Braddock and Ferguson Round 2 Tonight

 As many south Florida teams get ready for Week 2 of the Florida High School Athletic Association state playoffs, two Miami-Dade County programs get ready to crown a champion.

In their second meeting of the season, Miami Braddock and Miami Ferguson will clash for the Greater Miami Athletic Association (GMAC) Independent title.

Back in Sept. 28, these two rivals met in a regular season matchup at Tropical Stadium that attracted over 2,500 fans – with Braddock coming away with an exciting 29-26 win.

That game was thrilling and went back and forth as Ferguson veteran head coach Gene Chew and Braddock’s J.T. Torres led their respective teams for one of the most memorable finishes in recent history.

Tonight (7:00), these two programs will once again meet with everything at stake and you can guarantee that the crowd will be large and the outcome will come down to the fourth quarter.

South Dade, Belen Jesuit gives the #305 a huge spark.

On two different nights, Miami-Dade County had two wins that many felt they would never have against a pair of higher seeds on the road in Broward County.

On Thursday, Belen Jesuit brought their 4-6 record and No. 7 seed to Hollywood to square off with a higher seed and district champion Bulldogs of South Broward in the 3M Region 4 quarterfinals.

The Wolverines, who finished third to Homestead and Miami Southridge played all four quarters as head coach Don Chaney Sr. used a 165-yard performance from Georgia Tech commit Khamani Alexander to bring home with an exciting 20-13 win.

They move on to play Miramar on Friday night in the semifinals.

On Friday night at Flanagan High in Pembroke Pines, first year head coach Chris Reid and his Buccaneers continued the magical season as they beat West Broward, 43-31, in the 4M Region 4 quarterfinals.

Led by seniors Edward Farley-Kendrick and Jerrell Jordan and a stingy defense, they will now move on to play top seed Christopher Columbus with plenty of momentum.

WESTMINSTER EDGED IN FINALE

When Fort Lauderdale Westminster Academy headed to Lakeland for last Saturday night’s Sunshine State Athletic Conference state title against Oviedo’s The Master’s Academy, the Lions felt confident.

Rebounding from their only regular season loss, head coach Ehren Wallhoff and his team had the momentum and were feeling good after a convincing win over Fort Lauderdale’s NSU University School.

Falling behind early, Westminster fell short and ended the season 9-2 with a 34-27 loss.

This team didn’t go down without a fight:

Senior QB Anthony Barbar was 21 of 35 for 381 yards and 2 passing touchdowns. He also rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown.

Junior WR D.J. Wimbley had 11 catches for 274 yards and 2 touchdowns with a long reception of 88 yards. He added 8 tackles, 1 TFL and 1 sack for a loss of 8 yards on defense.

Senior LB Evan Tempro had 9 tackles and 1 TFL. Evan also had 5 catches for 60 yards.

Despite terrible weather conditions, Senior K Mason DiBona was 3/3 on PATs and was 2/2 on FGs with kicks of 24 yards and 34 yards.

Congratulations to a great season and giving south Florida something to be proud about!

Road To Tallahassee Continues Today In South Florida

A year ago, Homestead South Dade’s football program finished 2-7, were outscored 261-201 and failed to make the state playoffs.

The Bucs, who routinely found themselves in the playoff mix each season, had sunk to the bottom – and that didn’t go over well with fans, players, and longtime supporters.

Enter Chris Reid. Someone who knew this program, the community and what it took to get back to where this proud program has been for decades.

From the very beginning, Reid made it clear that South Dade would once again have that football team that everyone could be proud of.

Tonight, the turnaround continues when the 7-3 Bucs travel to Broward County to play district champion West Broward at Flanagan High in Pembroke Pines.

The contest will not only spotlight Reid and his team, but also the Bobcats and head coach Brian McCartney, who have now established this team as one to watch each season.

After losing to Miami Palmetto in the first round of the state playoffs a year ago, this is a team that went right after it during the off-season.

Coach McCartney took this team to colleges and universities all over to give them competition and exposure. It has paid off. After losing the first two games of the season, they reeled off a 7-1 record, losing only to state-rated Daytona Beach Mainland on the road.

This Region 4-4M quarterfinal game will produce a winner that will move on next week to play No. 1 Miami Columbus (9-2) in the regional semifinal.
