Dillard has also brought two offensive gurus with 7 state championships between them. Starting with Coach Quay former carol city high school OC who won 4 state titles with the chiefs, and now will be dillards OC. Dillard has also brought in Former Cardinal gibbons OC patrick deckle to be the CO offensive corddidnator & the director of operations, coach deckle also has 3 state championship rings as cardinal gibbons OC. 

So far dillard has been one of the hottest destinations this off season for the transfer portal. Since the off season has started Dillard has received a plethora of high quality transfers. Including 2 4* receivers. One is 6'3 the other is 6'4, dillard also have a Revamped Offensive line & Defensive line avg at 6'2 just over 200 pounds. A picture of dillards defense just went viral a few days ago, alot of people compared they look like a dillard University lol. 

NOW this matchup. If everything on paper alligns on the Field, This is Gonna Be a BARN BURNER!!, the Great thing is, its Gonna Be At Home & our SOS this upcoming season is gonna be insane in regards to playoff seeding. Especially with St peters prep (NJ) flying down to play Dillard Aug 29th. 

So Many people last year stated dillard had a Juco schedule, a Jv Schedule, there for nobody respected the Undefeated regular season record, and they were quickly justified when we were 1 in done in the playoffs. This upcoming season it appears Dillard is coming with a vengeance.!! LETS GO DILLARD!!!

because top teams like STA, miami central,miami northwestern,american heritage,chaminade & etc are all still in regular districts for the 2026-2028 classification change. @nolebull813

Some of the topics tie in to discussions held on these pages, including computer rankings, playoff selection, attendance zones, and the Open Division.  Of course, this is only an advisory body, but it is refreshing to see that at least some of the coaches are aware and engaged in the challenges facing high school football in Florida.    

Can only find the below so maybe this will end up being retracted.

This upcoming season will also be the Debut of the "South Fl Rilvarly Classics"

its going to put some of the best of what broward has to offer vs some of the best dade and west palm have to offer. @nolebull813

speaking with both head coaches, this national matchup was set up to the stand alone marquee matchup that weekend. 

Dillard has not only alot of returning talent including 4* star class of 2029 qb Lemack who would be getting his 1st start this year. Dillard also has gotten in a few high prospect transfers, while also making some key changes in the coaching department.

Dillard has brought in A Defensive corrdinator Guru in Rosegreen Who was one of the hardest hitting safeties ever to Come out Of Auburn, Rosegreen is also a Dillard alumn who spent his last 7 years at miami norland.

Dillard Also Made Changes with the offensive coordinator position as well bringing in 3x State champion "Delk" Anderson. Anderson is one of the most respected offensive coordinators in florida. He spent his last 8 years at Gibbons, where he won 3 state titles & led a offense that avg close to 30 points per game.

As for st peters prep, they obviously need no inteoduction theyre a national ranked opponent, consistently gets the best of the best talent in their reigon & has been a power house for many many MANY years. 

Last year even tho Dillard went (10-0) in the regular season, it wasnt respected by some because the LACK of contenders we had to face, which led to the "WEAK SCHEDULE" Conversations. Many have stated they would rather have a (7-3) record losing to 3 national or state ranked competition Vs Having a (10-0) record playing str8 cupcakes. 

Well it looks like Dillard heard all the schedule criticism of last year and has made it a effort to beef up their schedule in a BIG WAY this year, This is Gonna Be A Huge Game In what will be both teams Season Opener.

Now While I am grateful for the tournament & All The Teams Thats Gonna Get Their Chance To Showcase Their Programs. 

What im Not A Fan Of is , Today's Reveal was Hyped up The Last Month Plus, Only For 1 Game to Be revealed & We Have to Wait Until Tomorrow For Another Reveal & so on & so Forth. Why Not Just Reveal All The Matchups At Once. 

Anderson Also was the OC at Gibbons the last 8 years where he has won 3 state titles and consistently had the chiefs as one of the most profilific offenses in the state.

With Anderson at the helm as OC & Jr rosegreen a dillard grad that came back home this season as DC after spending the last 5 years at miami norland as their DC, Dillard is making it known that early playoff exits will NOT be tolerated and that they are a SERIOUS title contender
