The Coral Springs Charter Panthers will challenge the Pembroke Pines Charter Jaguars at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 51-7, which was the final score in Coral Springs Charter's tilt against NSU University on Thursday. While losing is never fun, the Panthers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 481st, while the Sharks are ranked 213th).
Meanwhile, Pembroke Pines Charter took care of business in their home opener on Thursday (and then some). They claimed a resounding 41-13 win over Northeast at home.
Pembroke Pines Charter had a senior duo take command as Keidran Willis Jr gained 101 total yards and three touchdowns and Jayden Gonzalez threw for 228 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 passes. Brandon Clement did his part to keep the secondary busy, picking up 85 receiving yards.
Pembroke Pines Charter wouldn't let Northeast keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Pembroke Pines Charter can thank Noah Escobar and Dylan Echeverria for forcing both of them. Dalai Garland was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, making seven total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defending a pass.
Coral Springs Charter couldn't quite finish off Pembroke Pines Charter in their previous matchup back in August of 2023 and fell 24-22. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Willis Jr, who picked up 121 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 112 yards on only 12 carries. Now that Coral Springs Charter knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
