With so many impressive games over the past five weeks being played in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, things slow just a little bit as we start Week 8.
As many district games will be played over the next few weeks, things get started today with five south Florida rated programs in action.
The spotlight game this evening will watch No. 16 Miami Norland (4-1) at No. 1 Miami Central (6-0) square off in a 7:00 game at Traz Powell Stadium at 7.
No. 2 Hollywood Chaminade Madonna gets back at it after two weeks off as they will be home against 0-6 Somerset Academy Key.
The Lions are 5-0 with games against Port St. Lucie Treasure Coast and Venice postponed because of Hurricane Ian.
This is a program that remains one of the best in the nation – and will be looking for an amazing seventh consecutive trip to the state finals.
For No. 6 Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons (6-1), it’s all about getting ready for the playoffs after falling to Plantation American Heritage a few weeks back.
The Chiefs head to Hallandale as they look to keep that momentum going after a win last week against Miami Belen Jesuit.
One of the teams that has not gotten it all together is No. 14 Hollywood Avant Garde Academy, who takes their 4-1 record into the game against Sports Leadership & Management (1-5). The Sharks are loaded with talent and will use this game as a tune up for next week’s huge district showdown with Chaminade-Madonna on the road.
