made the practice days pay off.
With Cypress Bay quarterback Ryder Lewin winning the MVP of the game, Stranahan RB Sincere Rodriguez winning Offensive MVP and defensive lineman Justin Tedim winning the MVP for the South defense, the North also had some outstanding performers as well – with Blanche Ely QB Nah’coy Daniels and Fort Lauderdale DE Jaylin Jackson taking home MVP awards.
“This was one of the best all around games we have had,” said BCAA Director of Athletics & Student Activities Shawn Cerra. “Great game, outstanding job by our all-star band and cheerleaders and I am thoroughly impressed with the crowd that came out.”
