Still Tight In Florida; Wolverines Win Big
It remains very tight in Florida's high school league after this week's action.
Key Biscayne got a bit of a surprise at Wellington. Cardinal Gibbons stepped into the fray. (We had Gibbons winning their opener but that was an error based on reporting from other sources—Okapi won that game 28-10). And Jacksonville returned to winning ways.

Tempe made it two wins this weekend with a 19-12 defeat of South Orange County, a Southern California team coming in for a visit.
Ashton Liddell was named the player of the game with Alani Maafu having a strong game in the forwards and Aki Pulu once again dangerous in the backs.
