Chaminade-Madonna reloads for another title run

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Head Coach Dameon Jones has built a dynasty in Hollywood (Fla.). Chaminade-Madonna will be aiming to win a tenth state title, with seven coming under Jones since 2017. The Lions came up just short last season, losing in the state title game to Cardinal Newman (Fla.). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There has been much turnover since last year, as many players have opted to transfer out of the program, but the program has built a solid foundation over the years and continues to contend for state and national championships. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are the key players who should help Chaminade maintain its greatness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Five Key Players to Success</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1870916"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a11a85f156b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The transfer from Lely High School will be a key reason the Lions return to the state title game in 2026. Quinn has a nice feel for the pocket and can buy time with his scrambling ability and make accurate throws on the run. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He throws on-target footballs without his feet set, and also has a good sense of when to tuck it and run. Quinn could be a special quarterback on the next level because he has the ability to make every throw and has the intangibles to extend drives and make plays off script.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clemson, Florida State, Indiana, Miami, Oklahoma, and SMU are his top six schools in his recruitment, with the Mustangs standing out as a potential leader. Quinn has plans to visit Clemson and Oklahoma for likely multi-day visits. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19487425/68b58f396671c4f59536c7b9</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Peter Pierre","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"220","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Chaminade-Madonna","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a11a85f15783"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The highly talented athlete moves well with the football and does a good job of locating the football in the air to position himself for receptions.
