The Piper Bengals will head out to challenge the Miramar Patriots at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Piper has three straight wins, Miramar has three straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
If Piper beats Miramar with 20 points on Tuesday, it's going to be the squad's new lucky number: they've won their past two matches with that exact score. The Bengals strolled past Plantation with points to spare on Thursday, taking the game 20-6. The final result isn't all the surprising considering the Bengals' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 84th, while the Colonels are ranked 229th).
Meanwhile, Miramar fought the good fight in their overtime game against Taravella on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 12-6 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Trojans. While the Patriots didn't get the win, they did start the game off strong, beating the Trojans 6-0 in the first quarter.
Piper pushed their record up to 10-3 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 6.0 points on average over those games. As for Miramar, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-8.
Everything came up roses for Piper against Miramar in their previous meeting back in March of 2024, as the team secured a 40-12 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bengals since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
