The race for the District 12-8A football title is heating up through the first month of the season.

Western remained unbeaten on Monday night by holding off Everglades for a 20-7 victory. Keshaun Clarke led the Wildcats with 20 carries for 138 yards and a touchdown, and quarterback Harrison Story threw a pair of touchdown passes.

The Wildcats (4-0) and Plantation, a team on the rise at 3-0, are at the top of the district along with perennial powerhouse Miramar (1-1). Plantation will take on Miramar this Monday night at 7 p.m. at the Patriots home field in a game that was postponed due to Hurricane Irma.
