Q: whats gone on with braddocks football team this year is it bad coaching or lack of talent? and what do u think they need to improveon for the next season?

Answered 01/27/10 13:19:48 by High School Sports Beat Writer

Q: what do you think about krop. And what do yo think about there two key wide outs #1 and #8. who has a better chance of going to a real good college and going pro.

Answered 01/27/10 13:17:52 by High School Sports Beat Writer

A: If you're referring to Lekam Hanna, I think he's got a lot of potential. A very explosive player on both sides of the ball. And if the other is DeAndre Hall, he's also got a good shot to sign with a respectable college.

Q: how do you feel about chaminade now that they have shut out the 3 time defending champs pahokee?do you think they could go to state?

Answered 01/27/10 13:15:45 by High School Sports Beat Writer

Q: how do you feel about miami edison what can they do to do better

Answered 01/27/10 13:14:53 by High School Sports Beat Writer

Q: do you believe that the Miami High boys basketball team could win 20 games and compete for a state title this year?

Answered 01/27/10 13:12:26 by High School Sports Beat Writer

A: They will likely come up short of 20 wins, but I wouldn't be surprised if they made it out of the district and into the regional playoffs. Krop and Carol City look awfully strong, however.

Q: what do you think of Belen Jesuit, would you rank them after beating nationally ranked Booker T?

Answered 01/27/10 12:56:05 by High School Sports Beat Writer

A: Belen had a tremendous season, and I think will be in contention again next year since their core of players were juniors.

Q: Did you see the end of the SR vesus SD game. That was classless. That is not how Spartans act when the lose. The fighting was bad enough, but the kicking of shoulder pads and throwing of helmets was ridiculous. I saw SR players pushing coaches in the face and just acting with no class. I played in 2 State semi-final games in the 80"s and those losses hurt but we would never shame our school, coaches and families the way they did on Friday. Sorry I needed to vent.

Answered 01/27/10 12:51:09 by High School Sports Beat Writer

A: Yes, it was a very regrettable scene.

Q: How do u think Everglades will do next year in football?, How many kids do they have coming back?

Answered 01/27/10 12:49:38 by High School Sports Beat Writer

A: I don't know exactly how many, but they were pretty young overall and their coaches do a great job keeping them competitive. I can see them winning the district again.

Q: How do you actually get into the chat? is there a link?

Answered 01/27/10 12:48:47 by High School Sports Beat Writer

A: Like this, you post questions and I answer them.

Q: Why wasn't Shinhoster picked for the Dade, Broward All Stars

Answered 01/27/10 12:26:26 by High School Sports Beat Writer

A: Not sure, the Herald doesn't select the rosters for that game. I made sure he got 2nd team All-Dade honors at least.

Q: Do you think Corey Lemonier will end up being a Cane? I think they could use him and he would be a great fit.

Answered 01/27/10 12:25:47 by High School Sports Beat Writer

A: I don't think so. He would be a good fit. But he's likely going out of state unless FSU gets him.

Q: Where is the list and pictures of the All Dade 1st and 2nd Team Players? Did it come out yet? If I missed it, how can I get a copy of it?

Q: Which QB will win the starting position at west broward high school ? Chris Leyva or Kevin Dematteo?

Answered 12/16/09 13:55:45 by High School Sports Beat Writer

Q: can you see da west beating booker t washington next year after what booker t did to them this year ..i like the T who do you like

Answered 12/16/09 13:52:22 by High School Sports Beat Writer

A: Booker T. loses a lot of their top kids. It depends on what kids they have coming back. Northwestern still has plenty of kids, and now with the Miami Springs WR Tommy Shuler transferring over there even more.

Q: last question, if varela wins tom. who wins the district next week

Answered 10/28/09 13:24:51 by High School Sports Beat Writer

A: Since the beginning of the year, I've believed Varela would rise up and win it. Ferguson is much better too, but I'm not changing my pick.

Answered 10/28/09 13:16:55 by High School Sports Beat Writer
