2021 Record: 7-3

THE SCOOP

When Rocco Casullo arrived on campus nearly two years ago, his objective was simple. Build this program up from the bottom.

Using plenty of young prospects, it was a given that of the Lightning was to flourish and return to where Mark Guandolo had them, the younger prospects would be needed.

With his many years of coaching and teaching the sport, and being around it all his life, Casullo understood that with the right mix of leadership and talent, this could be a program that would make some noise in the years to come.

As the 2022 season unfolds, there are number of football players who are on the roster, giving this program depth, but there is a group of rising juniors and seniors who have grown up the past two seasons, and they are indeed what this team will need to turn that corner.

Just missing out on the playoffs in 2021, the objective this coming season is to get in a position where the mix of youth and veterans will add up to something very positive.

Doral Academy

Head Coach: Eddie Delgado

2021 Record: 8-2

THE SCOOP

Winning the first six games of the season in 2021, there was plenty of optimism around this campus – as winning football had returned to the City of Doral.

Even the “district title” game loss to Homestead helped this team focus on the future – with plenty of young talent.

As we head toward 2022, once again there is a feeling that this is a team more than capable of making a legitimate run at the state playoffs – like last season, losing to Miramar in the 7A state playoffs.

Even though the landscape has changed with several teams moving into different districts, there is enough talent on both sides of the ball – and in the special teams to turn plenty of heads.
