WELLINGTON — Cardinal Newman junior wide receiver Naeshaun Montgomery had an 88-yard touchdown catch and 81-yard punt return for a score during the first half as the visiting Crusaders made a statement with a 28-7 victory against Palm Beach Central on Friday night.
Montgomery, a four-star recruit, has emerged as one of the top receivers in the country in his class.
“Big-time players make big-time plays,” Montgomery said. “I was ready for this game since the beginning of the year so I knew I needed to show out for my teammates. We had to come into this game and dominate.”

St. Thomas Aquinas coach Roger Harriott was soft-spoken at the Broward County Athletic Association’s media day. He wasn’t jittery, antsy or oozing with energy like so many other high school football coaches.
For the head of a program that’s won four consecutive state championships and 27 straight games, it’s a bit surprising. Instead, it’s a calm confidence. A trust in his own abilities and the talent of his players and coaching staff to stay on top of the Class 3M mountaintop.
And just like in years past, Aquinas returns loads of talented players.
Harriott listed almost every single starter...
Last year’s 4M state semifinal still stings the Palm Beach Central football team.
The Broncos led visiting Apopka by 15 points in the second half before crumbling to a 27-24 defeat.
That hunger for revenge has carried over into training camp as Palm Beach Central still eyes its first trip to the state final. However, they will have to do it without Ahmad Haston, their stud quarterback and the Sun Sentinel’s 2022 Palm Beach County 4M-3M offensive player of the year. He graduated and is now playing at Massachusetts.
As of Monday, coach Kevin Thompson said there’s a three-man race among junior...
