3A TITLE DEFENSE: Can Chaminade-Madonna Make It 4 Straight State Titles This Season? The Talent Is There On Both Sides
Behind the running of senior and University of Miami-bound Thaddius Franklin, the Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna Lions are looking for a 4th consecutive 3A state championship this coming season.
<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-36456" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/07/OntheSideline-Logo-3-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="188" />As a youth football player, you dream of one day making it to the state championship game as a high school athlete.
In those dreams, you put yourself in a position to throw a winning touchdown, make that decisive catch or come up with that important sack that gives your team that advantage.
For many, reaching a state championship game never comes, so you can understand what is happening at Chaminade-Madonna is not the norm.
When head coach <strong>Dameon Jones</strong> and his team beat Tallahassee’s Florida High last December, it was the third consecutive state title for this team – and the fourth straight state championship finals the Lions advanced to.
This program is a dynasty among 3A schools, and while there are many challengers standing in the way in 2020, this program is loaded with big time talent and difference makers.
From a trio of University of Miami commits in running back <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32643" first="Thaddius" last="Franklin"]</strong> to defensive lineman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32895" first="Allan" last="Haye"]</strong> to All-American kicker <strong>Andy Borregales</strong>, the shelves are fully stocked as this program continues to churn out major college prospects.
Unlike many smaller schools, the Lions run from nobody. They continue to play a challenging schedule that gets them ready for the big stage.
With a mix of veterans and new faces, 2020 could be the year that they extend their magic to four in-a-row. Something straight out of <em>“Holywood”!</em>
