Mater Academy is undefeated in their district, Hialeah Miami Lakes crushed their opponents and Monsignor Pace won with seconds left on the clock, while Barbara Goleman, Hialeah Gardens and Dade Christian weren’t so lucky last week in Miami-Dade high school football action.

Mater Academy is 3-0 in district games and the Lions showed just how dominate they can be with a 43-0 rout over rival Westland Hialeah.

Mater Academy blew them away at Traz Powell Stadium, where quarterback Temotha Herrington (a perfect nine-for-nine) threw three touchdown passes and back-up Zack Moss three for two additional scores.

Herrington finished the game with 143 passing yards with wide receiver Steven Rodriguez catching two scoring passes. Rodriguez grabbed five receptions for 104 yards.

Westland (0-7) was shut out for the sixth time in its seven losses.

The Lions overall record is 4-2 and face Miami Springs on October 24 and American on October 30 in two key district games.

Hialeah Miami Lakes crushed Alonso and Tracy Mourning, 36-0, with 276 yards on offense.

Trojans running back Simini Walden carried the ball seven times for 75 yards and two touchdowns, while HML’s defense kept the Sharks scoreless throughout the entire game.

The Trojans’ defense scored a touchdown with a fumble recovery that led 28 yards for the touchdown and got a safety.

Miami Springs stayed unbeaten with a 27-21 victory of Barbara Goleman in a District 16-7A showdown.

The Golden Hawks are 6-0, 3-0 is district play, and face American this week in a key district game.

Hialeah Gardens (2-4) allowed Ferguson to rush for 391 rushing yards, as they lost 47-14, leading District 15-8 with a 2-0 record.

The Falcons took a 33-0 lead at halftime and stopped a late rally, as Hialeah Gardens used the no-huddle offense and scored two touchdowns.

But the Falcons’ defense scored two touchdowns off turnovers to put the game away.

Falcons’ running backs Gianni McCrea and Anthony Moscoso rushed for 60 yards and 65 yards, respectively, in the first quarter.

Dade Christian was on the brink of a victory but Pace took the lead with 42 seconds left to beat the Crusaders 18-12.

Wide reciever Khalil Love hailed in a 31-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Eric Walker to seal the victory.

Crusader’s quarterback Malik Wisdom threw for 11 yards and ran for 92 yards.
