Answered 12/16/10 11:36:42 by High School Sports Beat Writer

Q: What do you think about southdade football next year ? with all there players leaving plus young ones ?

Answered 12/16/10 11:34:24 by High School Sports Beat Writer

A: I learned not to underestimate South Dade this season after they had some significant losses. They are still a very well-coached team that will get plenty of talent from the Homestead/South Dade area and should be a playoff contender barring any major staff changes.

Q: Why do the herald dont say anything about krop football? They got talent too.

Now, this year still we dont get the respect we deserve.
