Deerfield Beach in for 2 Big Fights

[OldSchoolLion]

I think we will find out where Deerfield Beach stands very soon.  As if starting off with Chaminade-Madonna wasn't enough, next up will be a Buford team they will face in Georgia in a couple of weeks.  Buford routed a solid Tucker program 40-14 yesterday-some highlights at link below.

Below are some of the players Buford features.  There will be a ton of FBS talent on the field at this game.  Buford is known for very disciplined play.  A win for DB would be huge.  

 

Derrian Brown-4 star RB multiple Power 5 offers; #15 RB in the country

Aaron McLaughlin-sophomore QB 6'4" 225lbs; already has offers from every Power 5 school you can name

T Lee-3 star ATH multiple Power 5 offers

I hope I'm wrong but I got a feeling Buford is going to work them.   DFB better be ready to face a serious OLine.    Hope DFB is able to move the ball on offense to allow their D some time to breath.   Buford's O is one if those that can wear defense down.

In 2014, Buford shut out nationally ranked Trinity Christian and last year they beat Melbourne Central Catholic, so there is some history with Florida.  I think Deerfield's defense could have problems stopping Buford....huge line, elite rb, and a big pocket passer south FL kids don't often face.  Buford does not typically beat itself.  They remind me of a small, public version of St Thomas Aquinas.

This.  I thought DFB's defense would at least hold SJR's O in check last year, but they got blown out.   This years Buford team is a good bit better than last years SJR, at least that's my take after watching them.

I was thinking the same.  ...another interesting thing about Buford.  They have a great overall sports program like STA and encourage kids to play other sports.  I think it gives them an edge on the football field. 

For example, they have a 6'1" 222-pound linebacker who is an elite-level lacrosse player.  You know that guy does not get easily gassed.  And they have a wr who is a big-time baseball recruit...must have some great hand-eye coordination.

Yeah I think Buford has sent the most kids to play D1 football in the state.  That says a lot.

Deerfield will lose both mark it.

Video of what Deerfield is up against this weekend.  Look at the size of the line, and Derrian Brown is rated the #15 rb in the country.  Buford is 9-1 vs OOS competition since 2007.

Deerfield will need to move the ball in the air to have a chance.  One thing Ga teams just aren't as good at as FL schools is pass defense.  

That being said the game is at Buford and will most certainly be 12 v 11.   I think they'd win in a neutral site though anyways (but would be much closer)

Lol you better hope your right cause if your wrong I’m going in on you... I highly doubted that you watch Buford like that... I think Deerfield lose to cause it’s in Ga cause of the refs funny up there but I don’t think it’s a blow out

Lol ion watch em every week and etc but I’ve watched em and know their track record over national ranked teams/Florida teams if this was in Deerfield on that junk yard of a field then I would call this game much closer but it’s in ga Deerfield like most Broward teams are a front runner but if u hit them in the mouth early and often it’s all she wrote watch. The funny thing about it tho Is even after the hype about Deerfield is still gonna b there lol

...an article about Deerfield's victory over Buford.  Wow, Buford is normally disciplined, but had a tremendous amount of turnovers in this game.  Sounds like all 3 of DB's TD's were off long passing plays.  That rb and Oline from Buford must be special for DB to allow that much in the way of rushing yards.

In 2014 when Buford played Trinity, they were less talented but about a million times better coached. That wasn’t the case this time. I think Deerfield was decently well coached but I was less impressed than usual with Buford’s coaching.
