Fort Lauderdale, FL – Putting in work on a Saturday is the norm for young athletes looking take their ability to the next level.  The Football Hotbed Underclassmen Showcase offers a platform for young athletes to improve their game, showcase their talent and measure their skills against their opponents and teammates.  The camp featured players from the 2020 and 2021 recruiting cycles.

Brian Brewton, WR, St. Thomas Aquinas, took home the honor of ‘Fastest Man’ recording the fastest time at camp running a 4.58.  After recording the fastest time on laser, he was able to edge nine others in a 40-yard race.  The slot receiver will be going into his junior year and is just another weapon for the Raiders to utilize in pursuit of a ninth state championship.

“Track workouts really help with the forty time,” said Brewton.  “That wasn’t my fastest time, I ran a 4.48 before. We have enough speed at St. Thomas to win state.”  

Brewton also runs track in the 100m, 200m and 400m.

 

Fastest 40 times

There was no shortage of lightning quick receivers on the home field of Cardinal Gibbons High School.  Rounding out the top five was Philip Bangura, WR, Gateway, (4.62), Kevin Ross, WR, Miramar, (4.76), Robert Floyd, WR, Blanche Ely (4.77) and Troy Stellato, WR, Cardinal Gibbons (4.69).

 

“If you don’t put in work you won’t get the most out of your game,” said Stellato.  “I try to work on everything. Lifting, footwork, schoolwork, routes, one on ones. I try to do everything I can do to improve my craft.”

Stellato, who is also a member of seven on seven squad South Florida Air Raid, will add to a loaded Cardinal Gibbons squad that should contend for the 5A championship this fall.  

Also running in the 4.8s was Travis Smith, LB, St. Lucie West Centennial (4.8), Gregory Janvier, WR, Calvary Christian, (4.86), Jake Harrington, WR, Cardinal Gibbons, Kemani Brown, QB, Miami Northwestern (4.88), C’quan Janpierre, RB, Fort Lauderdale (4.85) and Joshua Glaze, LB, Plantation (4.8).

Standouts

Stealing the show today was big sophomore offensive lineman and Miami Hurricanes commit Laurence Seymour, Miami Central.  Seymour has a quick first step at 6’2,” 300 pounds.  His quickness sets you up for his strength and you could find yourself on the ground very quickly.  

Anthony Davis, WR, Wekiva at 6’1,” 196 pounds, the athletic receiver caught balls over shorter receivers with ease.  This 2021 receiver out of Orlando could start

Christopher Gibert, WR, Columbus is one of sharpest route runners amongst underclassmen in South Florida.  The 2021 receiver is just scratching the surface of what he can be.

Kevin Ross, WR, Miramar The 2020 former American Heritage receiver consistently got open in one on one drills often making easy catches in open space.

Corde St. Louis, CB, Cardinal Gibbons has great balance and is always in control.  Great ball skills and will only get better.

Robert Floyd, WR, Blanche Ely excellent body control and is able start and stop with precision and is able go get the ball when lofted in the air.

Football Hotbed also helps to develop quarterbacks in their Future 4 Camp Saturday.  Phillips QB Academy under the guidance of Drew Phillips works on mechanics, arm strength and footwork with the young gunslingers.

These quarterbacks had the strongest arms when were the most accurate today:

Brody Palhegyi, Cardinal Gibbons, Edwin Rhodes, American Heritage, Kemani Brown, Miami Northwestern, Virgil Marshall, Rockledge and Jaramaya Olivares, Jupiter.

Also performing well at camp today: Jake Harrington, WR, Cardinal Gibbons, Najeh Fisher, DB, Hialeah Miami Lakes, Travis Smith, LB, St. Lucie West Centennial, Joshua Benjamin, LB, Coral Springs, Eugene Louis-Jacques, LB, Cypress Bay, Lamah Jackson, TE, North Miami Beach and Ryan Zimmerman, DE, Pinecrest who was the best DL at the camp.

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. Fans and community members eagerly anticipate the final match, ready to support their team with unwavering enthusiasm.The historic Football Hotbed event for Junior Varsity teams is full-sanctioned by the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) who is enthusiastic about the events promise in years to come.  Homestead will play Miami Central in the championship held this coming week.   Jahmir McCall with the Portal 305 and Olin Cushion, III JV Championship Series Highlights: Check out this amazing pass and catch from @NMPioneer_FB junior varsity standouts 2027 QB CHAMMBRAYY CAMPBELL to WR MICHAEL CABRE #hotbedworld vid by @ChrisFodde @FHSAA pic.twitter.com/aFXfa8zLf6— Football Hotbed (@FootballHotbed) October 26, 2024 Photos: JV Championship Series @HSHBroncos and @NMPioneer_FB made history. #hotbedworld https://t.co/VWfp1x7Npw— Football Hotbed (@FootballHotbed) October 26, 2024 Arties Knight, head JV Football Coach, Homestead High
