University School’s football team will take to the national stage next season.
The
Suns found out this week they will open the schedule in Ohio against
Trotwood Madison High during the weekend of August 24-25.
The game
will be nationally televised on one of the ESPN networks – a first for
University School – and is part of the ESPN High School Kickoff Classic
Weekend.
University, a state runner-up in 2010 and regional finalist in
2011, has compiled a 24-2 record over that span. Madison went 15-0 last
season and won a state championship in Ohio’s Division II bracket.
Madison finished ranked No. 40 nationally by ESPNHS.
In addition to the out-of-state opener, the Suns have revamped their schedule.
Harriott
said University will also play at Cocoa (Class 4A state semifinalist
last season) Sept. 14, at Port St. Lucie Treasure Coast Sept. 21, at
Leesburg Oct. 12, and Fort Myers Dunbar (Class 4A regional finalist)
Nov. 9. The Suns will also host Miami Edison on Oct. 25, and
Jacksonville Eagles’ View (Class 2A reg. finalist) on Nov. 3.
With
several teams in District 8-3A opting to go independent, University’s
only district opponents will be Chaminade (Oct. 4), Miami Archbishop
Carroll (Sept. 7) and Miami Westminster Christian (Oct. 19).
“This
will be a major step for the development of our program because of the
kind of exposure it gives our school and our athletes,” University coach
Roger Harriott said. “I think putting a challenging schedule together
like this will help us tremendously so we are ready come playoff time to
compete for a state championship.”
