I was trying to find out if a lot of Spanish people were there. I've sat on Jackson side plenty of times and I rarely see them, the most is probably 5 people if that.

Remeber Booker t was not open in 98 so a lot of their kids went to jackson too... It had some Latins there but it was super swoll.. After the west won everybody storm the field... Fans too...

@Zoe Boy When you get a chance go on schooldigger.com and type in Miami Jackson and this will explain what I'm talking about. Oh I wish I was there to see them storm the field and which game you at soul bowl or the playoff game. If I'm not mistaken they played each other twice that year.

the question is how do rivaries in Miami maintain when the top team goes back in forth, like 80s it was northwestern who had success in 90s and most of 00s, carol city had some success in 90s and central and btw as we hit the 2010s, but how do those rivaries maintain itself

They maintain themselves typically in terms of how close the schools are, but also just on pure tradition. BTW and Central are kind of writing their tradition right now, but those kids mostly all know eachother and don't live too far apart.

On the other hand if you look at a rivalry like Northwestern/Jackson and all the history behind it that alone keeps the fans and alums coming to the games. That game has lost the luster it had in the 90s and 00s but is still a big time game. At least to those schools.

This is an old post but anyway. The first Miami innercity rivalry starts back in the 20's I believe Booker T. and D.A. Dorsey,(Overtown and Liberty City). D.A.Dorsey would close 1956, Northwestern is built in 1956. Booker T. would close as a HS.in 1969 kids are bused to Miami Jackson. Not to bring race into it,but during the late 60's black folk started to move to north Miami-Dade. Miami Edison, Miami Central, Carol City, Norland. All are neighboring schools with some family ties so its always a rivalry RANKINGS GO OUT THE DOOR!

@TheFishbowl Your right but let me correct you on some things. It was 1967 not 1969, when Jackson started to become black, the new soul bowl started and majority went to Jackson and the rest were split between Miami Beach and Miami high.

Wait....How can anyone not have chosen the MUCK BOWL!! Pahokee v Glades Central...yes I know they arent what they used to be in terms of elite teams but those games have had some of the greatest players in the history of FLA HS Football play in them. Also tons of rings between both schools....awesome rivalry game one day I hope I can see one of those games in person

That right! That rivalry got national attention. As of now both teams are on the rise and muck bowl gotten alot more competitive lately. Pahokee almost got us last year!

Hardee vs DeSoto have been playing since 1921.  

 

No scores for 1921 or 1922; played twice in 1923 & 1924.  There was a game in 1909 too and maybe one or two others pre-1921.

    • TFA was doing way more than just a few slap on the wrist actions.  They are recruiting around the state and haven't stopped.  MNW probably has an outcry because a coach did it out of the kindness of his heart and love for the kids.  Hard to look at that in the same way as TFA which is all business and gives zeros shits about their kids. To be fair, TFA kids give zero shits about their school as it is a mutual business decision.  However, rules are rules and Teddy broke the rules so consequences are due no matter the intent.
    • I know "communism" is a common scare word brought up in the political world just to easily dismiss any ideas of a shared revenue concept.  In the world of sports, uncapped spending creates a great divide in competitiveness and hurts the sport overall.  If we didn't have any type of distributed money from the government, only a few schools could afford to field a team.  Football is incredibly expensive compared to other sports.  The big programs do in fact have a huge budget advantage over the field despite the shared revenue anyway.  The solution to this is actually to do whatever other states are doing to fund their programs.  Georgia coaches make serious money and coaching is a legit career there.  How do they afford it while Florida sucks ass?
    • The question i have is & im being serious when I ask this ; what is the difference between northwestern & the first academy.    because the first academy got hit with one of the harshest punishments ive seen recently for doing basically the same thing. Paying for uber rides & other incentives to the players in need & for a lot of the transfers that transferred to TFA but didn’t have transportation to & from.    & there was NO out cry. Matter fact everyone said TFA got what they deserved. But in MNW case it’s all hell broke loose. Is it because who the head coach is ? Or is it because teddy explained what all the money he spent was for ? …….
    • If we keepin it real. Before last year northwestern was known by name, and last history but, their product on the field was avg at best. Their last title was in 2019 & after that they had a 1 or 2 4-6 or 5-5 seasons after.    & most will say they only won the championship last year because outside of central who had to forfeit 3A and the teams that’s in it is HORRENDOUS.    teddy becoming the head coach of the west single handily had transfers legal and illegal coming in left and right because he’s a former/active nfl player & lets face it in 2025 the kids love to follow the hype.    having a face like teddy on the sidelines automatically guarantee that entire team all types of connects, endorsements, exposure & etc. 
    • Nolebull, I'm not sure who you're referring to when you talk about the "jealous" and "disdainful" people.  Bridgewater has put the MNW administrators in between a rock and a hard place.   He basically came right out and said "I've been breaking the rules and if you don't like it, tough sh*t."  The MNW admin folks have two choices:  try to take matters into their own hands in hopes that the FHSAA will go easy on them or, alternatively, put their collective heads into the sand, ignore Bridgewater's public confession and hope that the matter quietly goes away.  Oh, and it ain't going away.
