This is just in from the Nike website on the Nike 7 On football tournament, where Lakewood and Serra are competing against some of the nation's high-profile teams.....
It's an old football cliche --there's fast, and then there is Florida Fast. And Miami Northwestern, or as they are known in this Nike 7on tournament, the Vapor Trail, are proving it true.
Miami cruised to three straight wins in the opening games of the tournament, behind the accurate arm of their future star QB and a host of blazingly fast receivers. The Land Sharks (Serra) from Gardena, CA bounced back from their opening loss to Vapor Trail to capture the next two games. Dallas Skyline High, playing as Zoom Fly, are still looking for its first win. All the games were intense, with the kids giving every ounce and leaving nothing, and the coaches in midseason form, working on their players' techniques, devising plays to get receivers open, and reminiding everyone that sportsmanship is paramount.
Here are the standings in the Speed Division after the opening round of action:
Vapor Trail (Miami) 3-0
Land Sharks (Gardena, CA) 2-1
Zoom Blade (Duncan, SC) 1-2
Zoom Fly (Dallas) 0-3
All the teams will be in action again on Friday, as the championship bracket is played out. We'll hit you with the roundup of the afternoon action (Lakewood) later on.
