MIAMI Although the Florida High School Athletic Association allowed school athletics to begin on Monday, public school students in South Florida wont be able to compete.
Roland Smith Jr., Miami Central Senior High Schools head football coach in West Little River, is concerned that without competitive sports his students will suffer.
I can recall when I was in high school playing football at Miami Northwestern going home to those projects and my way out was trying to get an athletic scholarship and I earned that, Smith said.
The school districts that will allow school teams to compete later will play fewer games.
Demetrius Jackson, the head coach at American Senior High School in Hialeah said his team has one senior who has a scholarship offer and there are 13 others who dont.
