Moments after his team dropped the 3A state title game in Tallahassee, 25-22, to Jacksonville Trinity Christian, Chaminade-Madonna head football coach Dameon Jones started to go over what needed to be done to get this program back on track.
After winning three consecutive 3A state titles, the loss to Trinity Christian was the second in the Lions’ fifth consecutive trip to the title game.
With 5 (2013, 2014, 2016, 2017 & 2020) state championships in the trophy case in Plantation, you already know what the objective is for head coach Pat Surtain and his American Heritage Patriots.
Coming off an 11-2 season that produced yet another 5A state title, this program has been able to assemble plenty of talent and elite coaching.
When the new state football classifications came out earlier this week, the results were met with mixed reactions.
At Dr. Krop High, head coach Tom Caporale and his Lightning were thrilled with the opportunity to get back and have a chance to compete for a district title and become eligible for a state playoff.
By now, everyone knows about the tragedy that hit the Dillard family a year ago.
The passing of head coach Eddie Frazier last spring was something that not only hit the Dillard community hard, but to high school football coaches, fans and players all over the country, his passing was something that was close to home for so many.
Finish 5-3 with two straight wins to end the season, and you have to feel pretty good, heading into the 2021 season.
As head coach Joe Burmeister looks at this coming season, he has to be extremely optimistic about what lies ahead for a talented group of football players.
