Throughout the next few weeks and into the season, we spotlight prospects throughout Miami-Dade and Broward Counties – giving the football fans a chance to know the teams in the two counties.
Today we are back in Miami-Dade to check in on power Miami Central.
When the Rockets missed out on getting to the state title game last season – after four consecutive state titles under – “95th Street” didn’t have that same feeling.
An 8-4 record which had two losses to eventual 2M state runner up Miami Norland, No. 1 nationally rated Las Vegas Bishop Gorman and No. 2 nationally rated Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna stood in the way of this team getting back to win a fifth straight title.
Things could have gone much differently as this program lost all four of those games by a total of 13 points!
As they open this Friday against Ocala Vanguard in a kickoff classic last year is behind them and several new faces look at a year that could send this team back to the state championship game.

Throughout the next few weeks and into the season, we spotlight prospects throughout Miami-Dade and Broward Counties – giving the football fans a chance to know the teams in the two counties.
Today we are back in Miami-Dade County and tradition-rich Miami Carol City.
As first-year head coach George Stubbs Sr. takes over the reins of this storied program, the objective – from Day 1 – was to return this team to where it had been for so many years.
Since then, this program has posted a 16-30 record, which is not only unheard of, but not acceptable to a fan base that has been supportive of the Chiefs.
Since the late Aubrey Hill left this team with a state title in 2016-2017, this program has had Benedick Hyppolite, Josh Taylor, Dorrean James and last year, Vernon Wilder III as head coaches.
With a solid off-season and the addition of some impressive talent, this is certainly a team you will want to keep an eye on – and not take for granted.
