Back at the beginning of February, when the camp and combine season began, there was one event that simply stole the show for student/athletes in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.
Now that event moves north to West Palm Beach on Sunday, March 26 at Keiser University, and the exposure and coverage that was very much present at the first combine will follow this event as well.
The South Florida Combine Series presented by Bleechr will be held from 12 noon to 4 p.m. at Keiser University (2600 North Military Trail, West Palm Beach, FL 33409).
Open to football prospects Classes 2023-2027, this event will not only get the younger prospects on the radar screen, but also assist the veteran players with additional exposure that so many are looking for.
“What this event is all about is to promote, teach and evaluate EVERY prospect that attends,” said former Miami Dolphin great receiver Chris Chambers. “We know exactly what it takes to provide exposure while teaching student/athletes and their parents some things that will go a long way in this competitive recruiting process.”
Along with Chambers, Lazaro Suarez (bleechr.com) and Larry Blustein (larryblustein.com), all facets of this event will be covered by people who know every part of recruiting – providing well over a half century of experience and valuable knowledge.
All athletes who attend will receive a compression shirt, professional head shot and action photos. In addition, the top five athletes in each position will be invited to the Bleechr College Recruiting Showcase at the end of the series in Miami.
Participants will receive exclusive action photos as well as videos of their performance, professional video interviews, a Bleechr college recruiting profile upgrade plus personal college recruitment assistance.
“With Chris and Larry, you have two of the most respected, recognized and trusted professionals in this competitive and often tricky world of recruiting,” Suarez said. “When we tell you that EVERYONE who attends will be promoted, we mean exactly that. We have so many avenues to get the word out – and for such a low price, it has to be a MUST on your off-season schedule.”

KISSIMMEE – As we head into the final day of the 2023 Florida High School Wrestling Championships at the Silver Spurs Arena, South Dade has simply left no doubt who the best team in Florida is.
The Bucs have an overwhelming 95 point lead on second place Southwest Miami and will send six wrestlers into the 4 p.m. finals.
Head Coach Vic Balmeceda and his team continued an over two decade dominance in the sport and have accomplished everything possible.
With only Brandon and its total five decade dominance of the sport ahead of South Dade’s legacy, this team has combined veterans and youth to put another stamp on this amazing program.
1A IS STILL A RACE
While the Bucs have relaxed since the first round, Class 1A has been a dogfight with three schools still very much in the race for a state title.
Head Coach Joe Blasucci and Pembroke Pines Somerset, who won two years ago, lead with 148 points, but last year’s state champions Jensen Beach (136) and upstart Naples First Baptist (123.5) still pose a threat.
Somerset has four in the finals – while Jensen Beach will feature three in the finals and First Baptist has five.
All Somerset has to do is win and everything will take care of itself.
2A is also an exciting two team race with defending state champion Lake Gibson and Punta Gorda Charlotte within striking distance with wrestlers still remaining.
GIRLS FEATURE A NUMBER OF LOCALS
As much of the attention was on what is going on with the boys, the girls also had a solid tournament as North Miami and South Dade had an outstanding showing.
The Pioneers have two in the finals – including unbeaten defending state champion Mya Bethel – while I-Cart Galumette (110 pounds - North Miami), Analy Banuelos 115 pounds – Miami Braddock), unbeaten Gabriela Caro (125 pounds – Parkland Douglas), Sofia Delgado (140 pounds – Miami Coral Park) and Yoseline Perez (235 pounds - South Dade) all making the finals as well.

KISSIMMEE - Before Thursday’s first round of the state wrestling championships at the Silver Spurs Arena, many joked that powerhouse South Dade would wrap up their 24th crown after the first day.
All jokes aside, head coach Vic Balmeceda and his Bucs may have done just that as they qualified all 14 wrestlers to the second day on Friday and made a strong statement toward an 11th straight 3A state title.
Sparked by unbeaten two-time state champion All-American 220-pound junior Sawyer Bartelt’s 46th straight win in the opening round, this team roared out to a 26-point lead over rival Southwest Miami at the second round starts at 9:15 on Friday.
The Bucs were indeed relentless, getting first round wins by Bryan Morales (55-13 – 106), Luis Acevedo (51-3 – 120), Nathaniel Williams (50-11, 126), Tyree Graham (47-12, 132), Elvis Solis (45-1, 138), Misha Arbos (44-8, 145), Gavin Balmeceda (57-5, 152), Cordell White (30-1, 160), Lawrence Rosario (54-9, 170), Chris Sanchez (43-9, 182), Ansel Cervantes (42-0, 195), Bartelt and heavyweight Marcelo Rosario (43-9) all had opening wins, fueling this team on the first day.
While South Dade raced out in 3A, they weren’t alone. Rival Southwest Miami and Weston Cypress Bay were among the top four.
THE RACE IN 1A IS REAL
They had knocked heads in the district tournament two weeks ago and last week in the regional tournament last week, and on Day 1 of the 1A state tournament, Pembroke Pines Somerset and Miami Mater Lakes were back at it again.
Head Coach Joe Blasucci and his Somerset team had a productive first day with 38 points just ahead of Mater Lakes (34.5), Jensen Beach (31.5), Naples First Baptist (28) and Cardinal Gibbons (27.5).
