Cardinal Gibbons at Miami Northwestern Preview

     The Cardinal Gibbons Redskins visit the Miami Northwestern Bulls at Traz Powell Stadium on Friday night. It will be a battle between two defending FHSAA state championships. 
     Cardinal Gibbons is the defending Class 5A champion as they won their first state football title in school history. They have moved down to the Class 4A classification for the upcoming season. 
     The Redskins will be led on offense by quarterback Brody Palhegyi. He filled in for an injured Nik Scalzo during the season and was the starting quarterback for the team in the championship game against North Marion at Camping World Stadium. Cardinal Gibbons is currently on a 13-game winning streak, despite losing to Deerfield Beach 14-0 in a two-quarter preseason contest.
     Miami Northwestern have won back-to-back FHSAA Class 6A state titles over Armwood and matched their string of consecutive championships in 2006 and 2007. They are no longer in the same tough district with Miami Central and Carol City because they have moved to Class 5A.
     The Bulls made their annual trip to Palm Beach County last week and pounded Palm Beach Central 36-6 in a preseason kickoff classic. They have dependable quarterbacks Kamani Brown and Taron Dickens to throw the ball. Wide receivers Kahill Brantley and Marcus Fleming can make receptions for Miami Northwestern downfield.
