Top Games
Friday
American Heritage-Delray (2-1) at Key West (2-2): The Stallions make a trip down to Key West to take on a very high powered offense that the Conchs offer. The question will be if it can be controlled or if the Stallions will run away with this game.
Belen Jesuit (2-2) vs. No. 1 Columbus (4-0) at FIU Stadium: The annual showdown between the two-all boys Catholic High Schools in Miami, this will draw out many fans and supporters of the schools. However, on the football side of things Columbus looks like a solid team that should take care of business against Belen Jesuit.
Miami Southridge (2-2) at Miami Carol City (3-1): Will this be a game that Miami Southridge can use to bounce back from two straight losses or with Miami Carol City continue to roll now two week after the big win against Lakeland?
Miami Northwestern (1-2) at No. 3 South Dade (3-0): Can Miami Northwestern bounce back after dropping a couple of close games in the last few weeks or will South Dade run over the Bulls en route to another win?
Saturday
American Heritage-Plantation (3-1) at No. 7 Miami Norland (2-2): American Heritage has been tested over the last several games and that should be no different here. Miami Norland has played teams like South Dade and Miami Central very close, so nothing would be surprising that comes from this game.
No. 9 Booker T. Washington (2-2) at No. 2 Miami Central (3-1): This game doesn’t have the hype like it had over the last few seasons, but if Booker T. Washington actually wins the game this year, this could put dobuts on just good Miami Central actually is as we head towards the midpoint of the season.
