Titletown South Florida: Football rivals wrap up spring, plus perfection at Douglas

Miami Northwestern and Miami Central’s longstanding football rivalry is one of the best in the country.

While the two South Florida powerhouses won’t square off until this fall, they were on the same field this past Saturday for their spring intrasquad scrimmages at Traz Powell Stadium.

How did the Bulls look under first-year coach and alum Michaelee Harris? And how much have the Rockets reloaded for a run at five state titles in a row?
