American Heritage And Trinity Christian Title Preview

     The American Heritage Stallions will challenge the Trinity Christian Conquerors in a FHSAA championship game rematch on Saturday at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. The Conquerors defeated the Stallions by 20 points last year for the Class 3A crown. American Heritage has won once in four confrontations with Trinity Christian in a state title matchup.
     American Heritage, who finished as a district runner-up this season, hosted and beat Clearwater Central Catholic 31-24 last week in a state semifinal. The Stallions got revenge the previous week when they went on the road and stopped district champion Oxbridge Academy 16-11 in a regional final.
     The Stallions bring a similar rushing attack as they did last year. Running back Devin Singletary is expected to get most of the carries from the backfield. Cornelius Smith, a transfer from Dwyer, can pick up several rushing attempts along with D.J. Davis and Alec Sinkfield. Cameron Smith became the new starting quarterback this season and looks to connect with wide receivers Keenan Duggan, Micah Leon and Matt Pica.
     Trinity Christian, who have captured two consecutive state titles, are undefeated this season as they head into this title game. They played their last two playoff games on the road and shut out Taylor County 51-0 in a regional final and topped Tampa Catholic 47-14 in a state semifinal last week.
     The Conquerors run a well-balanced offensive attack of running and passing. Quarterback Billy Cobb can set things up on offense. They have several options at running back which includes Rasheed Martin, Jalin Buie and DaeQuante Showers. Wide receivers D.J. Matthews, Damien McGhee, Brandon Robinson and J.C. Flowers will try to make receptions from Cobb.
