Was great seeing you again. What a defensive game. As we talked before the game, I said we would have to beat you through the air as I felt that Osceola would control the ground game. Malik Holman was able to rush for 157 yards, probably the hardest fought yards of his career. But through the air is where the difference was with Tre Kelly passing for 233 yards. There was a lot of back and forth in this game. Both defenses made critical stops. We lost the turnover battle and were abysmal on special teams. Usually when you loose those areas you loose the game. I do not feel EP did or Osceola as well did, But a most everyone looked past us and way under estimated who South Lake is. I dont have Osceola's stats to compare but I would guess total yards will be similar. As we all know Armwood is a different animal!
So this is what I got before the Oak Hall/Cambridge game
@MarkECannon 16
@THAT S--T WAS FUNNY 16
@gbrown977 15
@imjustafan2 14
@LAZ 13
@fishspinners 12
@Trelle 11
@Joshua Wilson 11
So it looks like @Trelle and @Joshua Wilson are eliminated because @fishspinners would have the tie breaker over both of them regardless of what happens in the Oak Hall/Cambridge game
This game was played at Cypress Bay High because West Broward doesn’t have a football stadium I guess. Weird atmosphere. Stadium is more like a youth football field. No bands which unfortunately is not unusual for the playoffs.
First time seeing West Broward play. The number one strength of their team is their skill players. They are fast, quick, coordinated, catch the ball, cut and score. West Broward’s diminutive, freshman receiver, Kedarius Rhaney, was the star of the show scoring multiple TD’s. He made the play of the night laying out about 2 feet above the ground in the end zone, reaching out with his right hand and pulling the ball in to his body then landing in the end zone for the touchdown. You guys know I go to games all year. That catch may have been the best I’ve seen this year. West Broward is similar to Vero Beach. Great offense and an attacking defense that is loaded with speed. Monarch was playing from behind all night but they hung tough. The score at halftime was West Broward up 17-12. Obviously West Broward controlled the 2nd half. Monarch needed a big game from their senior QB, Florentino Lopez. It was a tough night for him. Lopez struggled but not because lack of effort.
A name to remember is Amir Sears. He is a 6’3” sophomore cornerback for West Broward. He is already reaching superstar status. He is already a top level recruit. It is not a real reach to say he will play in the NFL in the future.
The game was marred with a lot of undisciplined play. West Broward will need to clean that up when they play Southridge. They have the skill players to give Southridge problems.
