2009 11:51 EDT Jozy Altidore finally made it to the English Premier League after a series of delays, and the wait was worth it for this 19-year-old U.S. forward.

But for the Pine Crest boys' soccer team, that sense of finality is all the more acute. http://www.miamiherald.com/1439/story/910968.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1439/story/910968.html Thu, 19 Feb 2009 07:56 EST For Varela, the difference between a third consecutive appearance in the state final and a disappointing trip home was a steady wind, a round piece of metal and 18 seconds. http://www.miamiherald.com/1439/story/900209.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1439/story/900209.html Thu, 19 Feb 2009 07:48 EST The Miami Springs girls' soccer team gave a new meaning to a two-minute warning Wednesday. Someone should have warned Springs about the first two minutes. http://www.miamiherald.com/1439/story/903851.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1439/story/903851.html Thu, 19 Feb 2009 07:51 EST It was hot.
