Statement District Game Tonight For Norland/Archbishop McCarthy

To say the past two weeks have not gone as the Miami Norland Vikings had planned is a major understatement.

The Vikings (0-0, 2-4) were the team that many felt would give defending state 4A champion Plantation American Heritage a run this season in district play. But after convincing losses to Miami Northwestern (49-21) and Delray Beach Atlantic (43-20), their season could hang in the balance tonight (7:00) when they play host to Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy (0-0, 4-1) in what is now a key district contest at Traz Powell Stadium.

This has indeed been a crazy season for first year head coach Tyronn Johnson and his team – after blowing a 22-point lead in the opening game and losing to defending state 7A runner up Lake Mary, 30-29.

They rebounded with wins against rival Carol City and Homestead South Dade, only to see everything fall apart in convincing losses.

HUGE GAME FOR THE MAVERICKS AS WELL

While Norland is trying to find itself and rebound with a district win, first year head coach Jake Pew and his Archbishop McCarthy team can certainly make a statement with a win.

This is a team that started out with a huge Broward National Showcase win against Cardinal Gibbons but dropped a game to 1A Miami True North. A win this evening would be huge for the program with American Heritage and Plantation still left to play in the district.

Unbeaten Miami Westminster Christian Is For Real!

When the season began and the experts who follow high school football looked at the top teams in Class 1A, the usual teams were at the top of the list.

National powerhouse Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna was talked about – for good reason. So were Miami True North Classical Academy and Miami Archbishop Carroll, who have been programs who have continued to gain momentum throughout recent seasons.

As those teams were talked about as possible playoff programs that may have the chance to close the gap with Chaminade, there was a team that was left out of that conversation. A school that had been in that conversation in the past.

In the first month of the season, while many schools have stepped up, one school has quietly made a huge impact, posting a 5-0 record and outscoring the opposition, 189-13.

For veteran head coach Patrick Wennin and his Warriors, this season has certainly unfolded as one that has directly put this program in the spotlight.

It is a team that has senior leaders and underclassmen who continue to make an impact:

CLASS OF 2026

Austin De Moya, LB. Another of those experienced prospects that has led by example with 28 total tackles, six tackles for loss and 1 sack in five games.

Monday, September 22nd South Florida High School Sports Radio Show Rewind

Once again on Monday night the South Florida High School Sports Radio Show took center stage with seven impressive guests.

Each and every week, the FM 104.3 WQAM radio program attracts the newsmakers in high school sports, recruiting college sports – not only locally, but throughout the country.

The show gives listeners an opportunity to hear about college football programs statewide from the media that cover them. It also focuses on the coaches who use the state of Florida – Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in particular.

The show, which has run for nearly two decades, has become a popular listen for recruiting fans as well as high school sports purists, focusing on coaches and players in all sports.

Here is a look at the way Monday went:

The University of Central Florida is 3-0 as they head to Kansas State for the Big 12 opener this Saturday. Brandon Helwig from UCFSports.com talked about the team and season ahead.

BRANDON HELWIG ON MONDAY NIGHT. https://www.audacy.com/podcast/south-florida-high-school-sports-radio-5af98/episodes/brandon-helwig-ucf-sports-dot-com-f2098

It has been a tough start for Florida Atlamphintic University – with a key loss to rival FIU. The Owls will host unbeaten Memphis University this Saturday at home and Justin Backer from the Palm Beach Post talked about the game and season ahead.

After a 4-0 start, the University of Miami now takes this week off with a trip to Tallahassee for another nationally televised contest for all to see. Jazz Santana from the Sixth Ring Canes broke down the 4-0 start.

Week 6. District Games Will Put Distance Between Teams

As we race toward the sixth week of the season – as things are moving quickly – you will start to see this season really take shape with district games and more key matchups showcasing the better programs in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.

With Top 20 programs squaring off against each other all season, when the year comes to an end, like always, we will have a true No. 1 team.

Remember, strength of schedule means everything, so if you have had a rough start and are still rated, it only signals that you are facing elite competition and should never, ever be penalized for stepping up to the plate.

As we move quickly along in this season, here is a look at the way Miami-Dade and Broward schools look after Week 5:

Miami Central Flexing Some Muscle

Coming into last week’s games in south Florida, there were a number of teams who were getting plenty of attention.

Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, Miami Northwestern and Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna were at the head of the list that many across the state of Florida focused on. But there is one program that may have been forgotten about, and as they showed last Friday night – beating defending 4A state champion Plantation American Heritage on the road, 31-21, Miami Central has not gone anywhere.

In a crazy start to a season where first year head coach Derrick Gibson and his Rockets had no spring game or kickoff classic (postponed at Ocala Vanguard due to bad weather), saw their opener at 3A state runner up Jacksonville Raines get cancelled and see their district opener against Pompano Beach get pushed back, this team has gotten off to a 3-0 start.

The come-from-behind win against the Patriots not only showed that this team has talent, but also proved that the Rockets have character and are indeed in this to win the state title, which didn’t happen last year.

Miami Central is still one of the best teams in the country. While they may not be as deep as they have been in the past, they are loaded with elite playmakers and are well coached.

The group of prospects that this roster has is certainly as good as any in Florida and could still stand toe-to-toe with some of the nation’s best.

2026 - Jayden Ford, RB, 5’6, 180. FIU commitment is indeed a difference maker. His speed and ability to make huge plays makes him one of the best in south Florida.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/18526032/Jayden-Ford

2026 - Otis Guyton, DE/OLB, 6’0, 200 – 3.8 GPA. Easily is one of the best pass rushers in the state who has been a major force for the past two years.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/19391934/Otis-Guyton

2028 - Damien Harvey, DT, 6’1, 250 – 3.7 GPA. Here is a young playmaker that many across the state have already recognized and will be rated as one of the best in a very talented class. Tough to block one on one.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/22980313/Damien-Harvey

2026 - Omari Hollis, RB, 5’11, 180. Has added depth to the position as a bruising back that is not easy to bring down. He is committed to attend Presbyterian University.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/19784754/Omari-Hollis

2028 - Demetrius Ingram, WR/FS, 6’1, 175. One of the emerging young players on this team.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/23557327/Demetrius-Ingram

2026 - Joshua Joseph, WR/CB, 6’0, 190. This is a two-way athlete that has already left an impression.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/21019965/66f37d7041683669e20886cc

2026 – Brandon Kinsey, WR/CB, 6’2, 195. This Miami Immaculata LaSalle transfer is easily one of the most impact athletes in the nation. Headed to Purdue next year, this is a student/athlete that is indeed a major talent.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17807080/632f82c19a911c07f4d8c2ae

2026 – Daune Manor, WR, 6’1, 180 – 3.0 GPA. Of all the players that were added to this roster in the off-season, there may not have been a more impact performer than this young man who has been brilliant since coming from Miramar Everglades.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/18083812/Duane-Manor

2026 – Karon Maycock, LB, 6’2, 210 – 3.0 GPA. This FSU commitment has turned into one of the best in Florida – and has made a difference so far this season.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/18939858/Karon-Maycock

2026 - Cameron McCrea, DE, 6’1, 215 – 2.8 GPA. Wrestling. A productive defensive force that makes play!

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/16025610/Cameron-McCrea

2026 - Anthony “GB” McQueen, QB, 6’1, 185 – 3.84 GPA. A three-year varsity performer, two for the Rockets, he has turned into a productive leader.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/27929242/Anthony-McQueen?

2026 - Louisdens Paul, OLB, 5’11, 195. This Miami Springs transfer has picked up where he left off as a three-year starter for the Golden Hawks. Is always around the ball and has been a huge addition to a quality defense.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17996023/Louisdens-Paul

2027 - Anterrio Thornton Jr., OL, 6’2, 280. One of the fast-rising underclassmen who actually had a very productive off-season that thrust him into the spotlight. Solid player.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/23512748/Anterrio-Thornton-Jr
