This crazy Week 4 will be filled with four nights of football in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, and it all begins this evening.
With the Jewish Holiday moving most games away from Friday night, there will still be a full schedule of contests that will go a long way in determining some early season rankings and district competition.
With six games slated tonight in the two counties, one of the spotlight games will be in Broward County when the powerful Coconut Creek Monarch Knights and head coach Calvin Davis will visit first year head coach Quentin Short and his Piper Bengals.
While Piper is starting to build, the Knights are certainly looking to repeat last year’s district title and state playoff run with a number of quality prospects.
