There’s upsets and then there’s just absolute stunners and Friday’s victory by Archbishop McCarthy (Fla.) over Plantation American Heritage sits in the latter department of the two.
The Mavericks (6-2), ranked the No. 85 team in the state of Florida, according to the Massey Ratings, up against the No. 9 Patriots, came away with a stunning 13-10 victory.
American Heritage was coming off a 42-21 victory over Miami Norland and were winners of their last three games since a Sep. 19 loss to Miami Central.
For the Patriots (4-4), this is just another blow to what looks to be dimming their hopes to repeat as Class 4A state champions just a little more.
American Heritage will have no time to wallow in the loss as they must prepare to turn things around for next week’s meeting against nationally ranked St. Thomas Aquinas.
