I'm not sure anyone is out but I know that back in the Royal Palm Beach game that Traivon Leonard had a elbow injury and I heard something about him being out about 4 weeks which could have him up in the air to return against IMG on thursday.  Has to suck healing up from an injury and returning versus IMG   ...

Not nhsfb.com. Didn't you hear the breaking news??? Bellview's coach just got fired! Lol.

Very sad when anyone get injured especially their senior year.  As far as players stepping up, I was really impressed with senior Jordan Merell.   Then they have Mike Harley, Josh Palmer, Elijah Moore, Jonathan Moore, and Tavaris Kelley jr.    So they have some really good players at the position.  

On that note Handicapper... What's your opinion on the 3 man front STA ran with against BTW?  Seems like it's been what I've been seeing STA run lately. 

Panthers in a tight one.   Let's go Dillard!

I  PMd you on that one.

AND not throw picks.   Turnovers against this team and it's over early.  

The qb?

I hope for the sake of Florida football, but we shall see.

I have seen what Braden River can do twice last year. With Thomas back I wouldn't sleep on them at all.

I think this is an underrated game. I think Norland is going to give AHP all they can handle. What say you? Game is at 5:30 on NFhs network.

Norland's a pretty legit team though.  VERY underrated.  Great D. 

Ehhh, THIS YEAR, I'm not so sure.   Definitely wouldn't feel very confident.  Not saying they couldn't or wouldn't have a good shot.  Just IMG looks strong as Fu this year.   And you know I'm an STA guy.  

Yep, up 30-0 know at the end of 1st

I'm watching this Bishop Gorman and Cedar Hill game and if Gorman keeps this up St. Thomas might really be in trouble.

I doubt that, Nobodys mentioning it but STA. was robbed of a TD. I dont favor either team, but i thought BTW got some favorable calls. It is what it is.

It may have been a DE or DT actually
He took his uniform # off quick so I don't remember. I only know it was a starter. It may have been Lamonte McDougle.

btw oline looks big, thought AHP was going to win up front, not happening.

Tavares Kelly is a junior.  Class of 2018

Miramar lost their top RB and DE Owen Carney to Miami Central.  They also lost a very good OLB/WR Yasir Abdullah to Carol City .  They may have lost a couple more to Central and/or Carol City as well.  The good news is they got a 2018 QB Romelo Williams from Everglades that seemed to be building great chemistry in the 7V7s over the summer.  I heard a rumor that they got a 2018 transfer WR/DB from Everglades who is a track burner. Jamal Walton has run 10.4 100meters, 21.4 200 meters, and 45.9 400 meters.  
The biggest news that what many feel will allow Miramar to take back the District is the return of Brian Edwards that apparently spent the summer with STA but was never officially enrolled.  He is a very solid 2017 S/DB.  
 
2 years ago Miramar was actually decent but they were going through the crisis with the fraud (Matt Strout).  Last year they were a tad below a decent Plantation team but a lot behind Flanagan.  Here are Miramar's losses the last 2 years.  As you can see they only lost to good - elite caliber teams:
 
2015:
 
Miramar 14   IMG   38    - Nationally top 25 team. National Independent Power.
Miramar 18   STA   48 - Nationally top 25 team. 7A State Champion.
Flanagan 31 Miramar 6 - Nationally top 25 team 8A State Chamion.
Plantation 20 Miramar 12 - Plantation - Quality 8A team that was seconds away of upsetting Deerfield Beach in 8A first round.
Hallandale 7  Miramar 0 - Hallandale - Beat AHP and almost went on to take 5A States losing a close game to a very good Bishop Moore team. Also a top National 75 team.
 
 
2014:
 
AHP 30  Miramar 26 -  5A State Champion and top National 50 team.
STA 20  Miramar 12 - National top 25 team. 7A State Champion.
Miramar 21 Flanagan 27 - National top 100 team.  8A State Semifinals Runner Up.
 
I understand they have been down but keep in mind the teams they were losing to were very good teams.  That and the fact of how good Flanagan crept up on and passed the Patriots the last couple years make it look a lot worse than what it is.  They at least beat all of the teams they were supposed to over the last two years with what they had to work with for the most part.
 
2016 they lighten up a bit with  the schedule with Mater Academy, STA, and District rival Flanagan as their key games.  Western is supposedly the Dark Horse in that District so that game could be interesting.  Outside of that I see Miramar handling Monarch, @ Plantation, @ South Plantation, Cypress Bay, @ Hallandale, Everglades.`
Miramar probably has the depth to match Flanagan but Flanagan has the edge with the top play-makers on each side of the ball.  That may be the slight edge I would give Flanagan.  Either way, you can expect another game with 500+ penalty yards between those teams. It will be fun.
 
I expect Miramar to be a little better than last year and close to their 2014 form.  If Miramar did not lose several key players to Carol City and Miami Central they probably would have been favored to win the  District. Overall, the District will be down and if the Patriots want it bad enough, they could still be to take it back as a slight underdog to Flanagan. 7-3 is probably realistic, and 8-2 should be attainable.
