Once again the Eagles will do battle with several teams well above their FHSAA Classification and will compete in three very strong tournament fields.
Pre season begins the test with games against The Benjamin School and 8A powerhouse Park Vista at the HSBN Preseason Challenge. Both games to be played at American Heritage Delray. For the third year in a row, CCA has accepted an invitation to play in the Falcon Challenge at Flanagan High School to open the season. Once again, the host Falcons (8A) are the opponent on opening night with St. Thomas Aquinas waiting for game two. The final game will be against either Miami Pace, Douglas or Killian making the first five games a baptism by fire for the Eagles.
Later in the season, CCA will host the Second Annual 4Him Classic. Teams from Miami, Tampa, Washington, DC and Lake Worth will square off at Calvary the week of March 25-28. The following week, which is the Eagles spring break week, the team will jog up to Orlando for the Catholic Challenge at Bishop Moore High. Included in this field are three reigning State Champs (Pensacola Catholic, Marion Catholic of Illinois and Deltona Trinity). The host team, Bishop Moore lost to Pensacola in the state semi so this event is flush with talented teams as well.
Coming down the stretch, Coach Mucerino wanted to be battle tested for the playoffs. Upon returning from Orlando, two district games, a visit to Boca Raton High and the annual tilt with North Broward Prep accomplishes that wish. Twenty four regular season games, two pre seaon and hopefully five post season games loom for the 2013 Eagles.
