Regular Season Recap - 2012 Football

The 2012 football season has been a story of 2 teams for the Patriots. One team was a schizophrenic bunch of undisciplined players who struggled against teams who should have been no match for the Patriots. The other was a talented, precise machine that defeated some of the top teams in Broward County.

Following 3 consecutive District Championships, as well as the 2009 6A State Championship and an appearance in the 2011 8A State Championship game, the Patriots came into the season with one of the most complete résumés in the State. After losing 43 seniors off the 2011 team, this year’s version, rife with young talent, looked to continue to add to the legacy of Miramar Football.

The season has had its ups and downs. Tempering wins over St. Thomas Aquinas and rival Everglades were tough losses to teams who were heavy underdogs (Northeast and Boyd Anderson), a loss to the Nation’s #1 team that spiraled out of control (Brandenton Manatee) and a gut wrenching loss to our most hated rival (Cypress Bay).

Even with an up and down season that didn’t see consecutive wins or losses until the last 3 weeks of the year, the Patriots managed to earn a 6^th consecutive playoff berth, this time as District Runner-up. The Road back to Orlando starts with a trip to play South Plantation (more on this game to come).
