The second annual Miami Dolphins Dade vs. Broward All-Star Football Game presented by Under Armourand hosted by the Greater Miami Athletic Conference (GMAC) and the Broward County Athletic Association (BCAA) was a shootout at Sun Life Stadium with Dade taking home the prestigious Superintendent’s Cup with a 46-36 victory.
The offensive MVP of the game was quarterback Garrett Fortner of Columbus High School, while the defensive MVP was strong safety Stephen Meighan of Southwest High School. Both players represented the Dade County team.
Proceeds from the game were distributed between both counties to help support the funding of their football athletic programs. Current Miami Dolphins players Vernon Carey (Dade) and Will Allen (Broward) served as the honorary captains for the game. The United States Air Force was also a supporting sponsor of the game and also presented colors during pregame of the All-Star contest.
“This game was about two things, helping athletes showcase their talents to have an opportunity to get to college and raise dollars for the BCAA and the GMAC to ensure schools have the resources they need to compete equally, “ said Twan Russell, Director of Youth Programs for the Miami Dolphins. “Proceeds benefited the counties directly which is a great boost for the community and in line with the organization’s efforts to make a positive impact with youth programs in South Florida.”
Fans also had the opportunity to meet and receive autographs from Miami Dolphins alumni, players and cheerleaders before kickoff. Prior to the game, the Miami Dolphins also hosted a Drills and Skills Competition, where spectators registered to compete for the opportunity to win a $1,000 shopping spree with Under Armour.
