The Inaugural Miami Dolphins Dade vs. Broward All-Star Football Game presented by Under Armour and hosted by the Greater Miami Athletic Conference (GMAC) and the Broward County Athletic Association (BCAA) will be held at Traz Powell Stadium located at 11380 NW 27th Ave in Miami, FL 33167 on Friday, January 14th at 7:00pm. The game will feature stand-out student athletes from Miami-Dade and Broward counties. All proceeds from the game will be distributed between both counties to help support the funding of their athletic programs. Admission to the game will be $10. Advanced ticket sales are not available. The game is endorsed by the Broward and Dade County School Boards, as well as the Miami Dolphins.
“This game is 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. “One hundred percent of the dollars will benefit 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.”
Coach Mark Guandolo of Cypress Bay High School will coach the Broward All-Star Team and Coach Daryle Heidelburg of Miami Norland Senior High School will lead the Dade All-Star Team. The coaches and athletes selected to participate in the game were selected by GMAC staff, BCAA staff, along with high school coaches and members of the media from both counties.
Under Armour is the inaugural title sponsor of the Dade vs. Broward All- Star Game and will supply both teams with uniforms for the game.
“Under Armour’s commitment to high school football is an integral part of our mission, said Leon Duncan, Under Armour’s director of Retail Media. “South Florida is one of the most important football environments in the United States. We want to do our part to make sure athletes have the ability to compete and they have the resources needed to do so at a high level.”
The counties will battle for the bragging rights for a year and the coveted county championship trophy. The annual game will alternate between the host locations of Traz Powell Stadium in Dade County and Lockhart Stadium Broward County.
“This game is an extension of the commitment we have to our student athletes, giving them opportunities to showcase their talents to colleges,” said Damian Huttenhoff, Director of Activities and Athletics for the BCAA. “We pride ourselves in helping all athletes reach their maximum potential.”
“We are excited about making this an annual event,” added Cheryl A. Golden, Instructional Supervisor for the GMAC. “We feel anytime you can positively impact our communities by raising dollars for sports and giving kids opportunities to better themselves is the right thing to do.”
Both teams began practice on Wednesday, January 5th.
