Coral Gables, FL – Mark Richt’s two day camp this weekend held drills with offensive/defensive lineman and a seven on seven tournament with area high schools. Glades Central brought home the title for Palm Beach County as they defeated Everglades Prep 11-2. This was a very competitive tournament as several players were cramping up in the 90 degree weather.

Although seven on seven competitions drew the most eyes on a hot Sunday in South Florida, defensive coordinator Manny Diaz was most concerned with the players that play in the trenches as this is where most games are won and lost.

“Everyone loves seven on seven, but the game is still about blocking and getting off blocks,” said Coach Diaz. “In the fall these lineman have more to do with winning then seven on sevens.”

 

The Hurricanes are looking for a certain type of player that can fill voids on the defensive line. In a game where players seem to just bigger at a younger age, size does matter.

“The game comes down to twitchiness, suddenness and change of direction,” said Diaz. “There is a size that you have to be functionally to survive, but if you don’t have the movement skills in this day in age it’s not good enough. The top guys have to be strong enough to hold up against the run and at the same time have shake to be a factor on the pass rush.”

Camp continues next weekend on the campus of the University of Miami.

JV Championship Series: Homestead Outlasts North Miami 26-22

Follow Miami Gardens, FL- The Homestead Broncos Junior Varsity Team earned a birth in the inaugural Football Hotbed JV Championship Series Final this week outlasting the North Miami Pioneers 26-22.  It was a thrilling match that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the final whistle. The Broncos showcased their resilience and teamwork, coming from behind to secure the victory. The game was marked by impressive plays, with standout performances from both teams.  The game’s overall MVP was 2027 quarterback Jahmir McCall of Homestead High.  The Broncos’ quarterback delivered a stellar performance, throwing two touchdown passes and maintaining composure under pressure. Freshman running back Jermaine Green caught the first touchdown reception out of the backfield and the go-ahead touchdown was secured by 2028 wide receiver Gemani Smith. Meanwhile, the defense held strong during critical moments, thwarting the Pioneers’ advances with key tackles and interceptions.  The game sealing pass deflection was made by 2028 defensive back Leone Leonidas. The Pioneers played an excellent game, especially offensively led by their sophomore quarterback, Chammbrayy Campbell.  He hooked up with North Miami 2027 wide out Michael Cabre to open the game’s scoring.  The post-corner pass was perfect and Cabre made a great adjustment to the ball for the touchdown reception. Overall, the Pioneers couldn’t overcome playing sloppy toward the end of the game as turnovers and penalties killed drives.  They turned the ball over with a fumble into the endzone and had an interception on the 1-yard line on drives that would have probably ended up as scores. On the final drive of the game, the Pioneers were thwarted by the Homestead defense that had bended but not broken all game.  As the Broncos celebrated their hard-fought win, they set their sights on the upcoming final, determined to bring home the championship trophy. The team’s coaches praised the players’ dedication and spirit, acknowledging their hard work and commitment throughout the season.
