Through The years, the Broward County Athletic Association’s North-South All-Star Game has always been a close contest between some of the best football prospects in the county.

On Thursday night – before a packed house at Nova High School – the two teams once again battled to the end as the South prevailed 14-7.

With an impressive band, quality cheerleaders and fans pouring into Davie, this game did not disappoint, and college coaches and media outlets had an opportunity to see a well-played and competitive game as West Broward Head Coach Brian McCartney (South) and Coral Glades Head Coach Cam Thomas (North) made the practice days pay off.

With Cypress Bay quarterback Ryder Lewin winning the MVP of the game, Stranahan RB Sincere Rodriguez winning Offensive MVP and defensive lineman Justin Tedim winning the MVP for the South defense, the North also had some outstanding performers as well – with Blanche Ely QB Nah’coy Daniels and Fort Lauderdale DE Jaylin Jackson taking home MVP awards.

“This was one of the best all around games we have had,” said BCAA Director of Athletics & Student Activities Shawn Cerra. “Great game, outstanding job by our all-star band and cheerleaders and I am thoroughly impressed with the crowd that came out.”

Prospects searching for college attention had the opportunity to impress and get extra game film.

The winning South team had prospects such as Cypress Bay, who had Lewin and kicker Lucas Bisazza, who participated for both teams, TE Orlando Lima, WR Ormoni Marshall and OL Matt Prigmore; Flanagan WR Tony Anthony; McArthur OL Miguel Baez; Miramar RB Nathaniel Henry and DB Tre Rigby; Nova TE Nick Evans and OL Sam Saint-Fort; South Broward OL Danny Maitien Jr.; Stranahan running back Sincere Rodriguez; West Broward receiver Brandon Armenteros; and Tedim and offensive lineman Roger Reyes from Western.

The North also had plenty of standouts – with MVP Daniels from Blanche Ely and his teammate WR Marcus Williams; Boyd Anderson RB Jaylon Thomas; Cardinal Gibbons punter Christian Silverstein, who played on both sides; Coconut Creek OL Juan Carlos Arocho and Kevone Keana; Coral Glades DE Carlton Boggs Jr.; versatile Coral Springs standout Tyrique Gordon; Deerfield Beach DB Patrick Darelus; Dillard boasted OL Christopher Alexandre and Zxamyir Pellissier, and DB David Law-Mortimer, DB. In addition to Jackson, Fort Lauderdale had WR Patrick Boyd; Monarch standout WR Walter Parrish; Piper DE  Joseph Aquino; Pompano Beach WR  Lorezo Beggs; Parkland Douglas RB Clayton Cannon Jr. and LB Gabriel Lenamon,

COACHING PLAYED A HUGE PART IN THE GAME

South Broward head coach Charles McCrea Jr. and his assistant Matt Burke; South Plantation head coach Colby Erskin and his assistant Ron Jackson, and Nova head coach Kevin Huntley and his assistant Richard Miller Jr.

When Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna High’s football team kicks things off tonight (7:00) against Clearwater Central Catholic at Gene Cox Stadium in Tallahassee, the unbeaten Lions will be a part of history.

Only Belle Glade Glades Day have done what head coach Dameon Jones and his team will do tonight. The 1M title appearance marks the seventh consecutive time this program has reached the state finals. Seven!

While most teams look to make it to one of even two state title games to complete their careers, this school has been the most impressive dynasty in the past decade, winning four of the past five titles.

That seven-year stretch, including this year’s 12-0 mark features 2021 (12-1), 2020 (8-2), 2019 (12-2), 2018 (12-2), 2017 (11-2) and 2016 (10-4) adds up to an amazing 79-13 record, which is easily among the best in the state during that period.

This is certainly a team that has relied on its senior class for leadership, but all classes for talent and depth. Among those seniors who have an impact includes DaAndre Duffus (OL, 6-5, 314), Luke Evans (CB, 6-2, 170), Elvin Harris (OL, 6-6, 300), Nat Moore Trophy finalist Edwin Joseph (WR/DB, 6-1, 185), Jeno Junius (S, 5-11, 185), William Larkins (OL, 6-5, 305), Wayne Peart (DT, 6-4, 270), D’Angelo Ponds (DB, 5-10, 155) and receiver Duane Thomas Jr. (5-10, 175).

In addition, there are Jaden Alvaranga (DB, 5-10, 175), Jeremiah Avrilien (RB, 5-8, 170), Matthew Cook (OT, 6-7, 270), Jermaine Fleming (FS, 6-2, 182), Josh Jones (DB, 5-9, 185), Giovani Marks (OT, 5-11, 255), Xavier Richardson (LS/DT, 5-10, 255), Kwame Smith (CB, 5-8, 155) and defensive back Zachary Tanelus (6-1, 160) who have proven to be extremely valuable.

THIS TRAIN IS FAR FROM DONE

As gifted as the senior class is, the underclassmen are among the best in the country – starting with Class of 2024 standouts such as Andrew Abu-Akel (PK, 5-10, 170), Cedrick Bailey (QB, 6-6, 195), Jackson Campbell (OC, 6-1, 270), standout running back Davion Gause (5-11, 203), Curtis Janvier (CB, 6-1, 175), amazing linebacker Denzel Johnson (6-0, 205), nationally rated safety Zaquan Patterson (6-1, 185), Kaleb Stewart (OLB, 6-1, 205), Bryce Stringer (DE, 6-2, 205), and two of the country’s elite receivers in Jeremiah Smith (6-3, 195) and Joshisa Trader (6-1, 170).

The junior class also includes David Brankovic (LB, 5-11, 185), Zach Crothers (DE, 6-4, 235), Sean Patrick Dulcio (DB, 5-11, 180), Kendarius Frazier (DE, 6-1, 240), Johnoy Johnston (WR, 6-2, 188), Brendan Leal (LB, 5-11, 210), Tyson Waters (WR, 5-8, 150), Rashaun Watson (DT, 6-2, 250), Carl Wilcox (DE, 6-3, 185) and offensive tackle John Zeikowitz (6-4, 290)

The future is indeed bright as Class of 2025 sophomores Tywan Cox (DB, 5-10, 165), Chris Ewald (CB, 6-1, 165), Adonis Ferguson (CB, 5-11, 160), Logan Kelly (DE, 5-11, 180), Donta Simpson Jr. (DT, 6-3, 280), Darius Smith (DB, 5-10, 170), Jaiden Toussaint (RB, 5-10, 180) and receiver Kyle Washington (5-10, 165) have already shown.

Class of 2026 freshmen Damani Atkinson (DT, 6-1, 300), Mekhi Bradley (OL, 6-2, 285), Jamar Denson (WR, 5-9, 165), Bryant Junius (RB, 6-0, 195), Rodarion Tellez (LB, 6-1, 200), Javarius Robinson (QB, 5-11, 180) and Kerby Vital (OL, 6-1, 255) represent the next wave of talent the Lions have.

Over the years, the Broward County Athletic Association (BCAA) has provided and opportunity for football players, coaches, cheerleaders and bands to be rewarded for a job well done.

This year, the event will take place on Thursday night (7:00) at Nova High School in Davie.

While the previous years have seen some impressive talent, many believe that this year just may the most talented the game has ever had.

Players and coaches representing all the schools (with the exception of St. Thomas Aquinas, playing for a 3M state title) – splitting between north and south.

Here is a look who will be playing:

NORTH TEAM

BLANCHE ELY TIGERS

HEAD COACH: Mike Bailey

No. 9 – Nahcoy Daniels, QB, 5-10, 160. One of the most explosive athletes on a team loaded with quality talent. Was a huge catalyst this season.

No. 29 - Javin Farley, OLB/S, 5-11, 190. Talk to coaches and all will tell you that this is a prospect who will be a major asset at the next level.

No. 99 – Rackwon Pericle, DT, 6-0, 310. Try to block this quality talent one-on-one and you are in for a long game. Strong, athletic and aggressive.

No. 18 – Marcus Williams, WR, 6-0, 200. One of the players who was truly under the radar. Has a chance to blow up at the next level because of his size and play-making abilities.

BOYD ANDERSON COBRAS

HEAD COACH: Eddie Brown

No. 8 – Damian Lewis, WR/DB, 6-0, 175. This two-way performer was one of the better athletes on a team that was looking to start turning the corner.

No. 23 – Jaylon Thomas, RB, 5-10, 180. Easily one of the fastest players on a team that was young and inexperienced. College coaches will be getting a talented football player.

CARDINAL GIBBONS CHIEFS

HEAD COACH: Matt Dubuc

No. 20 – Johnel Mauvals, DB, 5-10, 170. During his senior season, this impressive cornerback became a leader and that was essential for a team that won two state titles.

No. 76 – Aushawn Louis, DT, 6-4, 297. On a team that advanced to the Region finals, this was another catalyst who continued to help add depth to an already quality unit.

No. 21 – Torrence Miller, RB, 5-8, 180. Ever since he was a freshman, this was a gifted young man that everyone was watching. Despite an injury, he was a huge for the Chiefs this season.

No. 26 – Christian Silverstein, P, 5-10, 170. For the past two years there have been very few student/athletes who have worked harder to get better and put the spotlight on themselves by attending showcases and competitions.

COCONUT CREEK COUGARS

HEAD COACH: Johnny Sloan

No. 75 – Juan Carlos Arocho, OL, 5-11, 275. This is one of the many big men who made an impact up front. His football IQ is through the roof, which made him a true leader.

No. 28 – Kervens Saint Juste, Athlete, 5-9, 170.
One of the most underrated prospects in the county. Was directly responsible for keeping the team together during a tough season.

CORAL SPRINGS COLTS

No. 37 – Christyan Barrett, S/OLB, 5-11, 180. With a first-year head coach it was important to have a player like this who was smart, talented and was a leader.

No. 7 – Tyrique Gordon, WR/KR/PR, 6-2, 175. When you watched this quality talent perform there was no getting around the fact that he had a gift of getting it done at a number of positions – including special teams.

No. 30 – Tommy Robinson, DB, 5-11, 180. When you are building a football program, having a senior like this is essential – and his leadership on and off the field proved to be huge.

CORAL SPRINGS CHARTER PANTHERS

HEAD COACH: Christopher Haire

No. 34 – Dominic Dunn, RB/MLB, 5-10, 205. On offense, he is a physical downhill runner, who often makes something out of nothing. Defensively, he is a real playmaker.

No. 41 – Michael Snow, RB/LB, 6-1, 195. One of the great two-way prospects on the team. Someone who has a motor that never stops. College coaches will need to keep an eye on him.

No. 32 – Keon Taylor, RB, 5-9, 200. Another of those under-the-radar football players who has been an impact player for the past few seasons. Has a passion for this game.

No. 16 – Collin Teschky, WR/S, 5-10, 185. When you talk about an overall team player, here is the prospects who was valuable in so many ways. As an athlete and leader, he showed what he was all about. This program will certainly miss him.

DEERFIELD BEACH BUCKS

HEAD COACH: Tramain Hall

No. 10 – Patrick Darelus, DB, 6-0, 160. During a rebuilding season, this program searched for prospects to play and lead, and this was one of those seniors who stepped up.

No. 33 – Tyrion Ervin, LB/DB, 5-10, 190. Not only could this young man hit you like a linebacker, but he could also cover like a safety. College coaches will have a good choice to make with this talented football player.

No. 17 – Armani Norcius, QB, 5-10, 175. Despite being injured this season, this is a talent who showcased his many skills – as a passer and as a runner who extended plays. College coaches need to take a close look at this young man.

No. 74 – Zxamyir Pellissier, OL, 6-3, 305. Coming over from Cardinal Gibbons before the start of the season, he had the opportunity to show what he could do this season, competing against some impressive defensive linemen who had a motor that never stopped.

FORT LAUDERDALE FLYING LS

HEAD COACH: Richard Dunbar

No. 25 - Omar Aristil, DB/SS/LB, 6-1, 190. There was not a more versatile defensive football player on the team this year. Capable of lining up at a number of positions, he was as technically sound as you get at this level.

No. 2 – Patrick Boyd, Jr., Athlete, 5-8, 165. A very explosive football player who got it done on both sides of the ball. Not only a solid athletic talent, but was a true leader and a solid teammate.

No. 70 – Jacari Grant, OL, 6-4, 250. While he lined up mostly at tackle, this is a versatile prospect who is talented enough to play guard at the next level. A very hard worker who displayed leadership.

No. 51 – Jalyn Jackson, DE, 6-2, 230. One of the biggest secrets in south Florida, here is a way under-the-rated football talent that finished among the top pass rushers and sack performers this season. Great speed and a motor that never stops.

No. 15 – Jemarri Watson, WR/DB, 5-8, 170. Whether he is making an impact on the defensive side of the ball as an outstanding secondary performer or his ability to catch the ball on offense, here a true catalyst.

MONARCH KNIGHTS

HEAD COACH: Calvin Davis

No. 6 – Jesse Fields, WR, 5-9, 170. One of the premier receivers in the state of Florida who made a major impact and played a huge role in the success of this program this season. Will be a big-time player at the next level.

No. 81 – Walter Parrish, WR, 6-3, 190. His leadership and play-making ability became a real help in giving this program a boost this season. Was one of four pass-catchers who were among the best in south Florida.

No. 24 – Willie Reed, RB, 5-9, 180. Coming to play for this program this season, he certainly established himself as a talent that added much needed balance between a tremendous passing game and a ground game that aided in this explosive offense.

No. 12 – Jahsean Winchester, DB, 5-10, 175. On a team that won 10 games, the offense wasn’t the only thing that made the success possible. The play in the defensive secondary, especially by this impressive talent, made an impact.

NORTHEAST HURRICANES

HEAD COACH: Nick Dellaria

No. 50 – Richard Blanc, DE, 5-11, 180. Started the past two years and became a really talented edge rusher. Turned out to be a leader that this program really needed as they went through a rebuilding process.

No. 19 – Jason Williams, LB, 5-10, 195, Oakland Park Northeast. Watch him during the course of the season and here is someone who showcased plenty of skills – with his speed and ability to make plays in space. Someone to keep an eye on here in the off-season.

PIPER BENGALS

HEAD COACH: Cedric Alexander

No. 88 – Tavaris Adderly, WR/TE, 6-3, 185. One of the more versatile football prospects that is not only a solid pass catcher, but can also play the tight end position, which gives college coaches a good option.

No. 42 – Joseph Aquino, DE, 6-3, 235. This three-year starter has been impressive to say the least. His motor never stops and his ability to pick things up is amazing. He is one of those young men who can help make a difference at the next level.

PLANTATION  COLONELS
