Nike 7on7 Tournament

Nike's annual 7on7 Tourney traveled to South Florida this weekend for a day filled with competition and athleticism. The teams trickled into Amelia Earhart Park early in the morning, awaiting a day of anticipated action— it should come as no surprise then, that the tournament was nothing less than just that, action packed.

The sun was blazing, and heat was nearly unbearable. However, all the athletes seemed to forget the sun’s unforgiving rays when the games were underway. The day demonstrated to onlookers why South Florida athletes are respected nationwide. It was a day of grind-hard respectful competition that everyone can enjoy.

2012 Champions: Homestead Broncos

Last year, the Homestead Bronco’s made a statement at Nike 7on7. They showcased their talent throughout the competition, and received the highest title for their works: 2011 Nike 7on7 Champions. The majority of the playmakers remembered for bringing the Bronco’s this championship have since then graduated and gone off to the next level. However, Homestead returned to the tournament to defend their title, and what came next would have shocked anybody who didn’t familiarize themselves with the team early in the competition. Under a new coaching staff, the Bronco’s once again reigned victorious.  The repeat champions faced Miami Jackson in the finals, and left with Bronco Pride as well as the championship trophy.

Displaying a vast number of talents that stretched from South Florida to Martin County, Nike once again had a successful year in South Florida.
