8th in FL's largest class? Will be a challenge for sure.

[BigBlue05]

Central must not be in the largest class....pretty impressive they blasted CC.

USA Today has 3 Florida teams in the National Top 25. None are from 8A. The Miami Central team is #7 that beat Christopher Columbus 42-14. Booker T Washington from Miami is #4.

This one will be one to watch for sure. Im going to take highlands in a squeaker, 14 to 92....see what I did there?

[mexitucky]

Central is good. GCL schools have hung w South Florida powers since they have come up here to play. Really stretching it to compare scores...Highlands 42 CC 31

[Jumper_Dad]

Max Preps ranks HHS higher than CC around 140 Nationally to 188 Nationally or something close to that.

For anyone intending on coming to the game, I would ask you to come a little early and stop by the booth in front of the Methodist Church and purchase a hot dog and a beverage to help support the scholarship fund for the class of 1983. Birdsfan was one of the original members of the class to suggest doing this as a way of honoring those in the class that had passed away. Now the class will be honoring him in addition to others. Come out and support a great cause.

Does anybody have stats on Columbus? Roster size? Platoon?

[AllenR]

At least this year there won't be a heat/humidity issue for the game.

What can anyone tell us about Columbus (FL)?

 

Is this team a serious thread to beat Highlands?

 

Who will win?

This will be a great game, no doubt about it.

 

Highlands will have their hands full.

 

CC has 155 players on their roster, but who knows how many they will bring. They have a national ranking of 291 and a state(FL) ranking of 18. This is the coach's 2nd year as head coach.

 

This is their recent record:

 

2013 7-5-0

12 9-5-0

11 12-2-0

10 11-1-0

09 9-2-0

08 8-1-0

07 11-1-0

06 8-4-0

05 9-1-0

04 7-3-0

 

Maxpreps will have live scoring updates for this game at game time. Go to the live scoring page.

 

I also ran across a message board saying that a school the size of Highlands can't compete with CC. (Must have been a FL. message board.)
