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:

Head Coach: Adam Ratkevich

2021 Record: 9-3

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 to Hurst, the Wildcats also boast rising seniors Roger Reyes (6-5, 285 – 4.07 GPA, 1240 SAT), running back Nelson Parker (6-1, 185 – 2.6 GPA), defensive tackle Roger Hunt (6-3, 275 – 2.57 GPA, 900 SAT), Miami Edison transfer receiver British Mitchell (5-9, 165 – 2.9 GPA), Justin Tedim (TE/H-Back, 6-2, 210 – 4.08 GPA, 1070 SAT), Trevor Catronio (SS/WR/RB, 6-0, 200 – 3.8 GPA, 1000 SAT) and Jordan “JoJo” Jean (DB, 5-8, 165 – 2.7 GPA).

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.

THE VIKINGS FILE

Head Coach: Daryle Heidelburg

2021 Record: 5-5

THE SCOOP

While they won three of their final four games a year ago, the Vikings found themselves digging out of a hole that they fell into early in the season.

Injuries and mistakes put this team behind early and often, and while they won’t dwell on what happened a year ago, this team can promise that things are changing for a team that has made some huge changes.

From new players to some new coaches, this is a program that has an opportunity to do some impressive things this coming season.

Being active in the off-season, having prospects standout at combines and 7-on-7 events have pumped some optimism into the talented program.

Here is a look at some of the personnel that have showcased some ability – in all classes - during the spring:

THE ROYAL LIONS FILE

Head Coach: Helder Valle

2021 Record: 10-1

THE SCOOP

While the best season in school history came to a crashing halt in the first round of the state playoffs, the mood around this program is as high as it’s ever been.

After 10 straight wins in the regular season – which included victories over Coral Springs Charter (50-0), Miami Belen Jesuit (8-7), Immokalee (47-6), Homestead Everglades Prep (42-6), Miami St. Brendan (35-0), Somerset Academy South Homestead (47-6), Pembroke Pines Somerset Academy (23-3), Coconut Creek North Broward Prep (48-0), SW Ranches Archbishop McCarthy (41-8) and Fort Lauderdale Pine Crest (14-13), it was that rematch with Pine Crest – in the opening round of the state playoffs – that derailed the dream season.

The 10-7 setback may have dampened what was an amazing year, the Royal Lions headed into the off-season with a hollow feeling.

With the spring in full swing – and the summer coming up – keep an eye on this talented program once again in 2022.

Here is a look at some of the gifted prospects this program has:
