Doral Firebirds Early Season ... not so good.

Coral Shores High School's Homecoming will be coming two weeks late.
All weekend activities - the Friday parade of floats and the Hurricane football game - were canceled at midday Thursday.
Doral Academy, the opponent for Friday's game in Tavernier, called an early end to its football season and forfeited the game.
”I've never heard of this happening in football,“ said Coral Shores Athletic Director Rich Russell, who played for the Hurricanes three decades ago. ”This is a first.“
Doral, a second-year charter school in western Miami-Dade County, reportedly saw its season-opening roster of 45 players shrink to 14 after last week's 63-0 loss to Archbishop Carroll.
Some of Doral's Firebirds may have been injured. Others were likely frustrated with the team's football futility.
Marathon High School's Dolphins ran back the season-opening kickoff for a touchdown against Doral on the way to a 70-0 win.
The pummeling never relented for the Firebirds, who were outscored 299-0 through six games - and had three of the toughest teams on the schedule still to come.

It goes on, but never gets better looking for the poor poor Firebirds.

I remember 4 or 5 years back when Fort Worth's North Side High School was forced to cancel their season mid way through it because they had to expell 3/4ths of their varsity team for skipping class to attend their QB's bachelor party on a friday afternoon.

Balch Springs Christian Academy had to cancel several games a few years ago due to so many injuries.

I think it happens fairly often in 6-man, but last week Megargel had to suit up two girls to have enough for a team. They barely had enough in the first place, but then lost a few to grades.

Throckmorton beat Megargel 94-0...and it was called at halftime. Throckmorton is the #1 ranked six man team in the country. Throckmorton only ran 8 offensive plays in the first half, all went for TDs.
