I know we have said it the past month, but this season has flown by, and for some teams, way too fast.
As we have three weeks left in the regular season, there are still a number of programs searching for that coveted post season spot.
Because of the challenging schedules we have already watched several Miami-Dade and Broward programs who figure to make a major run at a state title. The only question remains if which programs get hot at the right time?

When Miami Central roared out to a 20-0 lead in the first half, NOBODY could have predicted the finish some two hours later,
If they were writing a Hollywood ending to this 2023 season, it was certainly enhanced when the Vikings came back and remained unbeaten with a 29-26 overtime victory against a Rocket team that has dominated the landscape of football in the state of Florida.
While the four-time defending state champions walked out of Traz Powell Stadium on Friday with a rare loss, you can almost guarantee that it only sets up a third-round state playoff game between these two impressive programs.
While head coach Daryle Heidelburg and his 7-0 Vikings could have folded up after the three-score deficit, but like the previous week against Miami Booker T. Washington, they found a way, and that way came via sophomore kicker Noah Sidan, who had problems converting extra points all night, booted the game winner.
Keep in mind, the Rockets have lost three games this season by a total of 10 points to the national No. 1 team Bishop Gorman, the No. 4 rated Chaminade-Madonna Lions and a Norland team that has been impressive. Between the three programs they are 20-0, so DO NOT COUNT OUT head coach Jube Joseph and his football team.
WAIT, THERE IS MORE
In addition to that thrilling game, there were other matchups that produced district championship performances – such as Coconut Creek’s 42-28 win over West Boca Raton, Davie Western wrapping up their district with a 56-0 win against Weston Cypress Bay, Hialeah bringing home a district crown with a 25-7 victory against North Miami, Homestead’s revenge win against Miami Southridge, 45-14.
Miami Booker T. Washington, who can win the district title tonight when they play Edison, moved one step closer, handing Miami Northwestern a 28-20 loss.
In a battle of unbeatens, Fort Lauderdale NSU University School took care of Fort Lauderdale Westminster Academy, 42-7.

It’s been a long time since Miami Norland has beaten Miami Central on the football field, and some believe if the No. 4 Vikings don’t come out on top of the No. 2 Rockets this evening (7:30) at Traz Powell Stadium, that dominating streak will continue – into the future.
Forget about this being possibly the first of two meetings between the district foes, the talking that has gone on since this contest was scheduled way back in the spring has reached a fever pitch, and tonight it all goes down.
On their “Drive For Five” straight state titles, head coach Jube Joseph and his football team approach this as just another game in protecting what has been theirs for a long time.
Central is once again stacked with talent – losing to only national powers Las Vegas Bishop Gorman and Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna by slim margins.
The Vikings and veteran head coach Daryle Heidelberg have been building for this season by bringing in as many as 20 new faces, mostly seniors, to overtake one of the country’s best, but after last week’s close call to Miami Booker T. Washington, the task this evening may be tougher than first expected.
The Rockets are motivated by national ranking and a chance to once again dominate Florida’s 2M competition. They love to prove the doubters wrong!
The talk is over, and the district title is definitely on the line. Are the Vikings actually pretenders or are they really here to contend? The answer will arrive after 10 p.m.

At a time when much of the focus in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties falls on the larger schools, who are looking for a playoff spot, very little attention has been paid on the smaller schools.
With some quality programs who continue to hide under the radar, football fans seem to miss out on those schools who work just as hard and get little or no recognition.
Tonight (7:00) at AutoNation Field in Davie, two smaller programs come in for on of the best matchups in the two counties.
Head Coach Ehren Wallhoff and his 6-0 Lions of Fort Lauderdale Westminster Academy head south to clash with head coach Mike Norman and his 6-0 Sharks.

The great thing about district football play in south Florida is that so many titles come down to two teams.
When the North Miami Pioneers and the Hialeah Thoroughbreds kick things off this evening (7:00), District 15-3M will be decided at Milander Stadium.
While North Miami comes into tonight’s contest at 2-5, and Hialeah walks down the road with an impressive 5-1 record, the only thing that truly matters is both teams are 2-0 in the district.
The Pioneers are the defending district champion and have traveled a much tougher round to reach this game – with quality opponents up and down the schedule with head coach Gerald Cox.
Coach Tony Smith has gotten Hialeah back on track with some huge wins this season – and come into tonight’s home game as the favorite.
NORTH MIAMI (2-5)
Miami Gulliver Prep, L 17-6
Lakeland Lake Gibson, L 29-26 (3OT)
Miami Edison, L 21-19
Hialeah Gardens Mater Academy, W 31-9
