We took the hard way. We defeated Winning Strategy this morning, then lost in our second matchup against the Florida Fire which knocked us into the loser's bracket. We have done a great job of managing injuries thus far and our first game in the loser's bracket was against Cam Newton's All-Stars, NFL QB Cam Newton's team. Cam was talking a lot of trash to us on day one, wished us luck, but didn't think we'd make it far. Cam's team had South Carolina commits, but it was not a difficult matchup for us as we destroyed them 37-6 putting us in our SECOND matchup against Core 6 from Chicago (again, we have never lost to them in our existence) and we defeated them again this time the closest game we've had against them 24-20. The difficult part about the loser's bracket is all the games are back to back and there is no rest in between! Our guys did a great job and really sucked it up. We played a close game against Team Delaware, whom we defeated in Youngstown State earlier in April - they were led by a Boston College QB commit, but we came out on top by two scores.
We then played Florida Fire for the THIRD TIME! If we win we play South Florida Express (coached by former NFL defensive back Sam Madison, they were one of the two favorites to win the tournament... each player on their team has multiple offers from ACC and SEC schools). We defeated Florida Fire to put us in the semi-finals against South Florida Express, but this time we are going to probably play without our #1 WR Jordan Hogue. He is cramping big time.
Before the game, University of Kentucky WR coach came up and asked a lot about Jordan Hogue and got his contact information and wanted him to attend camp, this is great news. So we go into the game with South Florida Express without our top WR and they have the #1 WR in the country, a QB with 13 offers, another WR that has 13 offers and he's only a sophomore, and a defensive backfield that has been coached by a 12 year veteran in Sam Madison and also former NFL DB Patrick Surtain!
I'll make a post following these games because I have to catch a flight out of Tampa, which is an hour away, in order to get back to
