QUICK HITS – Talented Dr. Michael Krop Hoping That Lightning Strikes Twice

This past season was one that saw Dr. Michael Krop's football team turn the corner.

While the Coronavirus is dictating high school football, across the country, we can understand the need for ongoing exposure.

Because we promote high school football in south Florida year round, there is no need to stop right now.

In the coming weeks, we will have a brief look at the school in south Florida in a segment that we call “QUICK HITS”.

Today, our “QUICK HITS” heads south into Miami-Dade County to visit Dr. Michael Krop to check in on this emerging program.

SUMMARY: Ever since taking over the football program at Dr. Krop, head coach Tom Caporale used his experience as a college coach to build a solid foundation, and part of the that process was to get enough interest back into this once impressive program.

By playing a GMAC Independent schedule in 2019, it gave this team a chance to gain some traction, and after beating Hialeah Barbara Goleman for the title, they had done just that – attracting more players to come out for the team and keeping several key prospects from transferring out.

The 2021 season will once again uncover come impressive talent to further build upon.
