We're only in week two of football season, but high school fans are talking about the game of the year out of Miami-Dade county. In a battle of number one ranked teams, the Miami Central Rockets square off against the Booker T. Washington Tornadoes at Traz Powell Stadium in Miami.
It's a match up where an unstoppable force meets and immovable object; something just has to give.
The Rockets, who have won two state titles in the past three seasons hold the top spot in Rivals.com national football rankings. They feature one of the best running back tandems in the nation in Joseph Yearby (Miami commit) and Dalvin Cook (Florida commit).
Central has not lost to a team in Miami-Dade since 2008, and they defeated Booker T. 37-26 in last season's week two game at Sun Life Stadium.
The Tornadoes, fresh off their own state title win, hold the top spot in USA Today's Super 25 rankings. Booker T. flexed its muscle with a 55-0 on ESPN over then No. 6 ranked Norcross High in Georgia. The Tornadoes already have three defensive players committed to the University of Miami, led by star Defensive End Chad Thomas. On offense, Booker T. is led by quarterback Treon Harris (FSU commit) who went 23 for 27 with 287 yards and five touchdowns against Norcross.
Besides neighborhood bragging rights, the winner of this is game will have the chance to claim the mythical national title. The last South Florida team to claim the feat was Fort Lauderdale-St. Thomas Aquinas in 2010.
The game begins at 7:30 p.m. and is expected to sell out the 7,500 stadium on Miami-Dade College's North Campus.
