IMG vs Miami Central | Florida Public vs Private School Powers Clash at IMG |  

“They get to play football we HAVE to play football”……..coach’s speech at the end was right on the money and explained this game perfectly

All these people making comments about IMG being overrated and losing to a public school is baffling.... Miami Central has always had a great football team and always been ranked! That’s a great football program over there... instead of discrediting IMG, give credit to Miami Central players and coaching staff!

Go Central Rockets!! A public school getting it done against a team assembled with nothing but D1 recruits. That defense for Central is legit!

Any day IMG loses to a public school is a good day

They beat IMG in the dirt... They were more physical kids never stopped playing big congrats to M. Central.... 💪🏽 🔥 🔥

Respect to those high schools who keeps scheduling to play against the best. Your game is only elevated. Football is meant to be competitive. CENTRAL congrats on beating an elite team with no complaints on who they got. Love from cali 🤙🏽

Miami central did their thing! Great coaching and discipline. Their defensive front balled out.

I felt the kids and coach's from Central's spirit and tenacity from their sidelines to how they played on the field. They played hard. they had more desire and more heart than them dudes from IMG. They played a helluva game and shoutout to #4 for Central DLine. IMG gotta couple of 4/5* on the OL but dude was dominant.

“They get to play football .. We have to play football” that in itself shows the heart n passion in a team

Central definitely got more size up front compared to the last couple seasons. Which is what they needed.

"They get to play football, we have to play football.... it's a game to them, it's life for us" - Head Coach of Miami Central

#4 on central honestly the main reason they won he had pressure on the qb most of the game didn’t let the whole set his feet not to mention he had most of the sacks that’s a real defensive end

Love the post game message from the coach for Miami central at the end

IMG must’ve thought they were going up against Bishop Sycamore agin 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

Central looked like they wanted to keep playing, while IMG looked like they were draining. So hyped!!!

Like I said “IMG IS OVERRATED” they good until they play a REAL Florida team

My son ran aau track in Orlando and in Miami they have entire pop warner teams running track. Speed kills, but the biggest aspect of it all is the parents support it!

Man I love the way Miami Central play with pride for the community and High school program year in year out!! Salute and respect 💪🏾 from Da A

Glad they showed celebration ....and that coaches speech ....sums it up

DL #4 for Miami Central is a beast!

As a rocket alumni this win is just another win to our collection . We’ve been doing this VS nationally ranked schools , Saint Thomas Aquinas , Hover high school, American heritage , bishop Gorman ect . They finally got IMG !!! The tradition continues !!!!🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Miami Central was already one of the best teams in the country although it took them to win this game to get recognized for it 💯

I LOVE THE HEART of Miami inner city football!!! GREAT GAME! Good luck rest of the year!!

That was all Will, Want to, and determination. Gives the impression that Central was playing for something larger than themselves. Great job.

Rockets are sound tacklers. Some of the best consistent open field tackles I’ve seen in high school.

Tremendous preparation by coaching staff! Kids would have ran through a wall to win that game.

Unreal game. Sick talent on both sides. No. 4 for Miami Central will be playing Saturdays on TV.

Tougher team wanted it more! Great coaching!

Man I'm over here screaming and cheering.. I played public school ball we always had a battle with the private school in our city.. big win happy for them man.. congrats boys.. that's a huge win. That last call when they called that nasty throw and called it back was a home team call...

Congrats to central these young men showed that central is to be recognized this year and this is coming from California a mater dei fan

Man them Miami Boys can hit bro, dam I love Miami Football.

S/O #4 n #21 !!! Straight eating 🍽🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀”They get to play football, WE HAVE TO PLAY FOOTBALL”

This was one helluva great game! Love those Central Rockets! IMG may have the "talent," but it sure didn't look like it. Central's quarterback and DB's were on FIRE. The Rockets' DL put it all together by the end of the second quarter. Now they get to take on Dade County schools. What a season we're going to have!

Hats off to the Miami Central young men. IMG is not overrated, is this one of the top IMG squads no but every IMG team has more D1 talent than any public school so that don't matter. Central had enough dogs to not back down and you know what happens when the bully gets hit in the mouth. IMG is the same IMG, they have no schemes or game plan, run basic plays and out physical and out athlete you. But they ran into a team that met force with force and lost. Great job Miami Central!

Also, thank you to all these coaches for scheduling the toughest teams for their kids…..great for the kids and great for us fans

IMG buys players to come play for their school Miami Central has homegrown local talent that actually lives within the school zone. Great job rockets 🚀

real florida boyz for the dub

Congrats to Miami Central, I was rooting for them being I went to a public school and its 100% you play with whoever zoned... aka play with what you got.

I just know that bud ride home was legendary! 😤😮‍💨

here class of 85, I'm very envy of this team so badly cuz the coach Rudy Barber went to Carol City Cheifs 😒 that my senior year our team went 1-9. so this team since 12 seasons went 8 State Championship!!!!! I'm very proud to be freaking Rockets for life! let's go and get 2 more trophies so that makes perfection 10! keep on rolling all dudes monsters greens!!! BAM bam bam bam

All these years IMG has "dominated" high school football, you barely hear their players mentioned on Saturdays..🤔

Nice to see a public school win against img ..good win for central..they don't recruit like mater, Bosco ,etc..

I used to coach and that Coach killed that speech I got chills… When I coach again I’m using it..

Miami central defense went Alcatraz mode in the 4th. Great game from both teams

Proud of Central on this one 👏 . QB looks spectacular, best QB I've seen in a while from Dade.

Congratulations to Miami Central. I had a feeling sooner or later IMG would lose a game. They don't play constant sometimes

Much respect for dem boys! Sheesh i could feel them like I was on the sidelines.

Miami Central is legit! I like this team a lot they showed out! showing support from MA

Weakest IMG team I’ve seen in a min 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️ Good win Central

Remember coach said never Underestimate the power of another team. I remember my 1st season playing tackle and our 1st game was against Portage and half of my teammates we're talking trash said the other team so bad they only won 1 game last, GameDay comes and we got shutout. That season our record was 2-6.

They're gonna mess around and make a movie about this 😂

Gotta love Dade County football

this reminds me of that tay rock line vs Charlie clips part2, "who's the legend, beatin' me is what made you legendary" 🤣 this game made me smile frfr

Way to go Rockets. Way to represent the 305. Representing real Miami football. Home grown talent.

Big credit to Miami central coaching staff and players good game 💯

Yessir life is different for those Miami boys

IMG- great facilities and training but average in game coaches. I’ve always felt this way. I’d rather play for a school with real tradition like Miami Central than a transfer factory.

A Inner City traditional public high school beating a prep school it has been a long time coming

“ Tell my daughter hi “ 😂😂😂

Rocket football team prove tonight that, knowing is not important then believing. In spite of all the odds teamwork and faith in one another what's the key. ✊🙏♥️

Miami always got Dawgs - great defensive plays

That speech at the end man... 💯

JSU is America's Team

Aye you did this with that edit no cap

“Down goes Frazier” 😳

Miami Central kids played their hearts out...

Great win for the Program! Congratulations 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Day Defense is a 🤬👹! State 🏆 CHAMPs!

Another Classic!! Let's go ROCKETS

Central D line out in work

Congratulations Central from the STL. Two years in a row someone beat the brakes off of INComplete Academy.🎉🎉

I am not surprised………. Out the mud!!!!

What a great game played by Miami Central. They punched that college team in the mouth and didn't stop playing with their heart. Congrats to the Coach and players for a great win. Excited to follow them this season.

I remember last year when Central played Bosco, this just confirms how good Mater Dei and Bosco. That’s why they’re always #1 and #2 it makes sense.

IM SO HAPPY CENTRAL GOT THE WIN !

Defense!...lit that match! Everybody was lit at the game... so nice to see!

these boyz from Central were some Sticks.. they hit hard every play... that wins games...

Not taking anything away from Central…They brought that 🔥🔥! But in all honesty we’re used to seeing IMG play better than that.

Good for them…. They’ve taken their lumps over the years and overcome!!!!

“It’s a game to them it’s life to us”

I’ve seen Central play at least 12 games since 07. They have always had balance offensively and defensively. A lot of teams in high school usually have a great run game but no passing game, or great running game and love too pass. But these guys always have both. Also defensively they are always so fast to the ball. Great public school program which is the best imo

im about 3/4 of the way through the video (i already know the outcome, i was checking with my bro after my own game on Friday) and one thing i've noticed is that one group of guys were playing like they were the best one on that field. They played like they should win. Like losing was the worst feeling in the world for that player. The other team played like they could not lose. They played like they had to win. They had to win because they had gone through too much to let each other down. Too much to let the coaches down. To me it seemed the IMG players might have been more explosive, but the Miami team was playing with more heart; playing for each other and that's why they won. Not because of their skill, or size, thats simply what allowed them to actually be able to compete with IMG . But their Heart and love for each other is what pushed them to victory. At least that's my take.

11:18 lol he dropped the ball before crossing the goal line

Dade county this is a big punch in the mouth for all public skools to stop making powerhouse skools n takin the fun out of high skool sports let the kids be kids

Proud of those boys. Stay laser focused. Stay out of trouble and you will set yourself up to be great.

Y’all know central has more state titles then anyone since 2010 more NFL players then IMG you guys IMG y’all trippin central one of the best schools from Florida year after year

I love seeing IMG lose to home grown teams and players…..#4 for central is a MONSTER he man handled IMGs line all night

I’m from Jacksonville. Raines Vikings all day but shoutout to 95th street I love yall.

Congratulations Miami Central. Too many small minded people in these comments and their preconceived notions about IMG kids because they chose a better opportunity to make their dreams a reality but you do you...NEXT GAME

Great win by a great team 👏🏿 #hoodbabies

Facts Great Game for Both Miami Central great coaching and great discipline young Men I wish them all a great future, However IMG has powerhouse commits and they play the hardest schedule out there nothing to hold their head down their QB who is a threat got injured it happens the Better Team Won congratulations Miami Central but Black folks and coaching staff please stop the Poor Black Rich Black, I have family and friends who live in Miami 305 that work their ass off to send their Son and Daughter to IMG and they are not rich or on scholarship, they are sacrificing for their child like all of us, some Black at IMG are busting their butts to make sure their Son or daughter get a opportunity that they could not get, their are kids from Maryland to DC to Alabama that are not rich but have a whole community chipping in to support the dream, Black People stop the Class division, the gettho is a temporary passage not a badge of honor to throw in everyones face, the Goal is to get out not celebrate being put in a position to not succeed, Gods Word "Work by the Sweat of your Brow" Never settle or teach our children to be content with the conditions they did not ask to be put in, everyone has a story... The coach lost me with the "they get to play football and we have to play football" victim mentality 1. you don't have to play football you can use your mind and go to any college..2. Don't speak for kids at IMG like they are Rich black kids playing poor kids a lot of these Boys know and live in Florida their entire life..3. Never start separating young Blackmen against each other to think one is better than the other Blackmen are treated the same in the eyes of most ask law enforcement, 3. if you know your history there was Never a Rich Slave Boat and a Poor slave Boat.... Gods children are from all walks in life Go IMG!! Go Miami Central!!! Go Young gifted Blackmen!!! Go young and Old Coaches!!! Go All Positive People!!!

Those coaches seem cool. I lol'ed when one of 'em started dancing with the cheerleaders.

Hate to say it , but it's always good to see IMG and their hired assassins go down to a team.

State champs !!! 305

IMG don’t look the same

South Florida football is a whole different breed!!!

I BELIEVE ❤️

They Won This For The Hood 😂😂

I called it , good job central. To beat the best you got to beat the best. That Dillard Vs central game gone be insane 🔥🔥🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

Soooooo happy for these kids! Glad they finally got over the hump! And don't sleep, Central has a HELL OF A COACHING STAFF!

Coach Chop is the realist coach still doing it. 💯 Great game Rockets 🚀. Took out Debo.. 🤜🏾💤💤
