When it comes to their student/athletes and teams, the Broward County Athletic Association is way ahead of any other area in the nation.
From banquets to all-star games and educational awards, when you belong to the BCAA they look out after their own and let colleges and universities across the country know about them.
ANOTHER FOOTBALL SEASON KICKOFF
With St. Thomas Aquinas, Cardinal Gibbons, Miramar, Western, Monarch, first year member school Chaminade-Madonna and next year’s entrant Plantation American Heritage all taking part in the second annual Broward County National Football Showcase in the final week of August, the focus is already shining brightly – with nationally-televised games and opponents flocking to the #954.
With that type of splash, it’s only right to not only shine the spotlight on those teams but everyone in the BCAA and that will happen on Wednesday, August 2, when the annual Football Media Day will be held at the Pompano Beach Administrative Center (610 Northeast 13th Avenue) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Spotlighting players, teams, and coaches, this will be a first-class event that will give each team an opportunity for media exposure from throughout south Florida.
With BCAA and School Board officials on hand, questions will be asked, photos will be taken, and video interviews will take place.
Over 400,000 social media followers will have the chance to hear from these student/athletes and their coaches as one of the most talented area in the country will roll out their best.
In addition to the Broward Showcase teams who will be on hand, the media gathering will also have Pompano Beach Blanche Ely, Lauderdale Lake Boyd Anderson, Coconut Creek, Cooper City, Coral Springs Coral Glades, Coral Springs, Coral Springs Charter, Cypress Bay, Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale Dillard, and Parkland Douglas.
In addition, Miramar Everglades, Pembroke Pines Flanagan, Fort Lauderdale, Hallandale, Hollywood Hills, Hollywood McArthur, Oakland Park Northeast, Davie Nova, Pembroke Pines Charter, Sunrise Piper, Plantation, Pompano Beach, Hollywood South Broward, South Plantation, Fort Lauderdale Stranahan, Coral Springs Taravella and Pembroke Pines West Broward will be on hand for the event.
The BCAA will be represented by Patty Brown (Director, Athletics & Student Activities), Rocky Gillis (Athletic Director), Jennifer Hamilton (Student Athletics Liaison Middle School Athletic Association), Cameron Hudge and David Brousseau.
In additon McFatter Technical College and Becon TV are going to take part with interviews and capturing the day.

While we are finding out how important kickers, punters and special teams performers are at every level of football, there has been a push to put these prospects in a brighter spotlight.
Special teams players are now getting the opportunity to show what they have to offer and events across the country. College coaches, who rarely paid attention in the past are all ears now – seeing what a solid kicker, punter and long snapper can do to change the outcome of games.
Last week, the South Florida Showcase and 4thDownU.com came to St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens for an event that once again put these young men in the spotlight.
With coaches such as former Miami High standout Oscar Castaneda (OKC Kicking and St. Thomas University), Ben Fentress (Fentress Kicking), Jose Carballo, Jeff Garner, Simon Mathieson and event organizer Dan Lundy from 4th Down University running the event, it was certainly a day to make a statement.
“Comin to south Florida is always a priority of us,” Lundy said. “There are so many talented young men in the area and all are anxious to compete. Having some amazing instructors is also a bonus.”
In addition, there were some other recognizable coaches on hand as well – including former University of Miami and FIU Lou Groza Award winner Jose Borregales and current University of Miami kicker Andres Borregales who came out as perfect examples of what hard work and competing can do.
Also, Dominic Barr, Robert Hammond lll and Ale Prado came out.
AMAZING TALENT ADDED TO THE COMPETITION
From the Class of 2023 all the way to prospects on the way to promising careers, the event brought out some impressive talent.
Here is a look at who came to compete:
2023
Jeffrey Hernandez, Kicker, St. Thomas University

Believe it or not, even with all the off-season activities that athletes have attended, there are still several seniors who have not received exposure.
While spring football, summer camps, combines and 7-on-7 events have opened the way for many Miami-Dade and Broward football prospects to get some of the spotlight, we head toward the 2023 season with many still searching for that break.
As you know if you follow what we do, getting prospects out there for colleges to check out is our main priority. While we are always concerned with the high-level players, they are NOT the ones who need the help – whether those fan websites believe it or not.
Today we bring you five Class of 2024 rising seniors to keep an eye on:
Rashard Carter, DB, 5-9, 162, Miami Norland. This is a quality talent who has come a long way, and when you watch him play, you are sold by what he brings to the table as someone who has great anticipation on passing down, but physical enough to stop the run. In addition, his 4.4 grade point average in the classroom will continue to open doors. Keep your eye on this young man.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18378275/63841fc732e74d07ecc73cd6
Jeremy Fishkin, OL, 6-5, 305, Parkland Douglas. Talk about a prospect who has blown up over the past few months, this impressive talent has shown that he has the size, skill, and knowledge of the position. He is one of many offensive linemen who has come through this program, and as he gets more exposure his stock will continue to rise. Has a solid spring game, going against a pair of defensive linemen who have already received a number of offers. Like many of the talented young men we have been fortunate to spotlight, Jeremy also gets it done in the classroom, boasting a 3.6 grade point average. College coaches need to keep their eye on his progress this season.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17619287/Jeremy-Fishkin
Curtis Janvier, DB, 6-0, 175, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna. From the time he began playing, everyone was sold on this playmaker. He has been a key part of the Lions’ success over the past two seasons, and heads into 2023 ready to continue elevating his game. In 11 games last season, he finished with 20 solo tackles, 14 assists, three interceptions and six pass breakups. On a team that is expected to do some big things again this coming season, this is certainly someone to watch.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/14988446/Curtis-Janiver
Tristan Pineda, WR, 6-2, 180, Miami Christopher Columbus. 4.57 GPA. Trying to follow in the footsteps of his twin brother Cameron, who recently received his first D1 offer, this young man brings so much to the game as a student/athlete. A part of the 4A state champions, here is a receiver who has size, quickness, skill, and amazing grades (4.57 grade point average). All he needs is a chance to showcase his skills and colleges will see exactly why he is one of those talented young men who have flown under the radar. He is a big target that has the chance to really step up in 2023 for the Explorers.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/15877652/Tristan-Pineda
Jarrod Young, LB/RB/LS, 6-0, 200, Miami Gardens Monsignor Edward Pace. 2.9 GPA. One of the truly versatile performers in the class, here is the perfect example of doing as many things as you can to get noticed. As a running back he has the vision and instinct to get through holes and has the speed to turn a short run into a long gain. Has also shown that he can catch the ball out of the backfield, giving the Spartans another weapon. As a linebacker he is indeed a performer who will be an asset to the team with his athleticism. College coaches need to keep an eye on this talent, who also keeps his grade up (2.9 GPA) and is ready to go.

CORAL SPRINGS - It made too much sense that this past Saturday’s 11th Annual Coach Mac National High School 7-on-7 football tournament would come down to two schools less than five miles from Mullins Park.
When Coconut Creek beat rival Coconut Creek Monarch in the finals of the yearly event, it meant bragging rights for a Cougar team that has taken a backseat to the 4M Knights with news in the off-season.
With Monarch adding a number of players – coupled with the fact that several of their prospects are getting local, regional, state and national attention, Coconut Creek felt it had something to prove, and from start to finish, this team showcased some impressive talent as they look to make a dent in a competitive Class 3M.
On Saturday, this program had the chance to showcase some impressive talent – some that have been on the radar screen – while others were being introduced for the first time.
The schedule will be challenging with a trip to Gainesville, Georgia as well as home games against Plantation, Deerfield Beach and national powerhouse Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna.
WHO MADE AN IMPACT ON SATURDAY
Among those players who stepped up were quarterbacks James Hayes and Javaris Jones, running back Jamarie Hostclaw as well as Jordan Thompson and Germaine Gordon.
Impressive senior Eirik Simmons III turned heads all day as a receiver. He was indeed someone that the Cougars will need this coming season.
Other receivers included Godson Sinelien, Semaj Wallace, Djovany Dominique and Isaiah Calixte.
Defensive backs Elijah Cannon, Hyjah Miller, Demaree Petit-Blanc and Raymond Jackson are special. So are Keyon Hostclaw and Keon Roy and Ja’Har Brown.
Keep an eye on linebackers Damaine Wilson and Kevonta Williams as well as Elijah Calixte.
MONARCH CAME READY TO PLAY
When football fanatics look at some of the top programs to watch in 4M this coming season, head coach Calvin Davis and the Monarch Knights are certainly a team to keep an eye on.
Even though they lost in the finals, they were well represented. Among those quality prospects included UMass quarterback commit A.J. Hairston, sophomore nationally regarded receiver Jabari Brady, one of the top junior receivers in the country Samari Reed, senior receiver Clayton Cannon II and senior cornerback Kevin Powell.
In addition, senior cornerback L.J. Muff and junior safety Jaleel Waters were also responsible for getting the team all the way to the finals.
In addition to Coconut Creek and Monarch, the event also attracted Miami-Dade schools Miami Jackson, Miami Sunset and Miami Dr. Krop.
Broward programs Fort Lauderdale Stranahan, Hollywood South Broward, Fort Lauderdale Dillard, Davie Nova, Parkland Douglas, Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons, Pompano Beach Blanche Ely, South Plantation, Coral Springs Taravella and Plantation also came to fill out a quality field.
