By now, you already know the drill when it comes to this season.
We told you before the year began that this was going to be 11 weeks that you will remember for a long time.
Great matchups every week have all lived up to the hype in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, and as we head toward Week 7:
No. 1 Miami Central (5-0) vs. No. 11 Miami Northwestern (3-2), Traz Powell Stadium, 7:30. The annual war has always been one of those games that it makes no difference which program has the best record. Neighborhood rivalry pitting two of the best inner-city public-school programs in the nation every year. Big time talent on both sides of the field. Can the Bulls knock the No. 1 team in Florida off? The Rockets have their eye on a national title, believing that NOBODY in the country can beat them. The “Mecca” will be rocking.
No. 3 Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas (6-0) vs. No. 12 Fort Lauderdale Dillard (2-2), 7:00. Last year it came down to a missed field goal by the Panthers, and since that time both schools have been pointing toward this key district game. While the Raiders have rolled this season – at home and away – Dillard is a .500 team, but those two losses came to No. 1 Miami Central and No. 2 Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna. Could this be the year where the Panthers put it all together? It would still be a huge upset!
No. 4 Miami Christopher Columbus (6-0) vs. No. 6 Homestead (6-0), 7:30. This is a game that at the start of the season was just another solid matchup between two very good football programs, but as kickoff gets closer, it’s shaping up to be a tremendous contest with two teams who believe that they can compete against anyone. The Explorers are the top 4M schools in the state – while the Broncos are among the best in 3M. Harris Field will be rocking.
No. 8 Davie Western (4-1) vs. No. 5 Plantation American Heritage (5-1), 7:30. You cannot say that the Patriots haven’t played one of the top schedules around, including a huge win against two-time defending state champion Cardinal Gibbons. They are talented and well coached. But the Wildcats feel that they have something to prove after losing big to St. Thomas Aquinas. They can change plenty of perception with a win tonight.
No. 16 Coconut Creek Monarch (5-1) at Hollywood McArthur (3-2), 7:00. This is one of those games that may not look promising on the surface, but both teams are playing very well and will finally get some of the spotlight. The Knights are coming off a dominating performance against Boca Raton Olympic Heights and are loaded on both sides of the ball. The Mustangs are also coming off an impressive game and are at home for a contest that may be competitive!

Last season, Miami Norland finished 5-5 and Miami Booker T. Washington ended the year 5-7, including 1-1 in the state playoffs.
When the season ended, both programs were frustrated, knowing that the year could have gone much differently. Both schools committed to getting better.
While the Vikings looked to veteran head coach Daryle Heidelberg to help them get back on track – the Tornadoes reached into their storied past, once again welcoming back Tim “Ice” Harris.
From the time spring started right until the first game of the 2022 season, you could see a change in both programs. New players and coaches on both sides of the ball certainly helped both programs turn things around.
As they head into tonight’s (7:30) showdown at Traz Powell Stadium, everything has indeed changed. Undefeated in four games, Norland comes in with a load of confidence and plenty of talent on both sides of the ball.
For BTW, the No. 10th rated team in south Florida, a 5-1 record and momentum is on their side for this much-anticipated showdown.
From average programs that many paid little attention to a pair of teams that has everyone’s attention, Week 7 gets going in style!

As we head toward Week 7 in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, you are starting to see the better teams move toward the top.

While we continue to give you as many prospects as possible each and every week via our social media, we devote one day during the regular season to spotlight five football players who are making an impact.
For decades, proving exposure for the student/athletes in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties is what we have become known for, and during nearly six decades, we are fortunate to still provide that promotion at no charge.
College coaches have told us throughout the years how valuable or information is to them in this huge recruiting process. Our ability to watch more football players live than any other source is truly something that has garnered a following of over 100,000 social media users on all of pour platforms.
When we rank players, it comes from actually traveling the entire state, giving us a huge advantage of comparing football talent firsthand and not having to rely on tape or listening to what others have to say.
While people continue to call us “old school”,. There is simply nothing that would warrant that statement, other than getting out and seeing football games, practices, camps, combines and 7-on-7 competition with our own eyes.
Once again today, we bring you five more football players that we have watched up close:
2023 - Jordan Faison, QB/Athlete, 5-10, 170, Fort Lauderdale Pine Crest. When you think about versatile football talent, here is someone who comes to mind quickly. This is the leader of a Panther team that has continued to impress, winning four of the first five games this season. His 940 yards and 14 touchdowns on offense, and his three interceptions on the defensive side of the ball only illustrates what this gifted young man brings to the table. In addition to what he does on the football field, his work in the classroom continues to open doors with a 4.3 GPA.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/12409068/Jordan-Faison
2023 – Kamari Frederick, DT, 6-0, 290, Pompano Beach Blanche Ely. Here is an impressive and dominating player that is perhaps one of the most overlooked and underpublicized student/athletes in south Florida. He controls everything up front with his quickness, strength and knowledge of the position. There are very few offensive linemen who can stop him – and that includes the top teams in the region. Has been one of the main reasons why the Tigers are unbeaten, heading into Week 7!
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/14687589/Kamari-Federick
2023 – Jason Gabriel, WR, 5-11, 180, North Miami. Having watched this young man at camps, combines and 7-on-7 events during the off-season, you could see how things translate to the playing field. During the regular season, we were fortunate to see this young man perform, and while the Pioneers are a work in progress, this gifted prospect is among the best in the state of Florida. In addition to what he brings to the table on the offensive side of the ball, his work as a defensive back also showcases the talent and versatility. He is also a standout track athlete.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/15981416/Jason-Gabriel
2024 – Jarvis Johnson, OLB, 6-1, 210, Miami Westminster Christian. On a team that is one of the big surprises this season, here is an underclassman who has already shown what he can do as one of the leading tacklers in the state. He has the ability to control the defensive side of the ball by making plays in the passing game, dropping into coverage as well as rushing the passer. Running on him is not easy at all. The fact that he has another year has the Warriors feeling pretty good.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/14592856/Jarvis-Johnson
2024 - Jonathan Morillo, QB, 6-1, 175, Pembroke Pines West Broward. From the spring here is a talented football player who showed signs of being an extremely impressive prospect, and it is all proving to be correct. His 1,022 yards and 8 touchdowns through the first half of 2022 has college coaches watching and teammates impressed. Good size, solid arm and the ability to make plays is why the attention is starting to fall in his direction.

When an article appeared last week that said Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna, Miami Central and Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas separated themselves from the rest of the teams in south Florida, Plantation American Heritage took exception to that statement.
While the Patriots had lost a thriller to Chaminade-Madonna, every player and coach felt that they belonged in that elite group that is south Florida.
On Saturday, first year head coach Mike Smith and his football team traveled to Fort Lauderdale to play Cardinal Gibbons, and by the end of the day, they dominated the key district contest, 21-2, moving to 5-1 and positioning themselves for a key seed when the playoffs begin in November.
Behind Ohio State commitments Brandon Inniss and Mark Fletcher Jr. on offense and senior linebacker David Vadala on defense, the Patriots took control in the second half and secured an afternoon game win.
For the two-time defending state champion Chiefs and head coach Matt Dubuc, it was their first loss of the season as they head back to finish the regular season and position themselves for a solid playoff spot.
In a week that saw some games shift around because of the threat that Hurricane Ian posed to the entire state of Florida, there will be a number of Monday games.
Here is a look at the games this past week involving Miami-Dade and Broward County teams.
