Okay, you are a high school football fan and it’s the first Friday of the season. Where are you going today?
The long-awaited Polk County-Miami-Dade contest will take center stage as perhaps the No. 1 game in the state of Florida.

A lot of talking and bragging on the internet will end when two-time defending state champion Lakeland heads to Traz Powell Stadium to play Miami Central – winners of four of the past five state titles.

Just up the road in Plantation you have the second day of the Broward County National Football showcase where defending Georgia state champion Milton – with University of Miami QB commitment Luke Nickel will play an American Heritage team that is ready to erase the nightmare end to the 2023 season with Class of 2026 University of Texas QB commit Dia Bell.

If those choices aren’t enough – for the third year Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons will host a Broward Showcase contest – inviting 2026 QB prospect Noah Grubbs and Lake Mary, Fl. in for another outstanding contest.
Where are you headed?

Twelve teams, six Most Valuable Players, had the chance to share the spotlight at the first ever Miami Super Showdown Classic at Traz Powell Stadium last Friday and Saturday.

From Miramar (Miami Edison) to Miami Central (Ocala Vanguard), Homestead (West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman), Seffner Armwood (Miami Norland), Miami Carol City (Miami Jackson) and Miami Northwestern (Miami Palmetto, there was plenty of talent all over the field as local and national media of all types had the chance to see some emerging prospects as the last games were played before this coming week – the start of the 2024 season.

With so much attention for “exhibition” games, the teams and athletes were the big winners – with some new faces getting much of the attention.

Here is a look at the six most valuable players for each game:

2026 – Duane Johnson, LB, 6-2, 190, Homestead. Before his outstanding performance in the kickoff classic game against West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman, very few people had ever heard much about this impressive talent. The former Miami Killian prospect began to showcase his amazing skills during the spring, and by the time he left the field last Saturday, many understood why he is among the best prospects in Florida for the junior class.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/18235670/Duane-Johnson

2025 - Bekkem Kritza, QB, 6-5, 198, Miami Central. This Penn State commitment returns to south Florida and has immediately shown why his Rockets will be one of the best teams in the country this season. Started off his junior season at Central before transferring back to Boulder (Colo.) Fairview. He ended up completing 129 of 197 passes (65.5%) for 1,747 yards with 20 TD and 3 INT. Also ran for 2 scores.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/16078708/Bekkem-Kritza

2027 – Nicholas Lennear, WR, 5-9, 165, Miami Northwestern. Even before he stepped foot in high school, here was someone who was talked about as being one of the best youth football prospects to come out of south Florida in years. Last season as a freshman, he did some impressive things for the Bulls. But last Saturday evening, the speedster showed exactly why this team will be dangerous this coming season – as he scored twice – once on a kick return and gave fans and the media a look at one of the best sophomores in the country.

2025 – Girard Pringle Jr., RB, 5-10, 182, Seffner Armwood. Ever since this quality football player committed to attend the University of Miami, fans have asked about how good he was and what he will bring to Coral Gables. Last Saturday afternoon – while his team was putting to last year’s state runner up Miami Norland Vikings, media, fan websites and this watching found out the answer to that question. His speed, vision and ability to run the ball was indeed something that the Hawks used.  Had a breakout junior campaign as his team went on to post a 10-2 record and advanced to the state playoffs. Carried the ball 237 times for 1,732 yards and 24 TD.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/16136226/Girard-Pringle

2026 – Jayvin Smart, QB, 5-11, 185. After watching his team fall behind by over two scores in the fourth quarter against Miami Edison, he came up with play after play and brought the Patriots back and ended up winning in overtime. Taking over the starting position this season for a program that advanced three rounds deep in the state playoffs for the past two years. Will be counted on this season to keep this team at a high level.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/18447778/Jayvin-Smart

2025 – Santiago Villaman, WR, 6-2, 180, Miami Carol City. Like so many prospects that the Chiefs have on this roster, this is certainly someone who has a chance to be very special for a program that is on the way back. His impressive performance on Saturday evening thrusted himself into a spotlight and gave those who had not watched him play an idea of what he will bring to this program in 2024.

When it comes to watching, evaluating and seeing prospects and teams throughout the course of a year, there are very few sources who put in the time to come up with accurate information like we do.

Player and team rankings are often subjective, and everyone has their opinion – which is fine – but it’s usually those who see very little that have the loudest voice on who should be higher or lower.

If you follow what we do over the course of a season, each week we adjust the rankings, and while many focus on pre-season and each week during the season, the only ranking that truly counts is the one that comes out in late December.

Our Pre-Season Top 20 is based on several things – and with so many transfers taking place – our opinion varies and changes. This is only a starting point and will change several times.

This is in no way a definitive ranking. Just an opinion based on seeing teams throughout the state and having a valid ground to compare.

Here is a look at 20 Miami-Dade Broward Pre-Season teams:

1 Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas (14-1, 5A). THIS WEEK: 8/24 – Las Vegas Bishop Gorman. NEXT GAME: 8/30 – Lauderdale Lakes Boyd Anderson.
