Oxbridge Academy Ends Football Program

     Oxbridge Academy has eliminated their high school football program. The Thunderwolves made it to the FHSAA Class 3A state title game in 2017 and lost to the Chaminade-Madonna Lions. Several players had already transferred to different Palm Beach County schools for the upcoming 2018 season.
     Oxbridge Academy had an impact locally in their short time with high school football. They began in 2013 as an independent and played in the Southeastern Conference. They became a part of the FHSAA and won three district titles in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
     The Thunderwolves were eliminated at home by district rival American Heritage in the regional final on a last minute play in 2015. They made it to the regional final in 2016 and lost on the road to Chaminade-Madonna. The school got to the playoffs in 2017 as they topped Kings Academy, Melbourne Catholic Central and Florida State University before falling to Chaminade-Madonna for the state title in Orlando. University of Miami running back Travis Homer and Ole Miss defensive back Keidron Smith once played for Oxbridge Academy.
