Blanche Ely Tops Dillard In Soul Bowl

     The Blanche Ely Tigers defeated the Dillard Panthers 31-7 in the 2024 Soul Bowl at Otis Gray Jr. Memorial Stadium on Saturday night. The Tigers have won the last three Soul Bowls and now lead the Soul Bowl all-time series 29-26-1. 

     The annual Soul Bowl is usually the final regular season high school football contest played in Broward County. It will not be that case this year. 

     Blanche Ely(6-2) was able to lead 12-7 at the end of the first quarter. It would be the only time that Dillard(4-2) put up points. The Tigers increased it to 18-7 by the end of the first half. They added six points during the third quarter and seven points in the final quarter. 

     The Tigers travel to the Coconut Creek Cougars next week for a District 14-5A battle. The Panthers visit the Boynton Beach Tigers in a District 14-4A clash in five days.
