And Miami High started drawing some of its most famous alums last week such as Andre Johnson watched the Stings advance to this round for the first time since 1992.

To get it done, Miami High will have to take its furthest trip of the playoffs so far and face an Atlantic team that has already eliminated two Broward teams – Plantation and Western.
The Eagles’ defense has been solid, allowing 14 points or less throughout the season until they gave up a couple of late scores to Western last week.
But have they matched up against the overall team speed they will encounter when Miami High steps on the field this Friday?
This is a talented confident bunch leading the Stingarees, but they must get off to a good start and minimize errors in order to move closer to history.
Andre’s pick: Miami High 20, Atlantic 14.
