Titletown South Florida: Playoff round 2, a chance for payback or more of the same?
Miami Central vs. Miami Northwestern.
Miami Columbus vs. Miami Palmetto.
Pompano Beach Blanche Ely vs. Fort Lauderdale Dillard.
Titletown South Florida, the Miami Herald’s High School sports weekly show, dives in as the playoffs really begin to heat up with the renewal of those three great rivalries and more.
Miami Herald Deputy Sports Editor Andre Fernandez and Sportswriter David Wilson are back to break down the second round of the playoffs and look back at some of the best moments from the opening round including some memorable rushing performances.
Also in this week’s show:
▪ We look at Krop continuing its late-season surge as it edged Belen Jesuit in a thriller in Region 4-3M.
▪ We check in with Norland as it prepares for a rematch against a potentially-shorthanded Booker T. Washington squad which may be without its starting quarterback this Thursday.
▪ We speak to Northwestern coach Max Edwards, who was fired up last Saturday after his team beat Gulliver to earn a rematch with Central in the regional semifinals.
▪ How good is St. Thomas Aquinas quarterback Hezekiah “Champ” Harris and can he lead the Raiders to another state title?
▪ And we make our picks on some of the top games in the regional semifinal round as we move a step closer to the championships in Fort Lauderdale and Tallahassee next month.
