Back then Dillard was dominant as it seemed that area had so many great players representing it. I actually made light in a different thread that we traveled to Fort Lauderdale in 1990 and played Dillard in the state semi-final in a competitive game losing by the score of 12-0. I remember as my only daughter was a Kowboy cheerleader then and cried after the game. Dillard went on to lose the following week in the final I think against a Gainesville or Ocala school. We suffer from community support as well as we would have several thousand routinely come to Kowboy games and now the numbers are in the hundreds. Great memories indeed!
Thats how I remember it years ago. Back in 91/92 I was strength coach for Dillard. I would bring my son with me to the games, he was about 8. Coach Scott let him run on the field after the kickoff to retrieve the kicking tee. When the Panthers lost he would cry! Dillard kept all their players back then & the stands were full & rabid. Lockhart stadium was the place to be. Plantation, South Plantation, Stranahan, Fort Lauderdale, were schools that had some great years, with their players & their fans. It’ll never be matched again. Great memories.
