THE CHIEFS FILE

Head Coach: Matt Dubuc

2021 Record: 11-2 (4A State Champions)

THE SCOOP

Moments after the thrilling 21-19 win against Cocoa for the 4A state title – second straight – head coach Matt Dubuc and his staff were looking toward 2022.

With several key prospects returning – along with some new faces – the season ahead would keep this train rolling.

The success of this program has not come overnight. But now that they have arrived as a state power, you can expect that this team will be in the mix every year.

Despite losses to St. Thomas Aquinas and Plantation American Heritage, the Chiefs were the only team to beat 8A state champion Venice as well as come out on top against quality playoff teams Gainesville Buchholz, Gulliver Prep and St. Petersburg Lakewood.

North Miami High School

THE PIONEERS FILE

Head Coach: Gerald Cox

2021 Record: 4-5

THE SCOOP

Check back over the past decade and you will see that this is a program that attracts the top talent and develops them for the first two years – only to lose them to other programs.

Enter head coach Gerald Cox, who comes from Miami Booker T. Washington, Coconut Creek and is totally familiar with south Florida and how everything works.

If the Pioneers are to be successful and hold on to these future stars they will have to give their student/athletes something special, and as the 2022 season will unfold with spring football, there is a sense around this campus that things are in place to win games and keep these stellar athletes who come from the City of North Miami and are groomed by Pioneer coaches.

Winning cures all and the grass, while it seems greener on the other side, is often not.

Here are some of the prospects, heading into spring:

CLASS OF 2023

Lorenzo Baptist (WR/CB, 5-11, 175 – 3.27 GPA)

 Homestead High School

THE BRONCOS FILE

Head Coach: Philip Simpson

2021 Record: 11-2

THE SCOOP

During their 10-game winning streak last season, this program truly came together like many never predicted.

Losing to 8A Miami Palmetto to open the season, 21-19, only got this team more focused as they reeled off wins against rival South Dade (42-14), Miami9 Jackson (41-6), Hialeah Gardens Mater Academy (41-0), Miami Southridge (35-16), Hialeah (39-0), Miami Booker T. Washington (27-20) and Doral Academy (47-6) for the district title.

Playoff wins against South Dade (55-24), Hollywood South Broward (55-3) and Fort Lauderdale Dillard (28-14) gave this program plenty of confidence, heading into the third-round playoff game at national powerhouse Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas.

While they were beaten soundly (56-7) by the Raiders, it was a learning experience and served as motivation, going into the off-season.

 THE JAGUARS FILE

Head Coach: Cameron Thomas

2021 Record: 6-3

THE SCOOP

With a playoff appearance in 2021, this is a program that has arrived.

If you have followed this team through the years, you know the one thing that has always lacked is consistency – and that was not the case last year.

With wins over Coral Springs, Taravella, West Broward, Flanagan, Cypress Bay and Coral Springs Charter, the Jaguars did something positive, and the prospects responded.

As the spring is officially getting started at the end of next week, keep your eye on this program – as rising seniors will combine with optimistic and gifted underclassmen.
