IT’S A BLUE AND GOLD THING

Down in south Florida, anyone who’s in the know will tell you that Miami Northwestern is not just a regional contender, or a statewide winner, but that it is the number one high school football team in the nation. Having only earned this prestigious title recently, Miami Northwestern’s Bulls have spent the last few years transforming themselves into something greater than just a winning team. And although the students will tell you that pride, determination, and perseverance is what got the team there, the players would say that it took blood and guts and a couple more touchdowns than the other team.

With a team history that dates back to the middle of the last century, it’s no surprise that many players who donned the blue and gold colors went on to be greats in the NFL. Miami Dolphins’ offensive lineman, Vernon Carey, Denver Broncos’ linebacker, Nate Webster, and Tampa Bay’s receiver, Tory Cox are just a few of the professional football players whose lineage traces back to their days as a Bull. And when you watch one of our games, you know that legends are being forged.

This season, when the team takes to the field, and the stands fill with screaming toddlers, high schoolers, parents, and alum, Miami Northwestern will be put to a test: defend our rank as the best team in the nation for another year. Whether this will prove to be an easy task, we can’t be sure, but like defensive tackle Todd Chandler says, “It’s hard work being a Bull, but it’s worth it.”
