On a weekend that saw two of the major brands host combines in south and central Florida, The Event/Make A Play hosted a very competitive 7-on-7 tournament at Austin Tindall Park in Kissimmee.
Teams representing 12U, 13U, 14U, 15U and Varsity came together for two days of competition.
If you follow high school football in south Florida, you already know that Miami Christopher Columbus is one of the programs to watch every year.
With the school’s first state football title two years ago, runner up three season ago -and this past year during the pandemic, the Explorers and head coach Dave Dunn finished 8-0 with a thrilling south Florida Tri-County win (27-24) over Deerfield Beach
Over the past two years, Douglas High’s football program has lost just twice.
In a year following a district championship and a home state playoff game, head coach Quentin Short and his Eagles – like just about everyone else in south Florida – saw the 2020 season go by with very little fanfare.
When news came down that Plantation, which was just an 8A school not too long ago, was moving down to 6A this season, veteran head coach Steve Davis treated it as another year.
