So your saying we got a chance at the players you seen play today.Here's my report:
First, Beach High normally plays their home games in a very nice little football stadium at 11th Street and Alton on South Beach, adjoining Flamingo Park. However for some reason today's game was played on their practice field behind the school, about a mile north of the stadium. I never got an explanation why. There is a little set of bleachers at the practice field because they also use it for their soccer games, but I watched from the sidelines.
I had an unobstructed sideline view...of possibly the worst display of football I have ever seen in my whole entire life, going back to Pop Warner.
Miami Beach beat Miami Springs 15-2, I think. Not sure because the scoreboard was not turned on. Beach had two sloppy, happenstance TD's, a missed extra point, a failed 2-pt conversion and a safety. Springs got a safety after forcing a fumble, recovering it, fumbling the recovered ball when they were about to score, and falling on top of the Beach player who re-recovered the re-fumbled ball in the end zone.
At no point in that rambling, incoherent game were any of the players close to anything that could be considered scholarship material. I now know less about football for having watched it. Not one player on either team will ever play college football at any level. May God have mercy on their souls.
Just kidding again.
Must have been tough to sit through or stand through in your case.
