THE COLONELS FILE
Head Coach: Steve Davis
2021 Record: 9-3
THE SCOOP
While their season ended with a 57-14 setback at Miami Northwestern, the way that this program got to the third round of the state playoffs was indeed very impressive.
With an early season loss to Coconut Creek, even in the second week of the season, turned out to be the district title game, this team rallied and went on to make quite a splash.
After that loss to Coconut Creek, the Colonels won eight of nine games, losing only to Fort Lauderdale Dillard in a thrilling 41-40 game.
Along the way, this program came up with regular season wins against South Miami (44-7), Hollywood Hills (40-0), Sunrise Piper (42-19), Lauderdale Lakes Boyd Anderson (51-8), Miramar Everglades (61-0), Oakland Park Northeast (48-0) and rival South Plantation (61-0).
The opening round of the playoffs was perhaps the biggest win this program has had in over a decade, knocking off No. 1 seed unbeaten Fort Myers Dunbar (44-20) and getting back at Coconut Creek (42-7) before dropping the third-round contest in Miami.
As they look toward the 2022 season, this is a team that has the talent to compete once again – with key returnees and some newcomers.

THE COUGARS FILE
Head Coach: Bryce Bishop
2021 Record: 12-1
THE SCOOP
They had built a team in just one year that was easily among the best in the state of Florida.
Finishing the regular season 10-0, the Cougars took care of everyone on the schedule and earned a No. 1 seed in the state playoffs, beating Fort Myers Cypress Lake (60-0) and Fort Lauderdale Stranahan (37-0).
The lone defeat came in the third round of the state playoffs to powerhouse Miami Central – when the Rockets took them down, 39-13.
Fast forward to the off-season where head coach Derrick Gibson moved on to the next level as a coach at FAU – and enter another former Cougar, Bryce Bishop.
As this team gets set for the off-season, the objective is the same, the roster is a little different, but the optimism is the same as they prepare for camps, college visits and 7-on-7 tournaments.

THE TIGERS FILE
Head Coach: Mike Bailey
2021 Record: 1-9
THE SCOOP
If you have followed high school football for any length of time, you know very well that what has been happening to the Tigers over the past decade is NOT what Tiger football is all about.
Once a yearly powerhouse, this program has declined – in a major way – with several athletes who could have turned things around, opting to go elsewhere. Enter Mike Bailey.
When he took over last year, this quality coached vowed to right the once potent ship, and as he heads into his second season, you can already see results this off-season as attitudes have changed and the athletes in the program are making that commitment.
With several new faces and a belief that hard work will change just about anything, the Tigers have had a solid spring and are very much looking forward to a productive summer.
Here is a look at some of the quality prospects ready to make a lasting impression:
CLASS OF 2023
Omari Campbell (Athlete, 5-10, 175)
Nahcoy Daniels (QB/Athlete, 5-11, 150)

THE TORNADOES FILE
Head Coach: Johnathan Firth
2021 Record: 4-6
THE SCOOP
What this program has been able to do through the years is develop, teach and send student/athletes on to the next level. Nothing has changed.
As they continue to get it done this spring – with a game tonight at North Broward Prep – and through the summer – competing and winning football games have been part of what head coach Johnathan Firth and this team have been all about.
With college coaches visiting the campus this spring – and the team getting ready for the summer – getting to the .500 mark is certainly a mark that is realistic.
With wins over West Palm Beach Berean Christian (40-0), West Palm Beach Sports Leadership & Management (35-8), Boca Raton Spanish River (21-13) and Oakland Park Northeast (26-8), there is a sense that this team can make more improvement. Remember, they lost two games – one to Hollywood Hills (7-0) and the other to Marathon (10-9) where they had their chances.
With the summer on the horizon, here is a look at some of the prospects to keep an eye on:

THE SCOOP
It has gotten to the point in the town of Davie when the sport of football is mentioned, the Wildcats quickly enter the conversation.
District titles, state playoffs and enough talent to compete with just about anyone in the state of Florida.
Coming off a year in which they lost to 3A state champion Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna (30-13), 7A state champion Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas (31-21) and to Miami Christopher Columbus (27-8) in the second round of the state playoffs, here is a football program that entered the spring with plenty of optimism and a load of talent.
Leading the way is rising senior quarterback Collin Hurst, who three for 3,267 yards and 35 touchdowns a year ago – while moving closer to the all-time Broward County record.
Hurst, the 8A Offensive Player of the Year in Florida, also boasts a 4.2 GPA in the classroom.

In addition, rising seniors Monarch transfer Leonardo Layun (OLB, 6-1, 205 – 3.0 GPA), Reginald Joseph (DE, 6-4, 215 – 2.8 GPA), Joshua Joseph (S, 5-10, 175 – 2.9 GPA, 1080 SAT), receiver Ben Sherota (WR, 6-0, 175 – 4.2 SAT, 1130 SAT) and rising junior kicker/punter Kristian Hobbs (6-1, 195 – 3.8 GPA), who is already considered one of the best in the country.
