Farris of Cardinal Gibbons and Jean of Northwestern excel. Plus, Heritage volleyball and more

Isaiah Farris of the Cardinal Gibbons football team had a big game last week.

A senior, he is a 6-foot, 170-pound defensive back and kick returner. Someone to keep an eye on.

On the other side of the ball, Andy Jean was impressive for Miami Northwestern.

Jean, a junior, is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound receiver.

Each (noted below) helped lead their respective team to victory.

In volleyball, American Heritage (Plantation) won a close battle with Doral Academy. The Patriots won the first two games. Doral answered with two wins to force a winner-take-all, fifth and final game.
