THE RAIDERS FILE

Head Coach: Earl Sims

2021 Record: 11-2

THE SCOOP

They had built it for a strong run in 2021 – with talent on both sides of the ball and thought by many who follow high school football as the best 4A team in Florida.

With everything going in their favor, the Raiders jumped out to big lead against the defending state champion Chiefs of Cardinal Gibbons, only to see the dream fall apart, losing a thrilling, but very disappointing 36-33 decision to the eventual state champions.

The season was set up with wins – including victories against Bradenton Manatee (20-7), Miami Killian (37-10), Miami Monsignor Pace (51-7), Miami Gardens Tru Prep (39-38), North Palm Beach Benjamin (49-14), Miami Dade Christian (43-0), defending 2A state champion Hialeah Champagnat Catholic (52-27), West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman (49-13) and Orlando Bishop Moore (38-7), and a first-round state playoff win against Miami Booker T. Washington (43-0).

For the second straight year, the Raiders would lose to Cardinal Gibbons, dashing any hope of bringing home a state title.

With many of those experienced faces moving on, this team had an outstanding spring – which included a win over Key West, setting the tone for the summer.

THE SCOOP

It’s no secret that this program has not been where it has in the past for quite some time – and while the talent has been available – things were not falling in place.

At a program that has produced its share of talent and outstanding teams through the years, some new blood was brought in to get this ball rolling once again.

With several prospects on the roster, teaching and getting these players to compete at a higher level was the objective in the spring and will be that way moving into the summer.

THE EAGLES FILE

Head Coach: Kirk Hoza

2021 Record: 4-6

THE SCOOP

After putting together a number of winning seasons, things fell off last year for this quality program.

What 2021 seemed to be about was streak and not consistent play, resulting in a rare losing record.

Despite making the playoffs, losing in the opening round to Miami Booker T. Washington, it was truly an up and down season for veteran head coach Kirk Hoza and his Eagles.

While there were losses to Fort Pierce John Carroll, Clewiston, 4A power Cardinal Gibbons, North Palm Beach Benjamin and Clearwater Central Catholic, there were some bright spots.

Wins against Fort Lauderdale Pine Crest (35-0), Coral Springs Taravella (55-0), Coral Springs (42-6) and West Palm Beach The King’s Academy (42-27) certainly gave this program promise.

As the spring produced some quality performances, this team heads into the summer with standout players and renewed enthusiasm.

Here is a look at some of the prospects to keep an eye on in Classes 2023 and 2024:
