WHO: Miami Northwestern (6A-16) at Cocoa (4A-5)
WHEN: Friday, May 24
WHERE: Tiger Stadium, Cocoa
WHY: When this game was announced, it rose to the tops of our list here of the best spring football games and it should be on the tops of anyone’s list if you want to be honest. Miami Northwestern is coming off a rebound season where they made it back to the playoffs after missing out in 2011. The Bulls are loaded with talent once again, but will still need to find ways to plug any holes that have been left open. For Cocoa, they have always been looking to take on new challenges no matter if its during the fall or during the spring and they will find what kind of strength and talent they have against Miami Northwestern. Knowing what they have and what they will have to work on will prepare the Tigers immensely for their first game of the 2013 season against St. Joseph Prep out of Philadelphia, PA. Overall, this game will give both teams a great test going into the summer and fall.
