Continue ReadingWhen the latest Prep Redzone Florida state football rankings came out, there was a program that continues to show that 2022 was certainly no fluke.
After a first ever state football appearance, the Homestead Broncos came back this spring and made a commitment that the one year – a 3M finals loss to national powerhouse Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas – would not be the last of the Broncos.
Even with the loss of some key seniors and a head coach, this program remained optimistic that they would very much be in the mix once again.
As head coach Ronnie Thornton and his staff remained together, there was reason to believe that this program would once again be back in the mix.
While most across the state looked at St. Thomas Aquinas, Orlando Edgewater and several other 3M programs, Homestead was once again put on the back burner.
An early season 13-12 loss to 4M Miami Palmetto was something that became a reason to feel that this team didn’t have enough to make another run. Wrong!
After last Saturday’s convincing 32-16 win over 4M favorite and defending state champion Miami Christopher Columbus, the focus now shifted back this program.
Even in a season that saw this team have two games called off, the optimism still remains.
